Medium payload robots
High range with compact design
With the new KR Iontec product series, robotics and automation specialist Kuka offers a flexible robot in the medium payload class.
Whether on the floor, on the wall or in an inclined position - the KR Iontec can be used in any installation position. It is possible to convert the payload from 30 to up to 70 kg with the robot installed. The robot is designed for use in classic and digital production environments and has a maximum reach of 3,100 mm.
Thanks to its long reach, the ability to work particularly close to the robot itself and the enlarged working area underneath the robot, the KR Iontec makes optimum use of its working area. The robot's small footprint and slim interfering contour also enable a compact cell design.
