The heavy-duty robot KUKA KR 500 Fortec-2 was developed for precise handling in industry and can move workpieces with payloads of up to 1102 lb (500 kg) with a range of up to 146 inches (3700 mm).
The extremely torsion-resistant design combined with powerful drives enables precise and quick handling of heavy, large-format components with high moments of inertia.

The robot offers maximum performance in the smallest space and is equipped for a wide range of applications, from battery handling to mega and giga casting.

The KR 500 Fortec-2 stands for unbeatable and unbridled power in a compact design.
Its appearance unmistakably shows the concentrated energy and performance.

It looks expressive, extremely agile and, despite his enormous physical characteristics, radiates the light-footedness of a wiry athlete.

Organically designed, powerful components give the KR 500 Fortec-2 a lively appearance and show the muscles with which the robot achieves peak performance.

Flowing shape transitions withstand the enormous flow of force and the extreme physical dynamic properties.

Thanks to its low energy consumption, including state-of-the-art drive technology and the latest software and controller technology, the second life-capable industrial robot with a long service life and reduced footprint offers a climate-friendly overall robotics package.
