KUKA KR 180PA robot (2004)

KUKA KR 180PA from 2004 is another unit in your collection dedicated to heavy-duty logistics. As a 4-axis robot, it is specialized in keeping the gripper level at all times, making it ideal for stacking bags, cartons, or crates on pallets. Compared to the 2003 version described earlier, this unit features an identical mechanical design, allowing for easy standardization of your machine fleet and full interchangeability of spare parts.

Technical Specifications

Why is it the “King of Palletizing”?

• 4-axis kinematics: Eliminating wrist rotation axes that are unnecessary for palletizing simplified the design while increasing rigidity and speed in the main axes.
• 3.2-meter reach: This working radius enables operation of multiple pallet stations (e.g., four pallets arranged in a square or arc) while picking products from a single conveyor.
• Precision: Despite its 180 kg payload and massive arm, a repeatability of ±0.05 mm allows for very tight and stable stacking of products, which is crucial when building tall pallet towers.
• KR C2 ecosystem: This controller is well known to technicians worldwide, ensuring easy servicing and low operating costs.
