KR 50 R2100 50kg Payload 2101mm Reach ±0.05mm ESD Protected Pick-and-Place Robot

KR 50 R2100 Medium Payload Pick-and-Place Robot

The KUKA KR 50 R2100 is a six-axis KR IONTEC robot built for medium payload pick-and-place work where speed, reach and uptime decide the cycle time. It carries a 50 kg rated payload across a 2,101 mm reach and holds a pose repeatability of ±0.05 mm, so this pick-and-place robot keeps every transfer, loading and assembly move accurate and repeatable. The compact body still offers one of the largest work envelopes in the medium payload class, which lets a single robot feed more stations in a tight cell.

Daily operation is designed to be simple and economical. Digital Motion Modes let you adapt the robot's performance to each process or sub-step at the push of a button, trading speed against precision as needed. The in-line wrist has no belts, and an oil change is only required every 20,000 operating hours, while the machine needs 50 percent fewer spare parts than its predecessor. An A1 hollow shaft measuring 119 mm keeps energy supply easy and the footprint small, and ESD protection as standard guards sensitive electronic components during handling. Payload capacity can even be adjusted after installation, and a Foundry option extends the working range to 0 to 55 °C.

Technical Parameters

Key Advantages

• Large work envelope: a 2,101 mm reach with a compact body gives the widest coverage in its class.
• Adaptable process control: digital Motion Modes tune speed versus precision at the push of a button.
• Low maintenance: an in-line wrist without belts and a 20,000-hour oil change interval cut downtime.
• Lower spare parts cost: the robot needs 50 percent fewer spare parts than its predecessor.
• Flexible mounting: floor, ceiling, wall and angle mounting suit compact cell layouts.
• Safe for electronics: standard ESD protection safeguards sensitive electronic components.

Application Fields

• Pick and place feeding across multiple stations
• Assembly and part transfer in medium payload cells
• Machine loading and unloading
• Handling of sensitive electronic components with ESD protection
• Food-compatible handling with HO lubricant variants

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What payload and reach does the KR 50 R2100 offer?
A: The robot provides a 50 kg rated payload with a 2,101 mm reach, a balance well suited to pick-and-place feeding, assembly and machine loading where a medium payload arm must cover a large envelope.

Q: How accurate is the pick-and-place robot?
A: Pose repeatability is ±0.05 mm, and digital Motion Modes let you shift between higher speed and higher precision for each process step.

Q: How much maintenance does it need?
A: Very little. The in-line wrist has no belts and an oil change is only needed every 20,000 operating hours, and the robot requires 50 percent fewer spare parts than its predecessor.

Q: Is the robot suitable for sensitive electronics?
A: Yes. ESD protection is fitted as standard, so the KR 50 R2100 is protected against uncontrolled electrostatic charging and safe for handling sensitive electronic components.

Q: How can the robot be mounted and where can it work?
A: It can be mounted on the floor, ceiling, wall or an angle, and a Foundry option extends the operating range from 0 to 55 °C for hotter environments.

For medium payload automation, the KUKA KR 50 R2100 combines a 50 kg payload, a 2,101 mm reach and ±0.05 mm repeatability in a compact KR IONTEC body. With belt-free in-line wrist, 20,000-hour maintenance intervals, standard ESD protection and flexible floor, ceiling, wall or angle mounting, it is a practical pick-and-place robot for feeding, assembly and machine loading.
