Heavy-duty robot for industrial applications

Effortlessly manage ultra-heavy components with precision and speed, enhancing your production line’s efficiency and flexibility in handling complex and substantial loads in demanding environments.

Handles and Assembles Heavy Industrial Components

The KR 1000 titan from KUKA Robotics is a formidable six-axis industrial robot designed for handling some of the heaviest components in manufacturing environments. This robot excels in transporting massive items like engine blocks, glass panels, steel beams, and aircraft components, leveraging an open kinematic system for precise and quick handling over distances up to 6.5 meters. Its high payload capacity of up to 1.3 tonnes makes it ideal for applications in automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction, among others.

Equipped with advanced dynamic acceleration capabilities, the KR 1000 titan optimizes cycle times, achieving seamless integration with existing production lines without needing foundation modifications. Whether it is used for handling, palletizing, or spot welding, its flexibility allows integration with linear axes to further enhance operational efficiency.

Offered in several versions, including a Foundry model with improved reach-to-payload ratios and a palletizing variant, it meets various environmental demands with protection classes up to IP 67. The KR 1000 titan is controlled via KR C4 or KR C5 systems, offering options for automation and remote monitoring. Maintenance is streamlined with low interference contours, and its robust construction ensures longevity in challenging industrial settings.
