KUKA Robotics

KUKA KR QUANTEC PA is a high-payload palletising robot offering up to 300 kg capacity, 3102 mm reach, and KUKA.SafeOperation for zone-based collaborative safety in logistics and food production.

KR QUANTEC PA’s parallel kinematics palletising arm achieves cycle times under 10 seconds per layer, handling mixed-SKU pallet building at rates that outpace dedicated palletising machines. KUKA.SafeOperation software monitors joint angles, Cartesian positions, and speed in real time, enabling human-supervised material delivery to the robot cell without full perimeter guarding. The robot’s Ethernet-based KR C5 controller connects to MES systems for order-driven palletising pattern selection and pallet tracking. Built-in energy recovery from deceleration reduces electricity costs in high-cycle applications. Long-reach variants serve beverage, confectionery, and e-commerce distribution centres.
