Making light work of it all
KUKA’s low payload category from 6 kg to 22 kg
KUKA robots with low payloads demonstrate unique strengths in bonding, sealing,
foaming and all tasks requiring a high path accuracy. In arc welding, KUKA robots
for low payloads boast the best acceleration values on the market.
Outstanding advantage:
world-class acceleration
in arc welding
Reliable handling. KR CYBERTECH robots are the highly productive solution for
component handling, automated assembly and palletizing, as well as arc welding
processes.
�Reliable handling Precise machining. The KR CYBERTECH portfolio includes powerful robots for the
precise machining of workpieces. The KR CYBERTECH thus paves the way for
precision in many other areas of manufacturing.
�Precise machining
High-accuracy CP motion. Thanks to new controller structures, all KR CYBERTECH
robots work with extremely high path accuracy and speed. Their acceleration values
and the new, ergonomic design with minimized disruptive contours already reveal
their talent for automation at the highest level.
�Extremely flexible
Perfected for handling and assembly. Fast and incredibly agile with the utmost Workspace Volume
precision. Down to the very last detail, KR CYBERTECH nano robots are KR 6 R1820 22.97 m3
designed as high-end handling robots.
Compact design. Reduced volume with greater payload capacity and longer
reach. KR CYBERTECH nano robots work in confined spaces.
Maximum workspace. With their large working envelope to the rear and
long downward reach, KR CYBERTECH nano robots can work in areas

More powerful, safer, more flexible, and more intelligent. The KR C4 has been created
for the automation of today and tomorrow. Thanks to its open architecture it is a master
of simple integration. It can communicate in a wide range of programming languages and
is ideally suited to the control of KUKA manipulators. It can carry out a vast range of
tasks, be used for robots of all payload categories, and control entire production lines. 792 mm 558 mm
With the KR C4 all integrated controllers, SafetyControl, RobotControl, MotionControl,
and LogicControl have a joint database and infrastructure for maximum performance,
scalability, and flexibility. Both now and in the future.

abilities become, the greater the importance of intuitive user interfaces for their
operation. The KUKA smartPAD was designed to master even complex tasks
easily. It can be deployed universally for all payload categories and is easy to handle
thanks to its large touch display and ergonomic design. Intelligent, interactive
dialogs provide the user with those operator control elements that are currently
required. This makes work faster, more efficient and smarter all-round.
