KUKA KR 120 R2700-2 120kg Payload 2701mm Reach 6 Axis Industrial Robot Arm

KUKA KR 120 R2700-2 120kg Payload 2701mm Reach 6 Axis Industrial Robot Arm

Overview

• • The KUKA KR 120 R2700-2 is a six axis industrial robot arm from the KR QUANTEC family, engineered around a 120 kg rated payload for continuous high duty handling work.
• • A 2701 mm maximum reach gives the industrial robot arm a wide working envelope, so one unit can serve two machine tools, a conveyor and a pallet position without a linear track.
• • Pose repeatability of +/-0.05 mm to ISO 9283 holds the tool centre point in place cycle after cycle, keeping gripper, fixture and dispenser alignment stable over long production runs.
• • Where load centre distance is reduced and supplementary loads are favourable, the maximum payload rises to 167 kg, enough for heavier dies, castings and battery modules.
• • The industrial robot arm is floor mounted on a 754 mm x 754 mm footprint and weighs approximately 1069 kg, a mass that gives the structure rigidity for fast motion at full load.
• • Protection rating IP65 on the arm body and IP65/IP67 on the wrist resists dust, coolant mist and splash on machining, die casting and foundry floors.
• • The KR C5-2 or KR C5 controller supplies motion control, safety interfaces and fieldbus options, so the arm connects to existing PLC and cell networks without extra gateways.
• • ESD compliance to IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 supports deployment in electronics, battery and semiconductor handling areas.
• • Axis speeds reaching 120 deg/s on A1 and A3, 190 deg/s on A4 and 260 deg/s on A6 keep cycle times short on high throughput lines.
• • A working ambient range of 0 degC to 55 degC covers unheated workshops as well as conditioned production halls.
• • Supplementary load allowances of 300 kg on the rotating column, 130 kg on the link arm and 150 kg on the arm leave room for dress packs, grippers and vision brackets.

Key Specifications

Advantages

• • A 120 kg rated payload moves complete assemblies, battery packs or castings instead of single small parts.
• • The 2701 mm reach removes the need for an extra linear track on many machine tending layouts, cutting capital cost and floor space.
• • +/-0.05 mm pose repeatability keeps insertion, clamping and dispensing positions identical across a full three shift week.
• • IP65 body protection and IP65/IP67 wrist protection reduce unplanned stops caused by coolant, swarf and dust ingress.
• • A 167 kg maximum payload leaves headroom for heavy end effectors without dropping cycle speed.
• • Proven KR QUANTEC mechanical architecture keeps spare parts, dress packs and service knowledge widely available.
• • KR C5-2 and KR C5 controllers share one programming environment, simplifying a mixed fleet spare strategy.
• • ESD rated construction removes external static control hardware when handling electronics and battery modules.
• • A rigid 1069 kg structure and high axis speeds sustain short cycle times under continuous operation.

Applications

• • Machine tending: loading and unloading CNC lathes, machining centres and grinding machines.
• • Palletizing and depalletizing of cartons, bags and cases at end of line.
• • Die casting and foundry handling: part extraction, quenching and press transfer.
• • Battery module and electronics handling inside ESD protected assembly areas.
• • Heavy part transfer between conveyors, fixtures and inspection stations.
• • Press tending and metal forming lines requiring repeated heavy blank handling.
• • Dispensing, sealing and gluing of large automotive components.
• • Grinding and polishing cells where dust and coolant mist are present.

FAQ

Q: What is the KR 120 R2700-2 used for?
A: It handles machine tending, palletizing, die casting extraction and heavy part transfer. Share your layout and we will confirm the reach and payload case for your cell.

Q: How much can this industrial robot arm lift?
A: Rated payload is 120 kg. With reduced load centre distance and favourable supplementary loads the maximum payload reaches 167 kg, verified as a specific KUKA load case.

Q: What is the maximum reach?
A: 2701 mm from the robot base, which typically covers two machine tools or a full pallet position from one floor mounted station.

Q: How accurate is the arm?
A: Pose repeatability is +/-0.05 mm according to ISO 9283, suitable for insertion, clamping and dispensing work that repeats all shift.

Q: Which controller is required?
A: The robot runs on a KR C5-2 or KR C5 controller, both sharing the same programming environment and fieldbus options.

Q: What protection rating does it have?
A: IP65 on the arm body and IP65/IP67 on the wrist to IEC 60529, covering dust, coolant mist and washdown splash in machining and foundry areas.

Q: Can it work in a die casting cell?
A: Yes. IP65 protection, 167 kg maximum payload and 55 degC ambient rating suit hot part extraction, quenching and deburring transfer.

Q: What are the delivery and terms?
A: Lead time is 15 to 30 days after deposit for standard configurations. FOB, CIF and other terms are quoted on request; contact us with your destination port.
