Clean, precise arm for assembly and dispensing
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the Staubli TX2-60L carries more, 3.7 kg to the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS's 3 kg, and the Staubli TX2-60L reaches farther, 920 mm to 541 mm. They run different controllers, the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS on the KR C4 compact and the Staubli TX2-60L on the CS9, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. Both are aimed at assembly and dispensing, with the KUKA KR 3 AGILUS stretching to small parts handling and pick and place and the Staubli TX2-60L to machine tending and packaging.
