Control & Programming
Joint Range of Motion (ROM) & Limits:
| 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.
2. KUKA KR180 R3200 PA Joint Limits (5-Axis Industrial Robot)
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 Range of Motion (ROM) & Limits:
| 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.
3. Key Differences: KUKA YouBot vs. KR180 R3200 PA
| 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 |
4. Best Practices for Operating KUKA Robots Within Joint Limits
✅ 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.

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. |
