KUKA LBR IIWA 7 R800 SUNRISE
Robot details
The KUKA LBR iiwa 7 R800 is an advanced 7‑axis collaborative robot (cobot) designed for safe human‑robot collaboration.
Unlike traditional industrial robots, the LBR iiwa is built to work directly alongside humans, without safety fences, thanks to its integrated torque sensors in every joint.
The robot has a rated payload of 7 kg and a maximum reach of 800 mm, making it ideal for precision tasks, flexible automation, and research applications.
Its kinematic structure is inspired by the human arm, allowing extremely smooth and natural movements in confined spaces.
The LBR iiwa 7 R800 is controlled by the KUKA Sunrise controller, a dedicated control platform designed for collaborative robotics, AI integration, and sensor‑based applications.
This enables advanced functions such as force control, hand‑guiding, AI‑based perception, and adaptive automation.
Thanks to its sensitivity, accuracy, and flexibility, the KUKA LBR iiwa is widely used in smart factories, laboratories, and Industry 4.0 environments.
