The KUKA KR 500 is a flagship six-axis industrial robot engineered for the most demanding heavy-duty tasks, from automotive assembly to large-part machining. Designed with a floor-mounted configuration, the KR 500 combines a massive 500 kg payload capacity with a repeatability of just 0.08 mm, making it one of the most precise heavy-lift robots in its class. Its organic, streamlined body and robust structural components deliver exceptional torsional stiffness, ensuring stable, vibration-free operation even under maximum load. The KR 500 is built to integrate seamlessly into modern production lines, offering flexible reach options and compatibility with the KRC2 Ed05 controller for intuitive programming, advanced motion control, and easy maintenance. Whether handling heavy castings, loading CNC machines, or performing high-force assembly tasks, the KR 500 delivers uncompromising performance and reliability.
