KUKA LBR iisy 11 R1300
Robot details
The KUKA LBR iisy 11 R1300 is a 6‑axis collaborative industrial robot designed for applications that require extended reach, collaborative safety, and ease of use within modern production environments.
With a payload of 11 kg and an extended reach of 1,300 mm, the LBR iisy 11 R1300 is ideal for collaborative tasks over larger work areas, allowing manufacturers to automate operations that would otherwise require larger industrial robots or multiple manual stations.
The robot combines compact mechanical design, collaborative safety features, and intuitive programming, making it suitable both for experienced system integrators and for companies adopting collaborative robotics for the first time.
Collaborative Operation and Motion Concept
The LBR iisy 11 R1300 is engineered to operate safely alongside human operators, using collaborative safety concepts based on speed and force monitoring.
Rather than prioritizing aggressive speeds, the robot focuses on:
- Smooth and predictable motion
- Stable trajectory control
- Configurable speed and force limits
- Safe operation in shared workspaces
Its long reach enables efficient coverage of wide work areas while maintaining a compact cell footprint.
