KR 500 FORTEC

The KR 500 FORTEC is our versatile heavy-duty robot that is suitable for a wide range of applications. For example, the Machine Tool variant is predestined for milling applications in the high payload range, while the Foundry variant is perfectly suited to heavy-duty tasks in the foundry.

The exceptional product quality that the KR 500 FORTEC delivers in milling and other applications is based on two fundamental features that inspired the robot’s name: strength and proven technology. Reaches of up to 3,326 millimeters enable large workpieces to be processed, even in confined cells. Thanks to its streamlined design with minimized interference contours, the robot provides you with an unusually large workspace and the maximum possible payload distances.
