KUKA KR 50 R2100-2 50kg Payload 2101mm Reach 6 Axis Industrial Robot Arm

KUKA KR 50 R2100-2 50kg Payload 2101mm Reach 6 Axis Industrial Robot Arm

Overview

• • The KUKA KR 50 R2100-2 is a 50 kg class six axis industrial robot arm from the KR IONTEC family, sized for fast cycle work where floor space is tight.
• • A 2101 mm maximum reach and a 598 mm x 480 mm footprint let the industrial robot arm cover a machine door, a conveyor and a pallet position without a large foundation.
• • Pose repeatability of +/-0.03 mm to ISO 9283 is the tightest in this class, which suits insertion, dispensing and gauging tasks that cannot tolerate drift.
• • Rated payload is 50 kg, and with reduced load centre distance and favourable supplementary loads the maximum payload reaches 66 kg for heavier grippers and fixtures.
• • At approximately 500 kg the robot is light enough to be mounted on a ceiling frame, freeing the floor for operators, forklifts and material flow.
• • Protection rating IP54 on the body and IP67 on the wrist covers dust, coolant splash and short washdown exposure on machine tending duty.
• • Axis speeds of 180 deg/s on A1 and A3, 245 deg/s on A4 and 355 deg/s on A6 make it one of the quickest arms in the 50 kg class.
• • The KR C5-2 or KR C5 controller provides motion control, safety functions and fieldbus options, matching current KUKA automation standards.
• • Supplementary load allowances of 50 kg on the rotating column, 30 kg on the link arm and 20 kg on the arm support dress packs and camera brackets.
• • A working ambient range of 0 degC to 55 degC covers unheated workshops and normal production halls alike.
• • Typical duty includes machine tending for lathes and grinders, high speed pick and place, overhead ceiling mounted transfer and assembly feeding.

Key Specifications

Advantages

• • A 50 kg payload with 66 kg maximum payload covers grippers, fixtures and mid weight parts.
• • +/-0.03 mm repeatability supports insertion, dosing and gauging work at production speed.
• • The 2101 mm reach and compact footprint fit inside existing cell layouts without civil work.
• • Ceiling mounting options free floor space for operators and material handling equipment.
• • IP54 body and IP67 wrist protection resist dust and coolant splash near machine tools.
• • Axis speeds up to 355 deg/s on A6 shorten pick and place cycles considerably.
• • A 500 kg structure is light enough for steel frame mounting yet stiff enough for accurate work.
• • KR C5-2 and KR C5 controllers keep spare parts and programming common across the fleet.
• • Widely available service parts and documentation protect long term uptime.

Applications

• • Machine tending of lathes, grinders and compact machining centres.
• • High speed pick and place between conveyors and trays.
• • Ceiling mounted overhead transfer where floor space is limited.
• • Assembly line feeding of small and mid weight components.
• • Dispensing, sealing and gluing with tight path accuracy.
• • Inspection and gauging stations requiring repeatable presentation.
• • Palletizing of small cartons and totes at the end of a line.
• • Machine unloading in die casting and plastic moulding cells.

FAQ

Q: What is the KR 50 R2100-2 used for?
A: It suits machine tending, high speed pick and place, ceiling mounted transfer and assembly feeding. Share your layout and cycle target and we will confirm the configuration.

Q: How much can it lift?
A: Rated payload is 50 kg, with up to 66 kg maximum payload when load centre distance is reduced and supplementary loads are favourable, verified in the KUKA load case.

Q: How accurate is the arm?
A: Pose repeatability is +/-0.03 mm to ISO 9283, the tightest grade in this payload class, suitable for insertion and dispensing work.

Q: Can the robot be mounted on the ceiling?
A: Yes. Floor and ceiling mounting are both supported, and the 500 kg weight keeps the mounting frame modest.

Q: What protection rating does it have?
A: IP54 on the body and IP67 on the wrist to IEC 60529, covering dust, coolant splash and short washdown exposure.

Q: Which controllers are available?
A: KR C5-2 and KR C5 controllers, both sharing the current KUKA programming environment and fieldbus options.

Q: What is the footprint and weight?
A: The footprint is 598 mm x 480 mm and the robot weighs approximately 500 kg, so it fits compact cells and existing pads.

Q: What are 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.
