KUKA KR 150 R2700-2 Handling Robot for Automotive Foundry Lines

Overview

• • The KUKA KR 150 R2700-2 is a six axis handling robot built for automotive and foundry production lines.
• • It works in the 150 kg class, matching brackets, housings and castings that pass through several stations.
• • A 2700 mm working reach covers transfer between adjacent machines from one floor mounted base.
• • A steel structure and 1000 W drive package support continuous duty in general industry environments.
• • The arm is paired with standard or custom grippers depending on part shape and surface finish.
• • Cable and dress pack routing is checked during commissioning to avoid wear at the wrist.

Specifications

Advantages

• • The 150 kg class covers common automotive brackets and housings without oversizing the arm.
• • A 2700 mm reach moves parts between presses, gauges and buffers from a single base.
• • Repeatable positioning keeps fixtures loaded correctly, which reduces scrap from misalignment.
• • A steel structure tolerates the shock of bin picking in foundry areas.
• • A 1000 W drive package maintains cycle time through long shifts.
• • Floor mounting fits existing plant layouts without a new foundation design.
• • A one year warranty and local parts support keep line availability high.
• • Gripper choice is matched to part shape, so brackets and housings are held without surface damage.
• • Dress pack routing is checked at commissioning, which reduces cable failures at the wrist.
• • Fieldbus interfaces connect the arm to existing line controls without extra gateways.
• • Maintenance points sit at floor level, so planned service stops stay short.
• • The arm tolerates ambient dust and vibration in general industry buildings.

Applications

• • Loading and unloading automotive brackets and housings.
• • Transfer of castings between foundry stations.
• • Machine tending for machining and deburring cells.
• • Palletizing of metal components at end of line.
• • Buffer handling between presses and inspection points.
• • Transferring transmission parts between machining cells.
• • Handling stamped components after forming.
• • Loading fixtures during model changeover on automotive lines.

FAQ

• • What load class does it cover? The robot works in the 150 kg class, which suits brackets, housings and medium castings.
• • How far can it reach? The working reach is 2700 mm, covering adjacent stations from one floor position.
