Head to head
FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S vs KUKA KR 3 AGILUS
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Compact short-arm robot for dense benchtop cells
Compact high speed arm for small parts assembly
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S carries more, 4 kg to the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS's 3 kg. If precision drives the job, the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.01 mm. They run different controllers, the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S on the R-30iB Plus and the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS on the KR C4 compact, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S lists Inverted and Angle mounting while the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS lists Ceiling and Wall mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at assembly and dispensing, with the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/4S stretching to machine tending and packaging and the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS to small parts handling and pick and place.
