KUKA KR16-2 F-C (FOUNDRY + CELING)

The KUKA KR 16-2 F-C is a versatile and high-precision 6-axis industrial robot, specifically designed for demanding industrial environments. Equipped with the Foundry (F) protection package and a ceiling-mounted configuration, it offers an excellent combination of flexibility, reliability and precision.

With a rated payload of 16 kg and a maximum reach of 1,611 mm, this robot is particularly suitable for handling, machine tending, loading and unloading operations, as well as applications in foundry and metalworking environments.

Foundry Version – Designed for Demanding Environments

The special Foundry version is designed to operate in challenging industrial conditions, where exposure to heat, dust, moisture, aggressive fluids and contaminants can affect standard industrial equipment.

Its protective coating and specially designed wrist configuration provide enhanced resistance to harsh working environments, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing applications.

Ceiling-Mounted Configuration

The ceiling-mounted installation (C) offers additional flexibility when designing robotic work cells.

By installing the robot overhead, manufacturers can:

• Optimize available floor space.

• Improve accessibility to the working area.

• Integrate the robot into existing production lines.

• Perform handling operations from above.

• Optimize machine loading and unloading layouts.

High Precision and Flexibility

With six articulated axes, the KUKA KR 16-2 F-C offers excellent flexibility and freedom of movement.

Its compact design, combined with a working reach of 1,611 mm, makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications requiring accurate and repeatable positioning.

KR C4 Controller

The robot is equipped with the KUKA KR C4 control system, an advanced PC-based automation platform integrating robot control, motion control, logic and safety functions.

The KR C4 offers:

• Advanced robot motion control.

• Flexible programming capabilities.

• Integration with industrial automation systems.

• Communication with PLCs and peripheral equipment.

• Support for coordinated movements and external axes.

• A user-friendly KUKA smartPAD operator interface.

The open architecture of the KR C4 makes it suitable for integration into complex industrial automation systems.

Typical Applications

• Material handling and part transfer.

• Machine tending and machine loading/unloading.
