Owner reviews
A top-tier industrial robot we recommend without hesitation
In our independent assessment, the KUKA KR Cybertech earns 85/100 — an excellent industrial robot.
Its strongest area is reach (100/100), followed by payload (96/100). In practice, long reach.
The main caveat is axes, where it scores 84/100. Specifically, needs guarding.
At €42000, it's priced around the category average. For most buyers in this category, it's one of the best choices you can make.

What’s a cobot vs an industrial robot?
Collaborative robots (cobots) are built to work safely alongside people without guarding; traditional industrial arms are faster but usually need a safety cage.
How precise is it?
See the repeatability spec (in mm). Lower is more precise — most cobots repeat to within ±0.05 mm, easily handling assembly and machine tending.
How hard is it to program?
Modern cobots use drag-to-teach or tablet programming — you guide the arm through positions by hand. Complex jobs may still need an integrator.
