KUKA Robotics introduces the world's heaviest palletizing robots in the Indian Market
New palletizing robots launched to meet potential demand from FMCG, logistics & F&B industry
Tweet-- The leadingindustrial robot supplier in India, KUKA Robotics(India) PrivateLimited, launched its new heavy payloads industrial robots in India. Theserobots will address the potential demand from FMCG, logistics and food &beverage industry in the country. These heavy duty palletizing Robots KR 1000 1300 titan PA & KR700 PA, that can safelyload goods of 1300 kg & 700kg respectively. KUKA Robotics already suppliespalletizing robots internationally to numerous renowned clients.
Palletizingrobots are very useful in loading and wrapping big and heavy goods & aretypically used by FMCG, logistics and consumer goods companies. These robotswill help Indian manufactures to increase productivity & quality, leadingto increased profitability.
The growth ofIndustrial robots is gathering pace in India as FMCG,Logistics & Food & beverage industries increase their operations in thecountry.

With theIndian economy expected to grow at the rate of 6-8%, the $14 billion logisticindustry is poised for a quantum leap thereby providing a huge potential forpalletizing robots.
Mr. Raj SinghRathee, Managing Director of KUKA Robotics (India) PrivateLimited said, “We are delighted to bring in the world’s heaviest palletizingrobot into India. With animproving economy and increased demand for goods, there is a huge potential fordesigning products to improve palletizing efficiency in Indian industry. As per our internal researchwe feel that the demand for heavy palletizing robots is likely to grow in India and we feelthat there is a large market for them in the FMCG, logistics and consumer goodsindustry in India.”
KUKA Palletizing Robot
KUKA has probably the world’s widest available range of palletizing robots. Theyare characterized by extremely short cycle times and long reaches, and can beused to implement virtually any customer-specific palletizing solution for apayload range from 40kg to 1,300kg.
The KR 10001300 “titan” PA is the star of the product range: it can lift an impressive1,300 kg; it elegantly handles and palletizes even the heaviest work pieceswith ease. This heavyweight giant is the big brother of the KR1000“titan”, the world’s first robot with a load-bearing capacity of 1,000kg.
Together withits strong network of system partners, KUKA Roboter meets the demand for highoutput rates and efficient palletizing with a convincing package of solutions:all KUKA palletizing robots have a large working envelope and thus allow highstack heights and use of even the largest grippers. Furthermore, short cycletimes and an integrated operator control concept ensure highcost-effectiveness.
