KUKA KR 140 comp robot (2004)

KUKA KR 140 comp (Series 2000) is a market classic designed for maximum power density in a compact footprint. The “comp” designation indicates a space-optimized variant that retains an impressive payload capacity of 140 kg . Manufactured in 2003 , this model operates with the reliable KR C2 controller and for years served as a backbone of robotic spot welding lines and heavy material handling applications in the automotive industry.

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Applications

• Compact power: The “comp” version features slightly reduced base and arm dimensions compared to standard 150–200 kg units, allowing for denser robot integration within production cells.
• KR C2 controller: A proven PC-based control system offering extensive expandability with additional I/O cards, communication modules (e.g., DeviceNet, Profibus), and straightforward diagnostics.
• Applications: Ideal for spot welding, heavy press tending, palletizing, and handling large castings or body-in-white components.
• Robust construction: Robots from this series are known for their “tank-like” durability. With regular gearbox servicing and oil changes, they are machines built to last.
