KUKA LBR iiwa 7 R800

The LBR iiwa 7 R800 is a seven axis collaborative arm built to work next to people on precision assembly. Its joint torque sensing lets it react to contact and settle into delicate insertion work. That seventh axis gives it redundancy, so it can bend around a fixture while holding the tool pose steady.

It carries 7 kg over an 800 mm reach, so it works a compact cell rather than a wide floor span. A 0.1 mm repeatability puts it where small parts have to mate tight and land in the same spot each cycle. Its payload sits below most industrial arms, so heavy lifting stays off its plate.

Floor, ceiling, and wall mounting let integrators drop it beside an operator or hang it over a fixture. It runs on the KUKA Sunrise Cabinet controller and carries an IP54 rating. Operators can teach it by hand guiding, grabbing the arm and walking it through positions.

As a collaborative arm, it's designed for power and force limiting operation, which can support a fenceless cell where the task's risk assessment allows it. It's aimed at machine tending and electronics assembly, so a light machine tending loop sits squarely in its wheelhouse. Site pages for Universal Robots UR16e and Doosan M1013 sit alongside this one for readers weighing options.

Choose it when the job is light, precise assembly beside a person and a 0.1 mm repeatability matters more than raw muscle. The 7 kg payload and 800 mm reach fit benchtop cells and ceiling or wall rigs where space is tight. Teams moving heavier parts or reaching across a long line will want a different arm.
