KR QUANTEC
The KR QUANTEC portfolio of high payload robots delivers success with the best reach and payload in this category. With an all-purpose design, it is built to work in virtually any market segment, from automotive to foundry to medical – and everything in between.
Optimized portfolio for maximum flexibility and low total cost of ownership
The KR QUANTEC portfolio was developed with KUKA’s decades-long experience in automation as a base. The result: a reliable, versatile and efficient high-quality solution for your production environment. Customers benefit from the uniquely wide range of possible applications using KR QUANTEC robots that deliver striking performance, cost-effectiveness and flexibility.
A slimmer modular system supplies flexible robots that are well-matched to their tasks, have fast delivery times and provide a low total cost of ownership – largely through optimized maintenance and a reduced number of spare parts. The robot portfolio also offers the capability to upgrade payloads in the field and deliver ideal process quality through Motion Modes. These software add-ons make the KR QUANTEC a highly flexible machine and secure your future investment in production operations.

Advantages
Best-in-class
When its innovative feature set is taken as a whole, the KR QUANTEC series presents a robot generation that sets a new standard for both conventional and digitized production environments. The result not only includes technological feature innovations, but also delivers long-term benefits such as simplification of commissioning, ease of maintenance and process optimization of the system.
Process-optimized motion modes
The KR QUANTEC series will be the world’s first industrial robot range to have digital motion modes. These are software add-ons which ensure optimal robot motion for specific applications. The ‘path mode’ allows for CP motion with greater accuracy and precision while the ‘dynamic mode’ increases speed and thus reduces cycle time at bottlenecks on production lines.
Maximum flexibility
The KR QUANTEC series is distinguished by its optimized portfolio, as well as maximized performance and advanced design. Streamlined contours, extended permissible ambient conditions and an extremely small footprint ensure utmost flexibility in operation as well as in cell and system planning. The wide working range in front of and behind the machine offers improved accessibility in a large variety of different applications. The energy supply concept is set apart by its durability and optimized availability.
Sustainably low total cost of ownership
The KR QUANTEC not only provides outstanding production efficiency, but also a cost effective start-up and maintenance concept. With industry-leading mean time between failures values and a reduced number of components thanks to its modular design, the series sets new market standards for TCO. Features contributing to a minimization of downtimes and maintenance requirements include the innovative cabling and energy supply concept. As a result, the KR QUANTEC series provides large reductions in running costs.
ESD protected
The robot is protected as standard against uncontrolled electrostatic charging or discharging and is thus equipped for the safe handling of sensitive electronic components.
From standard configuration to a process-optimized machine with digital motion modes
With software plug-ins, the KR QUANTEC series offers the ad hoc option of optimizing the robot's performance in processes or process sub-steps.
– Performance Mode: combines speed and precision and can be deployed universally for a wide range of applications.
– Path Mode: increases the precision of continuous-path motion at both high and low path velocities.
– Dynamic Mode: reduces cycle times and gives the KR QUANTEC more speed. Decrease cycle times by around 10%.
Flexible and highly reliable: The new KR QUANTEC offers a secure investment for your production.
The new KR QUANTEC: Our champion goes digital
Innovative features, low total cost of ownership and unbeatable technology – the new generation of the versatile KR QUANTEC robot stands out as a highly-flexible machine that offers a secure investment for your production.
With its reduced disruptive contours, more streamlined wrist and smaller footprint, the KR QUANTEC series simplifies engineering even in complex applications. Furthermore, the optimized contours of the innovative energy supply system also ensures easier simulation and more cost-effective cell planning. The short stopping distances of the robots also make it easier to deliver compact cell and system designs, and enable flexibility in system planning and implementation.
Streamlined contours
Foundry variant: Optimal forming, casting and processing in wet, dusty and hot working environments
