The Heavy Duty Industrial Robot Arm For Multiple Applications
A heavy-duty industrial robot arm with a high payload and large work envelope, the heavy-duty KR 500 boasts enhanced features such as an integrated energy supply, an extension of the reference load center distance, and more efficient use of floor space. It is available as a cleanroom arm, ceiling-mounted arm, foundry arm, and ceiling-mounted foundry arm.
Absolute Precision
For an unbeatable product quality in the heavy-duty range, the Kuka KR 500 combines power and technology with pose repeatability of ±0.1500 mm. With an arm reach of 2836.00 mm, the Kuka robot arm is far-reaching and can get to the tightest corners of your workplace. The Kuka KR 500 also boasts a mass of 2350.00 kg, plus an articulated structure, and can be mounted invertedly or on the floor.
Efficient and Powerful
The Kuka KR 500 handles large and heavy components that weigh up to 500 kilograms with remarkable precision and ease. In addition to its power and efficiency, it requires very little maintenance and is characterized by cost-efficiency as a result.
Kuka KR C2 Controller
From low payload arms to heavy-duty arms, the Kuka KR C2 Controller is suitable for the entire robot range. It features a plug-and-play functionality and it can be networked to communicate with each other in real-time, making it possible for a number of robots to work together on a single workpiece.
Supports Multiple Applications
The Kuka KR 500 is a versatile heavy-duty robot suitable for a wide range of applications including, assembly, foundry, material handling, material loading, order picking, and so much more.
Assembly
Used for lean industrial processes and boasts an expanded production capability in the manufacturing sector, an assembly line EOAT (end-of-arm-tooling) can be customized for each assembly robot to cater to the manufacturing requirements.
Coating
Not only can coating applications be tedious, dangerous, and sometimes wasteful, but these strenuous tasks subject the human worker to hazardous toxic fumes which can cause long-term health issues. Coating robots, on the other hand, are able to spray a product more evenly and accurately, improving quality and reducing running.
Fiberglass Cutting
This process has always required precision cutting and the Kuka KR 500 does not disappoint with its state of the art precision and repeatability. With this automated system robot, production speeds become greatly enhanced and overall output is more efficient.
Foundry
Despite the harsh conditions common to forge shops, foundries, steel mills, and automotive plants, these harsh conditions are well-suited for robot automation. Foundry robots are designed to perform in hot, hazardous environments with the ability to withstand high levels of dust as well as exposure to high-pressure sprays and chemicals.
Machine Loading
While repetitive loading of parts on and off a machine can be extremely strenuous on workers, machine loading robots help protect workers from injury, and with each robotic machine loader that can be fitted with proper EOAT (end-of-arm-tooling) compatible to your machine, they are precise and also boast dexterity to handle the part with care.
The KR 500 delivers outstanding performance despite its heavy weight. Its versatility makes it a sought after robot across various industries today.
