KUKA KR 22 R1610-2 industrial robot with KR C5-2 controller

KUKA KR 22 R1610-2 with KR C5-2 controller is a low-payload 6-axis industrial robot from the KR CYBERTECH family, offering a rated payload of 22 kg and a maximum reach of 1612 mm.

KR CYBERTECH robots provide a versatile low-payload platform for handling and path-controlled industrial processes. The family combines long reach, a slim arm and flexible installation positions. It is designed to cover tasks ranging from fast component transfer to accurate machining, finishing and application processes.

Within the family, the KR 22 R1610-2 configuration is positioned for applications that require 22 kg of payload capacity and a 1612 mm working reach. Its nominal positioning repeatability is ±0.04 mm. The final usable payload depends on the complete tool and workpiece load case, including center of gravity, inertia and any supplementary loads on the arm.

The wide choice of reaches and payloads helps engineers balance working envelope, tool mass and cycle time. Foundry, food-compatible, arc and console derivatives should be treated as application-specific configurations rather than assumed from the standard model.

Controller compatibility: KUKA’s current product data lists this exact model with KR C5-2 support. The controller field is recorded as KR C5 / KR C5-2 so that previous-generation and new-generation controller options are not confused. Software packages, safety functions, fieldbus interfaces and operating-system release must still be confirmed for the final delivered configuration.

Typical applications

• machine tending
• handling
• assembly
• deburring
• polishing
• dispensing and inspection

For a Eurobots project, this robot can be considered for new automation cells, replacement studies, robot-track installations, process trials and technical pre-selection. Final engineering should be based on the exact KUKA article number, load diagram, mounting position, environmental version and controller software package.
