Head to head
KUKA KR 3 AGILUS vs KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus)
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Compact high speed arm for small parts assembly
Fast small robot for high-speed handling.
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus) carries more, 6 kg to the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS's 3 kg, and the KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus) reaches farther, 901 mm to 541 mm. If precision drives the job, the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.02 mm. Both run the KR C4 compact controller, so programming, spare parts, and operator familiarity carry across either way. Both are aimed at assembly, with the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS stretching to small parts handling and dispensing and the KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus) to material handling and machine tending.
- Very fast cycle times for light payloads
