KUKA launches the new KR Cybertech-2 series of robots, which improve automation efficiency with a lightweight design

Nengdong, July 1, 2024 – KUKA Robotics has launched the KR 12 R1450-2 E and KR 35 R1840-2 E in the KR Cybertech-2 series. With their lightweight design and stable performance, the two new products can provide more effective solutions for the automation needs of multiple industries.

Core Highlights:

• The lightweight design occupies a small area, and the use scenarios are flexible, saving compared to a solid wrist 15% space
• High wrist moment of inertia and outstanding load capacity, compared with existing products 20%
• High Repeatability KR 12 R1450-2 E has a repeatability of ±0.02mm, which is an improvement over existing products 100% The repeatability of the KR 35 R1840-2 E ± 0.03mm, which is higher than the existing products of the same grade 25%
• The hollow wrist structure reduces the risk of on-site interference and saves compared to a solid wrist 15% space
• Mounting dimensions of the base of the body for seamless switching
• It has a wide range of applications and is suitable for photovoltaics, electronics, auto parts, logistics, home appliances, lasers and other industries

Lightweight and agile Stable and better

The new series has two models to choose from, 12kg/1450mm, 35kg/1840mm, which can greatly meet the main application scenarios of small six-axis robots. The series is compact,

Reduced floor space

。 The mounting holes on the base are the same as those of KUKA's existing Cybertech series, so they can be switched directly.

Hollow wrist structure

It is convenient for internal wiring and reduces the risk of on-site interference. The rated load reaches 12kg and 35kg, corresponding

Repeat positioning accuracy was achieved ±0.02mm and ±0.03mm

It can also meet or exceed the application requirements in terms of beat, reflecting excellent product performance.

Higher moment of inertia of the wrist

It also greatly improves the load capacity of the robot. The main applications are:

Photovoltaics, electronics, auto parts, home appliances, logistics

and other general industries, involving applications such as handling, assembly, machine tool loading and unloading, grinding and other typical scenarios.

KR 12 R1450-2 E

KR 35 R1840-2 E

Structural design is re-optimized

• Based on the size of the Cybertech base, it extends to: 35kg The rated load broadens the range of applications for small payload robots
• Hollow wrists The internal wiring design of the wrist reduces on-site interference and provides more space for the production line

The performance of the product has been greatly improved

• High wrist moment of inertia The strong load capacity meets the high-demand application scenarios such as grinding and deburring
• High repeatability accuracy, accuracy reached: ± 0.02mm-0.03mm interval to ensure high-precision operation
• Central wrist protection rating IP67 Suitable for harsh environments, such as machining, etc
