KUKA KR 3 AGILUS

The KR 3 AGILUS is KUKA's smallest six-axis arm, framed as a compact, high-speed unit for small-parts assembly. It handles a 3 kg payload across a 541 mm reach, which sizes it for light work in tight cells. KUKA introduced the model in 2016.

It's aimed at fast cycle times on light payloads, which fits assembly and pick-and-place stations. Its 0.02 mm repeatability backs the precise placement those jobs ask for. The same steadiness carries into dispensing on small components.

The arm has a mass of 26.5 kg and mounts in Floor, Ceiling, and Wall orientations. Its small footprint suits crowded cells, and the mounting options let it sit on shared fixtures. It runs on the KR C4 compact controller.

Because the parts are light, the end-effector is usually a small gripper or a dispensing tool kept within the 3 kg limit. Teaching that tool with an accurate tool-center-point keeps placement consistent as the arm works its work-envelope.

Its payload and reach keep it to small-parts work rather than heavier handling. The body carries an IP40 rating. Within those limits, it's set up for quick, repeatable cycles on light components.

The standout figure is that 0.02 mm repeatability, tight enough to place small components accurately shift after shift. On a 3 kg arm reaching 541 mm, that precision is what earns it a place in fine assembly cells.
