KUKA KR 120 R2700-2

The KR 120 R2700-2 sits in KUKA's QUANTEC family as a heavy six-axis arm built for general industrial handling. It carries a 120 kg payload out to a 2701 mm reach and runs on the KR C4 controller. That payload-to-reach balance is what puts it to work in palletizing and material-handling cells.

Repeatability lands at 0.05 mm, which keeps placement tight across a large work envelope. On machine-tending duty, that consistency matters when the arm returns to the same chuck or fixture cycle after cycle. Six axes give it the wrist articulation to reach into angled machine doors and loading pockets.

This is a big arm: it masses 1069 kg and mounts to the floor. The wide swing radius that comes with its reach means the cell layout needs real space planning around it. Heavier end-of-arm tooling also cuts into the effective payload margin, so gripper weight is worth accounting for early.

For protection, the arm is rated IP65 body / IP65 or IP67 in-line wrist. It also takes on press-tending alongside the palletizing and handling work, backed by the well proven QUANTEC platform. The payload and reach pairing is the reason it slots into so many heavy handling lines.

Choose it when you need 120 kg at long reach on a floor-mounted base with tight 0.05 mm repeatability. If your parts are light or your cell is short on floor space, a smaller arm is the better fit. For high-payload handling out past 2.7 meters, this one is a straightforward pick.
