KUKA Robotics has extended its robot product offering with new robots for welding, cutting and measuring applications. The new robot model are designed for tasks requiring high speed accuracy including welding, cutting and measuring applications. The robots' speed and accuracy will allow manufacturers to increases cost-effectiveness of a welding cell by reducing scrap in applications such as laser cutting. The robots have a payload capacity of up to 100 kg and reaches up to 3000 mm and despite their size and reach are extremely accurate a path repeatability of approximately 0.1 mm.

The new robots will be offered in 3 models. The KUKA KR 100 HA robot is the basic model with a reach of 2.600 millimeters and payload capacity of 100 kilograms. The KUKA KR 100 L90 HA is an extended model having a reach of 2.800 millimeters, an additional arm extension of 200 millimeters and a new payload capacity of 90 kilograms. Finally, the KUKA KR 100 L80 HA model has a reach of 3.000 millimeters, an additional arm extension of 400 millimeters and a payload capacity of 80 kilograms.
