KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA 6-Axis Handling Robot 210 kg Payload 2696 mm Reach IP65

Product Specification

Overview

• • The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA is a six-axis heavy-payload robot from the KR QUANTEC extra series, built for continuous handling work in automotive, forging and logistics cells.
• • The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA carries a rated payload of 210 kg with a rated total load of 260 kg and a rated moment of inertia of 105 kg·m² at the flange.
• • A maximum reach of 2,696 mm, referenced to the intersection of axes 4 and 5, sweeps a work envelope volume of 55 m³.
• • Pose repeatability of ±0.06 mm to ISO 9283 keeps heavy grippers and fixtures in the same position shift after shift.
• • Arm and in-line wrist are both rated IP65 to IEC 60529, and the arm runs in ambient temperatures from +10 °C to +55 °C.
• • Floor mounting needs a base area of only 830 mm × 830 mm, with a permitted inclination of up to 5° on the mounting face.
• • The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA runs on the KR C4 controller, supplied as type KR210R2700 EXTRA C4 FLR, with motor and data cables in 7 m to 50 m lengths.
• • The arm weighs approximately 1,068 kg without the controller, so floor load and lifting plans should be sized at the planning stage.

Advantages

Heavy Payload with Real Margin

• • On the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA, the 210 kg rated payload against a 260 kg total load leaves 50 kg of headroom for grippers, suction frames and cables.
• • Rated moment of inertia of 105 kg·m² supports large, wide-spread tools such as vacuum gripper bridges and fork-style pallet grippers.
• • On the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA, additional loads allow up to 300 kg on the rotating column, 130 kg on the arm and 150 kg on the forearm.
• • Rated load centre distances of 270 mm in Lxy and 240 mm in Lz match the geometry of typical heavy handling tools.

Long Reach from a Compact Base

• • A 2,696 mm reach and a 55 m³ work envelope cover two pallet stations plus the infeed conveyor of a typical cell.
• • The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA base needs only 830 mm × 830 mm of floor area, so safety fences and operator walkways keep usable width.
• • Floor mounting tolerates up to 5° of inclination as a series value, which simplifies retrofits on older concrete slabs.
• • Wide axis 1 travel of ±185° lets one KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA serve stations on both sides of the pedestal.

IP65 Protection and Industrial Endurance

• • IP65 on both arm and in-line wrist to IEC 60529 keeps dust out and withstands water jets during washdown cleaning.
• • The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA runs continuously from +10 °C to +55 °C suits non-air-conditioned halls, with a defined preheat routine below +10 °C.
• • A noise level below 75 dB(A) keeps the cell inside normal workshop limits, and climate class 3K3 covers humid production areas.
• • The 139 mm hollow shaft in axis 1 routes motor and tool cabling inside the base and protects it from mechanical damage.

Fast Axis Speeds for Short Cycles

• • At rated payload the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA runs 123 °/s on A1, 115 °/s on A2 and 112 °/s on A3.
• • Wrist speeds of 179 °/s on A4, 172 °/s on A5 and 219 °/s on A6 keep re-orientation time low on heavy parts.
• • On the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA, ±0.06 mm repeatability is maintained at full load, so cycle-time tuning does not cost positioning accuracy.
• • The KR C4 controller family is shared across the KR QUANTEC extra range, so programming skills transfer between cells.

Applications

• • End-of-line palletizing: full layers of cartons, bags or cans built with a 210 kg payload vacuum or fork gripper.
• • Depalletizing and layer picking from Euro pallets, where the 55 m³ envelope covers the stack and the outfeed conveyor.
• • Machine tending: the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA loads and unloads machining centres, presses and saws with heavy fixtures on a 2,696 mm reach.
• • Press linking and inter-press transfer, where the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA handles stamped parts between two stations.
• • Foundry and forging cells in the F and F-HP variants, for hot castings and billets in fouling, high-temperature surroundings.
• • General material handling in logistics hubs, where the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA picks heavy bins and transfers full pallets.
• • Glass, wood panel and precast part handling, where long reach and payload combine with the factory floor layout.

FAQ

What payload and reach does the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA offer?

The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA is rated at 210 kg payload with a 260 kg total load and a rated moment of inertia of 105 kg·m², and it reaches 2,696 mm to the axis 4/5 intersection.

Can heavy tools be mounted on the arm?

Yes. Additional loads are approved up to 300 kg on the rotating column, 130 kg on the arm and 150 kg on the forearm, and the rated load centre distance is 270 mm in Lxy and 240 mm in Lz.

How is the robot mounted and how much floor space is needed?

The KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA mounts on the floor only, on a footprint of 830 mm × 830 mm with the S934 hole pattern; the mounting face may be inclined by up to 5°.

Is IP65 sufficient for a foundry or washdown area?

The series arm and in-line wrist are IP65 to IEC 60529, which covers dust and water jets. For hot castings and heavy fouling, the KR QUANTEC extra range is also available in F and F-HP versions with additional heat and dirt protection.

Which controller and cables are supplied?

The robot runs on the KR C4 controller, transformer designation KR210R2700 EXTRA C4 FLR, with motor and data cables available in 7 m, 15 m, 25 m, 35 m and 50 m lengths at a minimum bending radius of 5 × D.

What accuracy and speed can be expected at full load?

Pose repeatability is ±0.06 mm to ISO 9283. At rated payload the KUKA KR 210 R2700 EXTRA runs 123 °/s on A1, 115 °/s on A2, 112 °/s on A3, 179 °/s on A4, 172 °/s on A5 and 219 °/s on A6.

How does it differ from the KR 150 R2700 extra and KR 180 R2500 extra?

All three share the 2,700 mm class geometry and IP65 protection, but the KR 210 R2700 EXTRA carries 210 kg where the KR 150 R2700 extra is rated 150 kg, and the KR 180 R2500 extra trades reach for payload with 180 kg at 2,500 mm.

What should be checked before installation?

Confirm the floor load capacity for a 1,068 kg arm plus foundation, the anchor set for the S934 hole pattern, the 5° inclination limit, and an operating temperature between +10 °C and +55 °C with preheating below +10 °C.
