KUKA KR 4 R600 4 kg Payload 600 mm Reach Compact 6-Axis Industrial Robot for Small Cell Handling

Overview

• • The KUKA KR 4 R600 AGILUS is a 4 kg payload compact industrial robot built for handling, assembly and continuous-path work inside small and ultra-compact production cells.
• • A 600 mm reach covers the full standard 600 x 600 mm² workspace, so this 600 mm reach robot can serve a complete station without an extra linear axis.
• • Cycle times as fast as 0.4 seconds in the Small Adept Cycle, measured at a payload of up to 3 kg, keep takt time short in high-mix output.
• • The 4 kg payload robot runs on the KR C5 micro controller, which unites robot, PLC, motion and safety control in a housing of only 16 litres.
• • Energy and data supply, air and power lines are routed inside the axes, which minimises disruptive contours and speeds up peripheral integration.
• • Every unit is ESD-protected and rated IP40, so the compact industrial robot also works in electronics and temperature-sensitive assembly areas.

Technical Specifications

Advantages

More Performance at an Attractive Price

• • The 4 kg payload rating, utmost precision, short cycle times and low dead weight of the arm come at a favourable entry price.
• • A single robot type covers handling, continuous-path motion and pinpoint-accurate work, which simplifies planning and spare-part stock.
• • Low total cost of ownership comes from outstanding availability and minimal service requirements over the whole machine life.

Certified Quality

• • The compact industrial robot is certified to the EU standard CE mark, including TÜV Functional Safety certification.
• • It also carries the American UL mark of conformity, which removes a common compliance hurdle for North American projects.

Robust in Its Work Environment

• • Operation is released across the entire temperature range from 0 to 55 °C, which suits unheated halls and near-machine cabinets.
• • IP protection class 40 and ESD protection keep the 600 mm reach robot reliable in dust-laden and static-sensitive assembly areas.

Any Installation Position, Any Angle

• • Floor, wall and ceiling mounting are standard, so the 4 kg payload robot fits existing frames instead of forcing a new layout.
• • A large workspace to the rear makes the unit particularly suitable for overhead applications and inverted gantries.
• • The internal media supply for air, power and data was prepared at the works for quick, safe and simple peripheral integration.

KR C5 Micro Control Technology

• • The controller combines robot, PLC, motion and safety functions in a 16 litre housing, which frees control-cabinet space inside compact cells.
• • State-of-the-art control technology from KUKA helps engineers solve and control tasks more efficiently and more intuitively.

Applications

• • Handling and pick-and-place of small parts, where the 4 kg payload and 0.4 second cycles set the pace of the cell.
• • Assembly and screwdriving stations that need pinpoint accuracy inside a 600 x 600 mm² working envelope.
• • Machine tending of small CNC, press and injection-moulding equipment, mounted on the floor or overhead.
• • Electronics, sensor and semiconductor assembly, where IP40 and ESD protection are mandatory for the compact industrial robot.
• • Laboratory, medical and pharmaceutical dosing tasks performed in clean, temperature-controlled rooms.
• • Quality inspection, gauging and test handling, including continuous-path scanning with a sensor on the flange.
• • Packaging, labelling and end-of-line kitting, where a 600 mm reach robot serves one compact station end to end.
• • Automotive component and supplier lines that require CE, TÜV Functional Safety and UL conformity from the outset.

FAQ

Q1. What payload and reach does this robot offer?
It is rated for 4 kg payload with a 600 mm reach, which covers a full standard 600 x 600 mm² workspace. The 0.4 second cycle time is specified at a payload of up to 3 kg.

Q2. Which controller is supplied with the KR 4 AGILUS?
The robot operates with the KR C5 micro, the latest-generation KUKA controller that integrates robot, PLC, motion and safety control in a 16 litre housing.

Q3. Can it be mounted on a wall or on the ceiling?
Yes. Floor, wall, ceiling and angled mounting are all standard, and the extended rear workspace is designed for overhead applications.

Q4. What protection and temperature range are available?
The unit is rated IP40 and ESD-protected, and it is released for continuous operation from 0 to 55 °C.

Q5. Which certifications and compliance marks are included?
The robot carries the CE mark including TÜV Functional Safety certification, plus the American UL mark of conformity.

Q6. How are air, power and data lines routed to the tool?
Media supply for air, power and data is integrated inside the axes, so peripheral equipment connects quickly with minimum disruptive contours.
