KUKA KR 470 R3200-2 PA industrial robot with KR C5-2 controller

KUKA KR 470 R3200-2 PA with KR C5-2 controller is a five-axis heavy-payload palletizing robot from the KR FORTEC PA family, offering a rated payload of 470 kg and a maximum reach of 3200 mm.

KR FORTEC PA is the heavy-payload palletizing platform for products and complete layers beyond the capacity of conventional end-of-line robots. Its streamlined structure combines long reach with payloads up to 470 kg, enabling high stack heights and heavy grippers without moving to the ultra-heavy legacy palletizer class. The design focuses on cycle performance and operating efficiency.

Within the family, the KR 470 R3200-2 PA configuration is positioned for applications that require 470 kg of payload capacity and a 3200 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.

A realistic load case must include the gripper, product layer, slip sheets and dynamic inertia. Conveyor layout, pallet clearances, safety access and recovery strategy are also important because these robots operate with large moving masses.

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 bag palletizing
• barrel handling
• building-material palletizing
• complete-layer handling
• depalletizing
• high-throughput logistics

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.
