Kuka Robotics introduces the new KR Cybertech-2 series robots – KR 12 R1450-2E and KR 35 R1840-2E. With their lightweight design and stable performance, the two new products provide a more effective solution for the automation needs of multiple industries.

Core highlight
• Lightweight design with small footprint and flexible use scenarios, saving 15% space compared with solid wrist
• High wrist moment of inertia, outstanding load capacity, 20% more than existing products
• High repeatable positioning accuracy
•KR 12 R1450-2E repeated positioning accuracy ±0.02mm, 100% improvement compared to existing products
•KR 35 R1840-2E repeated positioning accuracy of ±0.03mm, 25% higher than the existing product
• Hollow wrist structure reduces the risk of interference in the field, saving 15% space than a solid wrist
• Body base installation size, seamless switching
• Wide range of applications, suitable for photovoltaic, electronics, auto parts, logistics, home appliances, laser and other industries

C2RPS-CHAS2 Light weight 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 and reduces footprint. The mounting holes of the base of the body are the same as those of Kuka’s existing Cybertech series, and can be switched directly. The hollow wrist structure facilitates internal wiring and reduces the risk of field interference. The rated load reaches 12kg and 35kg, the corresponding repeated positioning accuracy reaches ±0.02mm and ±0.03mm, and the beat can also meet or exceed the application requirements, reflecting excellent product performance. The high wrist moment of inertia also greatly improves the robot’s carrying capacity.

Mainly used in photovoltaic, electronics, auto parts, home appliances, logistics and other general industries, involving the application of handling, assembly, machine tool loading and unloading, grinding and other typical scenes.

Re-optimization of structural design

Based on the size of the Cybertech base, it extends to 35kg rated load, broadening the application range of small-load robots

Hollow wrist, internal wrist line design to reduce field interference, provide more space for the production line

Product performance has been greatly improved
• High wrist moment of inertia, powerful carrying capacity to meet the high requirements of grinding, deburring and other applications
• High repetitive positioning accuracy, accuracy of ±0.02mm to 0.03mm range, to ensure high precision operation
• Central wrist protection class IP67 is suitable for harsh environments such as machining

C2RPS-CHAS2 More options configuration
• Optional pipe pack: 16pin IO + 1 xΦ6 gas pipe for 12kg model, 16pin IO + 2 xΦ6 gas pipe for 35kg model
• Optimize zero calibration to improve site efficiency (standard)
• All-round Angle installation, flexible to adapt to different scenarios (standard)
• Global certification: CE/UL/CR standard (standard)

Wide range of application scenarios (including but not limited to)
• Photovoltaic industry: battery inserts in process segments such as diffusion and coating
• Electronics industry: mobile phone, tablet parts handling testing, mobile phone shell grinding, PCB board handling
• Auto parts: machine tool loading and unloading of parts, polishing of metal parts
• Logistics industry: logistics production line package handling and palletizing, loading machine disassembly palletizing
• Home appliance industry: injection molding machine loading and unloading of home appliance components
• Laser processing: Laser welding and cutting of metal parts

Kuka’s new KR Cybertech-2 series robot is a demonstration of KUka’s technical strength in the field of automation, and solves a series of pain points such as insufficient timing of small six-axis robot products, limited working space in the production site, and inability to meet high-precision requirements in some scenarios. In the future, Kuka will continue to be committed to providing efficient and intelligent automation solutions for various industries, close to the market, close to demand, and continue to provide sustainable value to customers.
