The verdict

The specs separate them here: the KUKA KR 300 R2500 carries more, 300 kg to the Comau NJ-220's 220 kg. If precision drives the job, the KUKA KR 300 R2500 holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.06 mm. They run different controllers, the Comau NJ-220 on the C5G and the KUKA KR 300 R2500 on the KR C4, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. Both are aimed at material handling and machine tending, with the KUKA KR 300 R2500 to press tending.
