»The seRies 2000 shelf-MoUnTed RoboTs: The ModUlAR spAce-sAveRs
The Series 2000 shelf-mounted robots stand for greater flexibility and a longer downward reach: with power-
ful motors, high-performance gear units and amplified servo drive, they achieve high output with payloads of 
up to 210 kg and a work envelope of up to 8 m in diameter. With installation on either the floor or a machine, 
the series is versatile, space-saving and ideally suited to challenging removal processes. 
Thanks to their modular design, three arm length variants and large product portfolio, the Series 2000  
shelf-mounted robots can be quickly upgraded or converted. For cleanrooms or environments with a high 
 degree of fouling and high temperatures, the special variants Cleanroom (CR) and Foundry (F) are available. 
The advantages: a high degree of planning reliability and security of investment.
»exTReMelY ModUlAR – exTReMelY expAndAble
The Series 2000 shelf-mounted robots are available in three 
arm length variants and have a large product portfolio with a 
 total of 31 variants. Thanks to their modular design, the robots 
can also be quickly retrofitted for increased payload or reach. 
There’s no more laborious, cost-intensive implementation of new 
systems – and production can start in record time. The advan-
tages: flexible production and rapid commissioning.

High speed and maximum output: the high installed motor 
 capacity and high-torque gear units in all axes make the Series 
2000 shelf-mounted robots highly dynamic and extremely 
 powerful. Added to this is the precision control, which gives 
these high-performers a repeatability of ±0.06 mm. The result: 
better manufacturing quality, fewer rejects, and thus greater 
 efficiency for your production. The advantages: shorter  cycle 
times and higher quality.

Designed for maximum cost-effectiveness: with a low robot 
base and axis 2 located 400 mm further forward, the shelf-
mounted robots are perfect for working from above, for exam-
ple for efficient removal of castings or plastic parts. Thanks  
to their low weight, they can also be installed directly on the 
 machine, thereby saving space and enabling them to reach far 
into the machine with great speed. The advantages: reduced 
space requirements and improved process optimization.

KUKA offers you a comprehensive range of software. In addi-
tion to expandable system software and simulation programs 
for system design, we also provide you with specific application 
software, such as KUKA.PlastTech: the software coordinates 
and optimizes the work process of robots and injection molding 
machines – thereby reducing the cycle time for production of 
the parts. The advantages: maximum ease of operation 
and major time savings.
KUKA shelf-mounted robots are ideal for unloading parts from injection  
molding machines.
The low base is specially optimized for working downwards.
