Overview
• Base frame
• Electrical installations
Every axis contains multiple sensors that provide signals for robot control
(e.g. position control and impedance control) and that are also used as a
protective function for the robot. Every axis is thus monitored by sensors:
axis range sensors ensure that the permissible axis range is adhered to,
torque sensors ensure that the permissible axis loads are not exceeded,
and temperature sensors monitor the thermal limit values of the electron-
ics.
The Commander is fastened to axis 6 together with the ISO flange and
performs the rotational motions of A6. Axis 6 is a rotational axis.
The Commander serves as a universal interface that enables external
tools to be connected. The robot can be guided, operated and program-
med in a controlled manner using the handle on the Commander.
The Commander consists of the following components:
• External interface A6
• LED status indicator
• Back key
• Handle
• Enabling switch
• Rotary encoder

Wrist
Arm
The arm is connected to the link arm via gear unit A3 and links the in-line
wrist with the link arm. It houses motor A3 and performs the rotational
motion of axis 3.
Link arm
The link arm is the assembly located between the rotating column and the
arm and performs the rotational motion of axis 2. It is connected to adja-
cent structural components via gear units A2 and A3. Axis 2 is a jointed
axis.
In order to achieve the different length increments of the robot variants,
the link arm is available in two lengths. The TPC is mounted in the link
arm and the cable set has intermediate connections there.
Rotating column
The rotating column houses the motor of axis 2. The rotational motion of
axis 1 is performed by the rotating column. This is screwed to the base
frame via the gear unit of axis 1 and is driven by motor A1 in the base
frame.
Base frame
The base frame is the base of the robot. Interface A1 is located at the
rear of the base frame. It constitutes the interface for the connecting ca-
bles between the robot, the controller and the energy supply system.
Electrical installations
The electrical installations include all the motor and data cables for the
motors of axes 1 to 6, as well as the connections for the internal energy
supply system. All connections are pluggable. The electrical installations
also include the TPC, which is integrated into the robot. The connectors
for the motor and data cables are mounted on the robot base frame. The
connecting cables from the robot controller are connected here by means
of connectors. The electrical installations also include a protective circuit.
Options
The robot can, for example, be equipped with the following options. The
option is described in separate documentation.

Personnel
Personnel includes:
Safety
• System integrator
• Operators, subdivided into:
‒ Start-up, maintenance and service personnel
‒ Operating personnel
‒ Cleaning personnel
System integrator
The industrial robot is safely integrated into a complete system by the sys-
tem integrator.
The system integrator is responsible for the following tasks:
Operators
Depending on the robot variant, the axis ranges of the main and wrist ax-
es of the manipulator are partially limited by mechanical end stops.
Additional mechanical end stops can be installed on the external axes.
WARNING
Danger to life and limb following collision with obstacle
If the manipulator or an external axis hits an obstruction or a mechani-
cal end stop or mechanical axis limitation, the manipulator can no
longer be operated safely. Death, injuries or damage to property may re-
sult.
• Put manipulator out of operation.
• KUKA must be consulted before it is put back into operation.
Description
The following options may be available for moving the manipulator without
drive energy after an accident or malfunction:
• Release device (optional)
The release device can be used for the main axis drive motors and,
depending on the robot variant, also for the wrist axis drive motors.
Safety
• Brake release device (option)
The brake release device is designed for robot variants whose motors
are not freely accessible.
• Moving the wrist axes directly by hand
There is no release device available for the wrist axes of variants in
the low payload category. This is not necessary because the wrist ax-
es can be moved directly by hand.
Information about the options available for the various robot models and
about how to use them can be found in the assembly and operating in-
structions for the robot or can be requested from the manufacturer.
NOTICE
Damage to property due to moving the manipulator without drive
energy
Moving the manipulator without drive energy can damage the motor
brakes of the axes concerned.
• Only move the manipulator without drive energy in emergencies,
e.g. for rescuing persons.
• Perform brake test.
• The motor must be replaced if the brake has been damaged.
The industrial robot may only be used in perfect technical condition in ac-
cordance with its intended use and only by safety-conscious persons. Op-
erator errors can result in personal injury and damage to property.
It is important to be prepared for possible movements of the industrial ro-
bot even after the robot controller has been switched off and locked out.
Incorrect installation (e.g. overload) or mechanical defects (e.g. brake de-
fect) can cause the manipulator or external axes to sag. If work is to be
carried out on a switched-off industrial robot, the manipulator and external
axes must first be moved into a position in which they are unable to move
on their own, whether the payload is mounted or not. If this is not possi-
means.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to non-operational safety functions or exter-
nal safeguards
In the absence of operational safety functions or safeguards, the indus-
trial robot can cause death, severe injuries or damage to property.
• If safety functions or safeguards are dismantled or deactivated, do
not operate the industrial robot.
DANGER
Danger to life and limb of persons under the robot arm
Sagging or falling parts can cause death or serious injuries. This applies
at all times, e.g. also for assembly tasks or with the controller switched
off.
• Never loiter under the robot arm.
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot motors
The motors reach temperatures during operation which can cause
burns.
• Avoid contact.
• Take appropriate safety precautions, e.g. wear protective gloves.
Implants
WARNING
Danger to life due to malfunction of implants caused by motors
and brakes
Electric motors and brakes generate electric and magnetic fields. The
fields can cause malfunctions in active implants, e.g. pacemakers.
• Affected persons must maintain a minimum distance of 300 mm
from motors and brakes. This applies to both energized and deener-
gized motors and brakes.
KCP/smartPAD
The user must ensure that the industrial robot is only operated with the
KCP/smartPAD by authorized persons.
If more than one KCP/smartPAD is used in the overall system, it must be
ensured that each device is unambiguously assigned to the corresponding
industrial robot. They must not be interchanged.
WARNING
Danger to life due to disconnected smartPAD/KCP
If a smartPAD/KCP is disconnected, its EMERGENCY STOP device is
not operational. There is a risk of connected and disconnected smart-
PADs/KCPs being interchanged. Death, injuries or damage to property
may result.
• Remove the disconnected smartPAD/KCP from the system immedi-
ately.
• Store the disconnected smartPAD/KCP out of sight and reach of
personnel working on the industrial robot.
Safety
External keyboard, external mouse
An external keyboard and/or external mouse may only be used if the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
Modifications
Faults
In the case of faults on the industrial robot, the following safety measures
must be implemented immediately:
• Switch off the robot controller and secure it (e.g. with a padlock) to
prevent unauthorized persons from switching it on again.
• Indicate the fault by means of a label with a corresponding warning
(tagout).
• Keep a record of the faults.
Carry out a functional test after the fault has been rectified.
3.5.2 Transportation
Manipulator
Robot controller
The prescribed transport position of the external axis (e.g. KUKA linear
unit, turn-tilt table, positioner) must be observed. Transportation must be
carried out in accordance with the operating instructions or assembly in-
structions of the external axis.
Before starting up systems and devices for the first time, a check must be
carried out to ensure that the systems and devices are complete and op-
erational, that they can be operated safely and that any damage is detec-
ted.
The valid national or regional work safety regulations must be observed
for this check. The correct functioning of all safety circuits must also be
tested.
Changing default passwords
The KUKA System Software is supplied with default passwords for the
user groups. If the passwords are not changed, this enables unauthor-
ized persons to log on.
• Before start-up, change the passwords for the user groups.
• Only communicate the passwords to authorized personnel.
WARNING
Danger to life and limb due to incorrectly assigned cables
The robot controller is preconfigured for the specific industrial robot. The
manipulator and other components can receive incorrect data if they are
connected to a different robot controller. Death, severe injuries or dam-
age to property may result.
• Only connect the manipulator to the corresponding robot controller.
NOTICE
Damage to property due to condensation
If the internal cabinet temperature of the robot controller differs greatly
from the ambient temperature, condensation can form. This may result
in damage to property.
• Wait until the internal cabinet temperature has adapted to the ambi-
ent temperature in order to avoid condensation.
Function test
The following tests must be carried out before start-up and recommission-
ing:
It must be ensured that:
Safety
• There is no damage to the robot that could be attributed to external
forces. Example: Dents or abrasion that could be caused by an impact
or collision.
WARNING
Danger to life and limb resulting from external forces
The external application of force, such as an impact or a collision,
can cause non-visible damage. For example, it can lead to a gradu-
al loss of drive power from the motor, resulting in unintended move-
ments of the manipulator.
Death, severe injuries or damage to property may result from non-
visible damage.
‒ Check the robot for damage that could have been caused by ex-
ternal forces, e.g. dents or abrasion of paintwork.
Check the motor and counterbalancing system particularly care-
fully.
(Motor inspection not relevant for robots with internal motors.)
‒ In the case of damage, the affected components must be ex-
changed.
General
Manual mode is the mode for setup work. Setup work is all the tasks that
have to be carried out on the industrial robot to enable automatic opera-
tion. Setup work includes:
• Jog mode
• Teaching
• Programming
• Program verification
The following must be taken into consideration in manual mode:
• New or modified programs must always be tested first in Manual Re-
duced Velocity mode (T1).
• The manipulator, tooling or external axes (optional) must never touch
or project beyond the safety fence.
• Workpieces, tooling and other objects must not become jammed as a
result of the industrial robot motion, nor must they lead to
short-circuits or be liable to fall off.
• All setup work must be carried out, where possible, from outside the
safeguarded area.
Setup work in T1
Setup work in T2
Safety
3.5.6 Maintenance and repair
After maintenance and repair work, checks must be carried out to ensure
the required safety level. The valid national or regional work safety regula-
tions must be observed for this check. The correct functioning of all safety
functions must also be tested.
The purpose of maintenance and repair work is to ensure that the system
is kept operational or, in the event of a fault, to return the system to an
operational state. Repair work includes troubleshooting in addition to the
actual repair itself.
The following safety measures must be carried out when working on the
industrial robot:
• Carry out work outside the danger zone. If work inside the danger
zone is necessary, the user must define additional safety measures to
ensure the safe protection of personnel.
• Switch off the industrial robot and secure it (e.g. with a padlock) to
prevent it from being switched on again. If it is necessary to carry out
work with the robot controller switched on, the user must define addi-
tional safety measures to ensure the safe protection of personnel.
• If it is necessary to carry out work with the robot controller switched
on, this may only be done in operating mode T1.
• Label the system with a sign indicating that work is in progress. This
sign must remain in place, even during temporary interruptions to the
work.
• The EMERGENCY STOP devices must remain active. If safety func-
tions or safeguards are deactivated during maintenance or repair work,
they must be reactivated immediately after the work is completed.
DANGER
Danger to life and limb due to live parts
The robot system must be disconnected from the mains power supply
prior to work on live parts. It is not sufficient to trigger an EMERGENCY
STOP or safety stop, because parts remain live. Death or severe inju-
ries may result.
• Before commencing work on live parts, turn off the main switch and
secure it against being switched on again.
If the controller variant in question does not have a main switch
(e.g. KR C5 micro), turn off the device switch then disconnect the
power cable and secure it so it cannot be reconnected.
• Then check to ensure that the system is deenergized.
• Inform the individuals involved that the robot controller is switched
off. (e.g. by affixing a warning sign)
Robot controller
Even when the robot controller is switched off, parts connected to periph-
eral devices may still carry voltage. The external power sources must
therefore be switched off if work is to be carried out on the robot control-
ler.
The ESD regulations must be adhered to when working on components in
the robot controller.
ponents for several minutes after the robot controller has been switched
off! To prevent life-threatening injuries, no work may be carried out on the
industrial robot in this time.
On robot controllers with transformers, the transformers must be discon-
nected before working on components in the robot controller.
Water and dust must be prevented from entering the robot controller.
Counterbalancing system
Hazardous substances
The following safety measures must be carried out when handling hazard-
ous substances:
• Avoid prolonged and repeated intensive contact with the skin.
• Avoid breathing in oil spray or vapors.
• Clean skin and apply skin cream.

NOTICE
This loading curve corresponds to the maximum load capacity. Both val-
ues (payload and mass moment of inertia) must be checked in all ca-
ses. Exceeding this capacity will reduce the service life of the robot and
overload the motors and the gears; in any such case KUKA Service
must be consulted beforehand.
The values determined here are necessary for planning the robot appli-
cation. For commissioning the robot, additional input data are required
in accordance with the operating and programming instructions of the
System Software.
The mass inertia must be verified using KUKA Load. It is imperative for
the load data to be entered in the robot controller!
Number of threads 8
Screw grade 12.9
Locating element 3H7
The mounting flange is depicted with axis 6 in the zero position.
Flange loads
Due to the motion of the payload (e.g. tool) mounted on the robot, forces
and torques act on the mounting flange. These forces and torques depend
on the motion profile as well as the mass, load center of gravity and mass
moment of inertia of the payload.
The specified values refer to nominal payloads and do not include any
safety factors. It is imperative for the load data to be entered in the robot
controller. For this, the output flange (optional) must be taken into consid-
eration as part of the load. The interface between the load and the robot
is the mechanical interface on the Commander.
The robot controller takes the payload into consideration during path plan-
ning. A reduced payload does not necessarily result in lower forces and
torques.
The values are guide values determined by means of trial and simulation
and refer to the most heavily loaded machine in the robot family. The ac-
tual forces and torques may differ due to internal and external influences
on the mounting flange or a different point of application. It is therefore
advisable to determine the exact forces and torques where necessary on
site under the real conditions of the actual robot application.
The operating values may occur permanently in the normal motion profile.
It is advisable to rate the tool for its fatigue strength.
The EMERGENCY STOP values may arise in the event of an Emergency
Stop situation of the robot. As these should only occur very rarely during
the service life of the robot, a static strength verification is usually suffi-
cient.
Technical data
Fig. 4-9: Flange loads
Supplementary load
Depending on the payload (e.g. tool), supplementary load and the robot’s
own mass (weight), the motion of the robot generates forces and torques
which are transmitted to the foundation.
The specified values refer to nominal payloads and do not include any
safety factors. The actual forces and torques depend on the motion profile
as well as the mass, load center of gravity and mass moment of inertia of
the payload. It is imperative for the load data to be entered in the robot
controller. The robot controller takes the payload into consideration during
path planning.
Supplementary loads on A1 (rotating column) and A2 (link arm) are not
taken into consideration in the calculation of the foundation load. These
must be taken into account in the vertical force (Fv).
The foundation must be able to permanently withstand the forces and tor-
ques generated during normal operation.
The EMERGENCY STOP values only rarely occur during the service life

Danger zone
Entering the danger zone of the robot is prohibited if the robot
is in operation or ready for operation. Risk of injury!
• The data are given for the main axes A1, A2 and A3. The main axes
are the axes with the greatest deflection.
• Superposed axis motions can result in longer stopping distances.
• Stopping distances and stopping times in accordance with DIN EN
ISO 10218-1, Annex B.
• Stop categories:
‒ Stop category 0 » STOP 0
‒ Stop category 1 » STOP 1
according to IEC 60204-1
• The values specified for Stop 0 are guide values determined by
means of tests and simulation. They are average values which con-
form to the requirements of DIN EN ISO 10218-1. The actual stopping
distances and stopping times may differ due to internal and external
influences on the braking torque. It is therefore advisable to determine
the exact stopping distances and stopping times where necessary un-
der the real conditions of the actual robot application.
• Measurement method
The stopping distances were measured using the robot-internal meas-
urement method.
• The wear on the brakes varies depending on the operating mode, ro-
bot application and the number of STOP 0 stops triggered. It is there-
fore advisable to check the stopping distance at least once a year.
Measurement method for determining the STOP 0 stopping distances and stopping
times according to ISO 10218-1 with KR C5
System configuration
• Axes that are not moved are positioned in such a way that the maxi-
mum distance of the load center of gravity from the moved axis is
reached.
• Use the maximum motion radius of the axis to achieve as high a ve-
locity as possible.
• Trigger point at maximum velocity
Measurement method
• The stopping distance is the angle covered by the axis from the
Brake closes signal (WDI motor status bit 2) to complete standstill.
• The stopping time is the time that elapses from the Brake closes sig-
nal (WDI motor status bit 2) until the robot comes to a complete
standstill.
The table shows the stopping distances and stopping times after a
STOP 0 (category 0 stop) is triggered. The values refer to the following
configuration:
• Extension l = 100%
• Program override POV = 100%
• Mass m = maximum load (rated load + supplementary load on arm)

Planning
5 Planning
In the planning and design phase, care must be taken regarding the func-
tions or applications to be executed by the kinematic system. The follow-
ing conditions can lead to premature wear. They necessitate shorter main-
tenance intervals and/or earlier exchange of components. In addition, the
permissible operating parameters specified in the technical data must be
taken into account and observed during planning.
• Continuous operation near temperature limits
• Continuous operation in abrasive environments
• Continuous operation close to the performance limits, e.g. high rpm of
an axis
• High duty cycle of individual axes
• Monotonous motion profiles, e.g. short, frequently recurring axis mo-
tions
• Static axis positions, e.g. continuous vertical position of a wrist axis
• External forces (process forces) acting on the robot
If one or more of these conditions arise during operation of the kinematic
system, KUKA Deutschland GmbH must be consulted.
If the robot reaches its corresponding operation limit or if it is operated
near the limit for a period of time, the built-in monitoring functions come
into effect and the robot is automatically switched off.
This protective function can limit the availability of the robot system.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage to property due to conductive dirt or
condensation
If the manipulator is operated in an environment with conductive dirt or
condensation, this can lead to uncontrolled electrical connections inside
the manipulator. Injuries or damage to property may result.
• The manipulator may only be operated in environments without con-
ductive dirt.
• Avoid humidity and condensation.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage to property due to operation in non-ap-
proved environment
If the manipulator is operated in an environment with a higher degree of
fouling and possibly with formation of condensation, this can lead to un-
controlled electrical connections inside the manipulator. These ambient
conditions correspond to degree of fouling 3 or 4.
Non-compliance can result in injury or damage to property.
• It must be ensured that the installation site is protected against con-
ductive fouling and condensation.

WARNING
Danger to life and limb due to incorrect mounting
If not mounted correctly, the kinematic system may topple over or fall
down. Death, severe injury or damage to property may result.
• Only install the kinematic system using the mounting base or ma-
chine frame mounting.
• The stability must be ensured by the integrator or start-up techni-
cian.

Dimensioned drawing
The following illustration (>>> Fig. 5-2) provides all the necessary informa-
tion on the mounting base, together with the required foundation data. The
specified foundation dimensions refer to the safe transmission of the foun-

Description
Description
The machine frame mounting assembly is used when the robot is fas-
tened on a steel structure, a booster frame (pedestal) or a KUKA linear
unit. This assembly is also used if the robot is installed on the ceiling. It
must be ensured that the substructure is able to withstand safely the
forces occurring during operation (foundation loads). The following dia-
gram contains all the necessary information that must be observed when
preparing the mounting surface (>>> Fig. 5-4).
The machine frame mounting assembly consists of:
• Locating pins
• Hexagon bolts with conical spring washers
The substructure used by the customer must be designed in such a way
that the forces generated (mounting base load, maximum load
(>>> 4 "Technical data" Page 31)) are safely transmitted via the screw
connection and the necessary stiffness is ensured. The specified surface
values and tightening torques must be observed.
NOTICE
The material of the substructure must be selected so that the stripping
safety is ensured (e.g. S355J2G3).

Connecting cables
The connecting cables comprise all the cables for transferring energy and
signals between the robot and the robot controller. They are connected on
the robot side with connectors at interface A1. Connection to the controller
is always the same, irrespective of the controller variant.
Planning
ard. The maximum length of the connecting cables must not exceed
25 m. The connecting cables may be extended a maximum of 1 time, i.e.
a maximum of 2 connecting cables may be combined with each other.
Thus if the robot is operated on a linear unit which has its own energy
supply chain, this cable must also be taken into account.
For the connecting cables, an additional ground conductor is always re-
quired to provide a low-resistance connection between the robot and the
control cabinet in accordance with DIN EN 60204. The ground conductor
is connected via ring cable lugs. The threaded bolts for connecting the
two ground conductors are located on the base frame of the robot.
The following points must be observed when planning and routing the
connecting cables:
• The bending radius for fixed routing must not be less than 50 mm for
motor cables and 30 mm for control cables.
• Protect cables against exposure to mechanical stress.
• Route the cables without mechanical stress – no tensile forces on the
connectors
• Cables are only to be installed indoors.
• Observe the permissible temperature range (fixed installation) of
263 K (-10 °C) to 318 K (+45 °C).
• Route the motor cables and the data cables separately in metal ducts;
if necessary, additional measures must be taken to ensure electromag-
netic compatibility (EMC).
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to tripping hazards
Improper installation of cables can cause tripping hazards. Injuries or
damage to property may result.
• The connecting cables must be installed in such a way (e.g. cable
ducts) as to prevent tripping hazards.
• Potential tripping hazards must be marked accordingly.
Interface A1
Interface A1 is located at the rear of the base frame. The connections for
the motor and data cables are shown in the following illustration.
The cable set contains an integrated energy supply system. The connec-
tions of the energy supply system are located at interface plate A1 and in
the Commander (A6).
