Overview

• • The KUKA KR16 R2010-2 is a six axis welding robot workstation configured for automotive parts fabrication.
• • It carries a 16 kg rated payload and up to 19.2 kg maximum payload, covering torch, feeder and seam tracking hardware.
• • A 2013 mm reach lets the arm follow seams on both sides of a fixture without re clamping the part.
• • Repeatability of ±0.04 mm keeps the torch on path, which stabilises bead width and penetration.
• • IP65 protection and flexible mounting options suit cells with tight access and varied fixture heights.
• • Torch cleaning and wire feed cycles run inside the robot program, keeping the cell self contained.

Specifications

Advantages

• • A 16 kg tool load accommodates torch, wire feeder and seam tracker in one mounting without derating motion.
• • Repeatability of ±0.04 mm keeps the torch centred on narrow joints, which reduces rework on auto parts.
• • The 2013 mm reach covers both sides of a fixture, cutting re clamping between passes.
• • IP65 protection limits spatter and dust ingress, extending joint life in welding shops.
• • Floor, ceiling and wall mounting options let the robot fit cells where floor space is already used.
• • A 260 kg arm weight suits standard steel frames rather than heavy foundations.
• • A 32.5 m3 workspace volume supports large fixtures within a compact cell footprint.
• • Standard fieldbus interfaces connect to welding power sources and positioners.
• • Torch cleaning and wire feed cycles run inside the robot program, keeping the cell self contained.
• • Fixture interfaces are documented, so new part variants can be added with limited reprogramming.

Applications

• • Welding automotive brackets and chassis components.
• • Seam welding of stamped and formed auto parts.
• • Welding exhaust and structural tube assemblies.
• • Cell work with positioners for long seams.
• • Rework welding where torch access is restricted.
• • Batch production of welded subassemblies for vehicle assembly.
• • Welding seat frames and reinforcement brackets.
• • Repair welding on cast auto parts before machining.

FAQ

• • What is the rated payload? The rated payload is 16 kg, with a maximum payload of 19.2 kg for short term peak loads.
• • How accurate is the torch path? Repeatability is ±0.04 mm under ISO 9283, which holds narrow auto parts seams on path.
• • Can it be mounted overhead? Yes, the robot supports floor, ceiling, wall and any angle mounting.
• • Does it include a welding package? The workstation is configured with welder, torch and seam tracking options against your weld procedure.
• • What is the warranty? A one year warranty applies, with local spare parts and engineering support.
• • Can it be relocated? The base is prepared for standard anchors, so the cell can be moved during line reconfiguration.
