KUKA KR 500 R2830 MT industrial robot

KUKA KR 500 R2830 MT industrial robot built in 2014 in Germany is mainly used for precision milling of workpieces. The robust arm design made of light metals and cast iron, combined with reinforced gears, provide high overload resistance and a high lifting capacity of up to 500 kg. During its 5-year service life, the KUKA KR 500 FORTEC milling robot has worked only 40 hours.

The machine has a 6-axis articulated arm kinematic system with components driven by AC actuators. This solution enables excellent dynamics and high process reliability. In order to significantly increase productivity and efficiency, both the robot and the KUKA KP1-V1000 rotary positioner with a load capacity of 1t are controlled by a KUKA KR C4 controller with many useful functions and programmes. The total weight of the machine is 2440kg.
