Industrial robots like the KUKA YouBot and KR180 R3200 PA are widely used in automation, manufacturing, and material handling. Understanding their joint limits is crucial for optimizing performance, ensuring safety, and preventing mechanical failures.
✔ KUKA YouBot joint limits (5-DOF robotic arm)
✔ KR180 R3200 PA joint ranges (5-axis industrial robot)
✔ Key differences between these robotic systems
✔ Applications and best practices for operation
The KUKA YouBot is a compact, mobile manipulator with 5 degrees of freedom (DOF), designed for research, education, and lightweight industrial tasks.
| Joint | Movement Type | Range (Degrees) |
|---|---|---|
| Joint 1 (Base Rotation) | Rotational | ±169° |
| Joint 2 (Shoulder Flexion) | Rotational | ±90° |
| Joint 3 (Elbow Flexion) | Rotational | ±90° |
| Joint 4 (Wrist Rotation) | Rotational | ±169° |
| Joint 5 (Gripper Rotation) | Rotational | ±104.5° |
Key Notes:
The YouBot has soft and hard limits to prevent damage.
Exceeding these limits can cause motor strain or mechanical failure.
Ideal for pick-and-place, light assembly, and educational robotics.
The KR180 R3200 PA is a heavy-duty 5-axis industrial robot designed for high payloads (180 kg) and precision tasks like palletizing, welding, and machine tending.
| Joint | Movement Type | Range (Degrees) |
|---|---|---|
| Axis 1 (Base Rotation) | Rotational | ±185° |
| Axis 2 (Arm Forward/Backward) | Rotational | -40° to +85° |
| Axis 3 (Arm Up/Down) | Rotational | -138° to +80° |
| Axis 4 (Wrist Rotation) | Rotational | ±350° |
| Axis 5 (Wrist Bend) | Rotational | ±130° |
Key Notes:
Designed for high-speed, heavy-duty automation.
Higher payload capacity than the YouBot (180 kg vs. ~2 kg).
Wider range in Axis 4 (wrist rotation) for flexible positioning.
| Feature | KUKA YouBot | KR180 R3200 PA |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Mobile manipulator (lightweight) | Industrial robot (heavy-duty) |
| Degrees of Freedom (DOF) | 5 | 5 |
| Max Payload | ~2 kg | 180 kg |
| Joint Speed | Moderate | High-speed |
| Applications | Research, education, light tasks | Palletizing, welding, heavy automation |
✅ Use KUKA’s proprietary software (KUKA Sunrise.OS, KUKA.WorkVisual) for motion planning.
✅ Implement soft limits to prevent accidental over-rotation.
✅ Regularly calibrate joints to maintain accuracy.
✅ Monitor torque and temperature to avoid motor burnout.
Advantage:
| Features | This series of robot is suitable for palletizing industry. Max.Range is 3195mm. If your pallet size is 1000mm*1200mm,the robot can cover up to 6 pallets. Just like simulation describes. The other advantage is robot cycle time. Up to stacking 800 bags one hour. So if your application is palletizing. We suggest you select this series robot. |
| Service | We supply 3d model, foundation and flange dimensions of related robot. Supply training video to fresh customer. The video include of how to mastering,how to connect the cable,how to programming and so on. If you have any problem, call us anytime or sent email to us. |
| Robot Maintains | The robot we suggest maintains every one year or 10000 hours. the main job is exchange oil, fans,UPS and so on. If the robot working in terrible environment, just like low temperature or wet environment. So such case we suggest half year or 5000 hours to do maintains. |
