Product Description
Composition of Robot System
Robot arm body, control cabinet, smartPAD-2 teaching pendant, motor/data cable, software, optional accessories.
Structure of Robot Arm Body
Belonging to a 6-axis heavy-duty articulated robot, A4 axis is disabled in palletizing mode, while A5 remains parallel to the installation plane; All models only support ground installation. Main components: Inline Wrist built-in wrist (A4-A5-A6), boom, connecting rod arm, rotating column A1, base frame, hydraulic pneumatic balance weight system (2 diaphragm nitrogen accumulators+hydraulic cylinder, offsetting A2 gravity, belonging to pressure vessel), complete set of electrical components (RDC box, MFH multifunctional junction box, pluggable motor cable).
Special structure of F casting plate: Clean compressed air is continuously introduced into the inner cavity of the robotic arm to establish an overpressure of 0.1 bar, blocking the intrusion of dust, coolant, and water vapor; The wrist is coated with a high-temperature resistant silver reflective layer, and the whole machine is equipped with a clear varnish protective layer, which can withstand short-term 180 ℃ thermal radiation.
Available options: A1/A2/A3 axis limit, brake release device, A1-A3/A3-A6 energy supply drag chain system, release device.
Designated use and prohibition of misuse
Designated use: transportation of fixtures and large workpieces for palletizing; Strictly adhere to environmental conditions and maintenance cycles.
Prohibited behaviors: carrying people, climbing scaffolds; Hyperparameter operation; Lack of safety equipment operation; Outdoor, explosion-proof, radioactive, underground mining; Without the permission of KUKA, drilling and modifying the body directly results in the loss of all warranty.
Safety
Legal liability framework: Mechanical arms are semi-finished products; The system integrator is responsible for overall risk assessment, issuing EC compliance statements, and affixing CE markings, while KUKA provides assembly statements. Unauthorized modification of robots results in loss of the right to claim compensation; The responsibility for damage caused by third-party accessories belongs to the integrator. Balance weight belongs to pressure vessels and is controlled by pressure equipment instructions.
Personnel classification: system integrator, operator, debugging and maintenance personnel, cleaning personnel; All personnel must read the complete safety chapter and possess the corresponding qualifications.
Area Definition
Workplace: Robot's reachable range of motion;
Dangerous area=workspace+stopping distance (including external axis), must be physically fenced for protection.
The body comes with built-in protection: mechanical hard limit; Optional adjustable mechanical shaft limit; Brake release device (optional for non powered mobile robotic arm, limited to emergency rescue); The safety warning nameplate of the entire machine must not be torn off or altered.
After hitting the mechanical hard limit, it is prohibited to continue operating and KUKA evaluation must be contacted.
Safety points for each working condition

After the control cabinet is powered off, the maximum internal high voltage can reach 780V, and it needs to wait for discharge. The arm mechanism must be locked when handling balanced weight pressure vessel operations.
Transportation: Robots must maintain the prescribed transportation posture to avoid impact and vibration.

Summary of Key Parameters for Each Model
The maximum reach radius of the rated load of the model allows for additional load on the boom
KR 1000 1300 titan PA 1300 kg 3202 mm 4690 kg Large arm maximum 100 kg
KR 1000 1300 titan PA-F 1300 kg 3202 mm 4690 kg Maximum boom weight 100 kg
KR 1000 L950 titan PA 950 kg 3601 mm 4740 kg Maximum boom weight 100 kg
KR 1000 L950 titan PA-F 950 kg 3601 mm 4740 kg Maximum boom weight 100 kg
Axis parameters: A1 ± 150 °; A2 ‑130°~+17.5°; A3 +62°~+145°; A5 ±118°; A6 ±350°; Provide the maximum rated load speed for each axis; Zero calibration positions A1=0 °, A2=-90 °, A3=90 °, A4=0 °, A5=0 °, A6=0 °; accompanied by side view and top view working envelope drawings.
Mandatory requirement for load verification: both quality and moment of inertia must be verified simultaneously, using KUKA-Load tool, and load data input into the controller; Each model comes with a complete load curve diagram; Wrist flange specification (M16, 16 10.9 grade screws); Provide flange axial force Fa, radial force Fr, overturning moment Mk, and torque Mg for normal operation and emergency stop conditions. Only the boom allows additional loads; Columns and connecting rod arms are not allowed to have additional loads.
Foundation base load: Each model provides vertical force Fv, horizontal force Fh, overturning moment Mk, A1 axis torsional moment Mr (normal value, maximum value); The structural design must adopt the maximum value, and additional vertical forces need to be added to the arm for additional loads.

STOP0 has a significant impact on robots and can accelerate brake wear, so it should be used as little as possible; Require annual on-site measurement of stopping distance; The actual stopping distance of multi axis composite motion will increase.

Project Planning
Planning risk warning: Long term temperature/power limit operation, high-frequency reciprocating, static holding, and external process forces will accelerate component wear, and maintenance cycles must be shortened. If necessary, consult KUKA.
Two installation schemes on the ground
Concrete foundation scheme with a fixed base;
Installation of steel structure frame (positioning pin+bolt); The steel structure/concrete base must withstand all maximum foundation loads.
Cable and interface planning: Base end motor cable, data cable interface; Cable laying requirements, cables cannot withstand tension, EMC electromagnetic compatibility; Equipotential grounding is necessary.
F casting version: The customer needs to provide clean and dry compressed air to maintain an overpressure of 0.1 bar in the arm cavity.
Transportation
Forced transportation posture: The manual defines the angles of each axis; The robot must maintain its transport posture throughout the entire transportation process, and it is strictly prohibited to deviate from this posture without being fixed to the base.
Handling method: forklift handling (with forklift holes reserved on the base), or lifting with lifting equipment; Prohibition of savage impact; Provide the overall dimensions for transportation of the entire machine.
Startup and Re Debugging
Installation of concrete foundation: positioning pin of bottom plate in place; Robot lifting and positioning; Tighten the bolts diagonally in steps; After the first 100 hours of operation, tighten the anchor bolts again.
