KUKA SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robots are characterized by high speed and repeat accuracy. With the KR SCARA in the 20 kg payload class already available and the 60 kg payload class to be launched soon, KUKA is further expanding its portfolio of four-axis robots.
These latest additions offer an impressive combination of performance and precision. Compliance with EU CE certification regulations underlines their high quality and safety standards, making them attractive to a global market.
KR 20 opens up new work areas with a compact design
The high-precision planetary gearing of the A1 axis of the KR 20 increases rigidity and enables more stable operation. This is especially valuable in applications requiring high precision. The three available ranges of 800 mm, 1000 mm and 1200 mm of the horizontal articulated robot offer flexibility for different application requirements.
In particular, the 1200 mm reach opens up new possibilities in work areas that were previously not covered by our SCARA robot series. The compact design of the SCARA robot, with a payload of up to 20 kg, is another advantage, facilitating integration into existing production systems. Due to the cable connection plate on top of the A2 axis, installation time and complexity are reduced. It is available as a standard, CR and IP54 version for clean room applications, making it suitable for use in the electronics industry, for example.
KR 60 with 60 Kg payload
With the KR 60, the KUKA SCARA family welcomes another new member. With its increased payload capacity and outstanding performance in terms of rigidity and speed, this industrial robot is ready to tackle even heavy-load tasks.
It offers a reach of up to 1200 mm and a remarkable payload-to-weight ratio of 1:2. Designed for handling bulky and heavy battery cells or for heavy-duty palletizing in other manufacturing industries, the four-axis robot is able to handle any type of difficult situation with ease. KR SCARA robots are easy to install and stand out due to a cost-effective design. They work reliably without the need for a complex steel structure or flat referencing and leveling.
Five payload classes for maximum flexibility
In addition to the new models with payloads of up to 20 and 60 kg, we also have SCARA robots with payloads of 6, 12 and 13 kg (only available as HO version) in our portfolio. All variants are characterized by high speed, precision and repeatability. This makes them indispensable helpers in numerous applications, from the automotive industry to the pharmaceutical industry. Below you will find the most important applications of our SCARA robots.
