KR IONTEC

Overview

KR IONTEC is a family of flexible industrial robots offering a payload range of 20 to 70-kilogram and described as having the best work envelope in its class. The design supports flexible mounting positions including Angle, Ceiling, Floor and Wall, and the robot is available in compact configurations with a small footprint and an in-line wrist that is waterproof and dustproof with protected motors. The Foundry option expands the usable temperature range from 0° to 55°C. Variants cover a reach/force spectrum up to 0 - 3101 mm (arm length) and specific models include: KR 20 R3100 (Total load 20 kg, Maximum reach 3101 mm, Mounting positions Angle, Ceiling, Floor, Wall, Protection class IP 65, Controller KR C5); KR 25 R3100-2 (Total load 25 kg, Maximum reach 3100 mm, Mounting positions Ceiling, Floor); KR 30 R2100 (Total load 30 kg, Maximum reach 2101 mm, Mounting positions Angle, Ceiling, Floor, Wall, Protection class IP 65, IP 67, Controller KR C5); KR 50 R2500 (Total load 50 kg, Maximum reach 2501 mm); KR 70 R2100 (Total load 70 kg, Maximum reach 2101 mm). Typical protection classes across versions include IP 54, IP 65 and IP 67 and the typical controller is KR C5. Operational and maintenance details specified for KR IONTEC include an oil change interval of 20,000 operating hours, an in-line wrist design without belts, an A1 hollow shaft with a diameter of 119 mm for energy supply, and standard ESD protection. The product description also cites low energy consumption, low operating costs, minimal maintenance requirements, high MTBF (technical availability), convertible payload capacity that can be adjusted on installed robots, 50 percent fewer spare parts than the predecessor model and spare parts availability for 25 years. The KR IONTEC is listed as suitable for Mechanical machining & polishing, Handling, Assembly, Cutting/Separation, Applying / Painting / Glueing, Palletizing/ Packaging, Laser welding & -cutting, Spot welding, Additive manufacturing, 3-D printing, Cleanroom for other areas, Arc welding, Foundry / Increased protection requirements, and Measuring / Inspection. Cleanroom and Food versions are indicated among available environment variants for specific models.
