KUKA KR 340 R3400-2 industrial robot with KR C5-2 controller

KUKA KR 340 R3400-2 with KR C5-2 controller is a heavy-payload 6-axis industrial robot from the KR FORTEC family, offering a rated payload of 340 kg and a maximum reach of 3400 mm.

KR FORTEC robots are designed for demanding heavy-duty handling while maintaining a comparatively compact installation footprint. The family covers high payloads and long reaches with a modular mechanical platform. It is intended for applications where rigidity, availability and low operating cost are as important as nominal lifting capacity.

Within the family, the KR 340 R3400-2 configuration is positioned for applications that require 340 kg of payload capacity and a 3400 mm working reach. Its nominal positioning repeatability is ±0.08 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.

Large tools and workpieces require a complete load-data check rather than a payload-only comparison. Foundation, floor loading, safeguarding, transport access and service clearances should be defined early in the cell design.

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

• heavy component handling
• foundry handling
• machine tending
• press automation
• large-part machining
• high-inertia tooling

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.
