Kuka KR5 Scara robot family from Kuka Robotics Corp. is intended for high speed applications that entail long-reach tasks. When combined with the company’s PC-based control platform, the compact, 4-axis robots create an easy to learn and use, fast, pick-and-place automation system. Family includes 350- and 550-mm reach models capable of handling payloads to 5 kg. Light weight is said to give the robot optimum acceleration and maximum working velocities.
