Making light work of it all
KUKA’s low payload category from 6 kg to 22 kg
KUKA robots with low payloads demonstrate unique strengths in bonding, sealing,
foaming and all tasks requiring a high path accuracy. In arc welding, KUKA robots
for low payloads boast the best acceleration values on the market.
Even light work such as component testing, small-part assembly or grinding,

polishing, assembly as well as machine loading and unloading is in the best of hands
when performed by KUKA robots of the low payload category. With optimal reach
and payload coverage, this range of robots offers a level of performance that is hard
to beat.
Entrust your automation to high-performance professionals: the KR CYBERTECH

robots. Worldwide, no other portfolio offers a comparable combination of high power
density, compact masses and application-relevant specialization in the low payload
category.
Delivery in three weeks for a high-performance package made to measure –

the KUKA Ready Packs make it happen. Select a model from our range for low
payloads – including a preconfigured controller, teach pendant and software
with accessories based on your requirement profile.
As preconfigured package solutions, the KUKA Ready Packs combine selected,

high-capability KUKA products with short delivery times and the best terms –
all this in service-proven KUKA quality.
