Unveiled in May 2007, the
Kuka KR 1000 titan defies limitation. The strength of this 6-axis heavyweight earned it a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
With a payload of 1000 kg and maximum reach of 3202mm, the
KR 1000 can handle tasks that normally take two robots. Its
work envelope covers 78 cubic meters.
Nine motors, together generating as much power as a mid-sized car, run the
KR 1000. Not only did
Kuka employ a completely
new drive design for this model, but the steel frame can handle a static torque of 60,000 Nm (compare to a typical sports car's maximum torque of 600 Nm).
Hailed as the strongest robot in the field, the
KR 1000 is ideal for heavy lifting applications that used to take multiple machines or cranes. The
KR 1000 provides a powerful, high-tech solution for automotive,
foundry and building materials settings.
