KUKA KR90 R2300

Robot details

The KUKA KR 90 R2300 is a 6‑axis heavy‑payload industrial robot designed for high load handling, precision, and reliability in space‑optimized industrial automation environments.

With a payload capacity of 90 kg and a reach of 2,300 mm, the KR 90 R2300 is ideal for material handling, machine loading and unloading, assembly, palletizing, and manipulation of large components where high payload capacity must be combined with a more compact working envelope than ultra‑long‑reach models.

Its rigid mechanical structure ensures high positioning accuracy, repeatability, and stability, even when operating at full payload. The robot is well suited for continuous production processes requiring consistent performance under heavy loads.

The robot is powered by the KUKA KR C5 controller, KUKA’s latest‑generation control platform, providing high‑performance motion control, advanced connectivity, and a compact system architecture for modern, digitally integrated manufacturing systems.

Motion Concept and Performance

The KUKA KR 90 R2300 is optimized for stable, controlled, and repeatable motion under heavy payloads, rather than aggressive acceleration.

Key motion characteristics include:

• High structural rigidity for heavy loads
• Stable point‑to‑point and continuous path motion
• High repeatability at full payload
• Reduced vibration and mechanical deflection
• Reliable performance in continuous industrial duty cycles

The 2,300 mm reach offers an excellent compromise between workspace coverage and compact cell layout, reducing the need for additional linear axes while maintaining high productivity.
