This is a KUKA KR200 L170 COMP – a 6-axis industrial robot from KUKA’s COMP series, available reconditioned and ready for deployment. If you’re looking at used KUKA robots for sale, the KR200 COMP range is one of the most widely used and well-supported platforms in industrial automation.
The L170 variant delivers a 170 kg payload capacity with a 2,600 mm reach. That’s the extended-reach version of the KR200 COMP family – the standard model does 200 kg at 2,400 mm, while the L140 pushes reach to 2,800 mm at 140 kg. So the L170 hits a practical middle ground for applications where you need both a decent working envelope and the ability to handle heavy tooling or parts.
The COMP series is a development of KUKA’s successful S2000 robot platform. The arm is predominantly aluminium construction, which makes it significantly lighter than comparable robots from other manufacturers – roughly half the mass of an equivalent ABB unit. That translates to faster cycle times, lower energy consumption, and less wear on the mounting and foundation. Forklift pockets are built into the base for straightforward positioning on the shop floor. Repeatability is ±0.3 mm.
Applications for the KR200 L170 COMP
The KR200 L170 COMP is a genuine multi-purpose workhorse. Typical applications include palletising and depalletising, spot welding, machine tending, milling, deburring, material handling, and general pick-and-place work. The 170 kg payload handles most standard welding guns, grippers, and tool changers without any issues, and the 2,600 mm reach gives enough working envelope for larger workpieces, pallet stacks, or multi-station cell layouts.
The robot ships with a KRC2 ED05 controller, which is KUKA’s proven PC-based control platform. It supports up to two external axes in the base cabinet (six with a top-mounted expansion), and the modular design makes it straightforward to expand, diagnose, and maintain. Remote servicing via internet connection is also supported if you need offsite troubleshooting.
Why Buy Used KUKA Robots?
A reconditioned KR200 L170 COMP gives you the same performance as a new unit at a significantly lower cost. For manufacturers looking to automate a process, add capacity to an existing cell, or replace an end-of-life robot without the budget for new, used KUKA robots are a well-established route. The COMP series has been in the market long enough that spare parts are readily available, KUKA-trained integrators know the platform inside out, and there’s a strong secondary market for controllers, teach pendants, and cable sets.
