KUKA KR70 R2100-F KRC5

Robot details

The KUKA KR 70 R2100‑F is a robust 6‑axis industrial robot designed for foundry and harsh industrial environments.
The F version (Foundry) is specially engineered to work in high‑temperature, dusty, and demanding conditions, where standard robots cannot operate reliably.

This robot has a rated payload of 70 kg and a maximum reach of 2100 mm, allowing it to handle heavy components with strength, speed, and precision.
Its solid mechanical structure ensures long service life and stable performance even in extreme working areas.

The robot is controlled by the KUKA KRC5 controller, which enables advanced automation, high accuracy, and easy integration with artificial intelligence, sensors, and Industry 4.0 systems.
This makes the robot suitable for smart production lines and modern industrial processes.

Thanks to its flexibility, durability, and precise motion control, the KR 70 R2100‑F is widely used in heavy industry where reliability and safety are essential.

The KR 70 R2100‑F is designed with:

• Heat‑resistant materials
• Sealed mechanical components
• High protection against dust and contaminants

These features allow safe and continuous operation in environments such as casting plants and metal processing lines.

Robot applications

• Press tending
• Loading and unloading of parts
• Machining
• Handling of parts
• Palletising
• Assembly of parts
