The core of KUKA’s business is the production of advanced production robots. Even the most complex of manufacturing processes can be carried out to a very high standard with this comprehensive range of industrial robots. They are available in a range of sizes, and offer six-axis operation for complete mobility. Among the many different variants on offer are HRC-capable lightweight robots, which are designed specifically for collaboration between humans and robots. The KUKA LBR iiwa, for instance, is a sensitive, HRC-compatible robot that boasts quick reactions and the ability to learn.
KUKA’s heat and dirt-resistant robots are built for delivering accuracy and efficiency in the most extreme of environmental conditions. For cleanroom operations in the electronics sector, KUKA manufactures a range of robots that comply with the strictest of hygiene requirements. The company also specialises in small, waterproof robots for use in machines tools, palletizing robots, welding robots and press-to-press robots. Each model has its own reach, and is designed to work on the floor, the ceiling, a wall or via a portal.
There are several KUKA industrial robots in the KR range, including the versatile KUKA KR6, which is compact and highly mobile and the KR 30 2, which shortens cycle times through maximum repeatability and precision landing.

The KUKA KR16 Series is extremely versatile. Available in a wide range of variants according to different requirements, it offers a high level of safety and efficiency. The KUKA KR 16 is suited to continuous-path controlled tasks, while it extension – the KR 20 – presents an increased payload of 20 kilos.
The KUKA KR 30 Series offers a similar design, but it has been created to handle average loads up to 30 kg. For heavier loads, one can turn to the KR 60 Series, which is capable of handling loads up to 60 kg.
The 2000 Series comprises the KUKA KR 150-2, 180-2, 210-2, 240-2 and 70-2. The model KR 210-2 F and its “exclusive” variant offer a cost-effective and flexible solution for extreme environment conditions. With a payload of up to 210 kilograms, it is an extremely powerful and efficient robot.
The KR AGILUS Series is characterized by its speed and compact-design. This KUKA robot is capable of handling loads up to 10 kg on 5 or 6 axes. The different models in the Series offer different levels of resistance to water or explosions.
