Kuka
For demanding heavy-duty automation
With the 'KR Titan ultra', Kuka is expanding its portfolio for demanding heavy-duty applications. The robot combines long reach with dynamics and thus opens up new scope in automotive manufacturing, battery and large component handling as well as in heavy-duty logistics.
A payload of up to 1500 kg and a reach of up to 4200 mm with a payload of 1000 kg enable the robot to safely and efficiently handle large, heavy components such as battery packs, body modules or tools. According to the manufacturer, the combination of payload capacity, reach and modular structure opens up completely new automation possibilities for users. Following the market launch of the most powerful version with a load capacity of 1500 kg and a reach of 3200 mm last year, two additional models with a load capacity of 1000 kg and reaches of 4200 mm and 3700 mm have been available since mid-January. This gives integrators and end users the flexibility to choose between different reach ranges depending on the application.
