The verdict

On paper these two are close, 220 kg against 210 kg and 2701 mm against 2696 mm of reach, near enough that the spec sheet alone will not decide it. They run different controllers, the Comau NJ-220 on the C5G and the KUKA KR 210 R2700 (Quantec) on the KR C4, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the Comau NJ-220 lists Ceiling mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at material handling, with the Comau NJ-220 stretching to machine tending and palletizing and the KUKA KR 210 R2700 (Quantec) to spot welding.
