FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the KUKA KR 10 R1420 cost? +

The KUKA KR 10 R1420 price depends on the used or refurbished unit, controller, condition and included automation equipment because the exact R1420 is no longer a current catalogue model. A current new project should normally compare the KR 10 R1440-2, which offers a 10 kg payload, 1,440 mm reach and current KR C5 controller compatibility. A displayed arm price or used-market figure is not the final cost of a productive robot system. Buyers may also need a controller, teach pendant, end effector, dress pack, pedestal, guarding, safety equipment, software, integration, programming, shipping, taxes, commissioning, training, warranty and spare parts.

Before comparing offers, confirm the exact generation, reach, controller, environmental version, included equipment and support route. The better buying question is: what is included, what is excluded, and who guarantees the completed application?

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 pricing or a system review through Anton Robots before approving a budget.

Where can I buy the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

You can request used or refurbished sourcing for the KUKA KR 10 R1420 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers verify the exact robot, legitimate commercial route and complete automation package. The original R1420 appears in KUKA application history, while the current KR CYBERTECH nano portfolio uses the KR 10 R1440-2 designation.

Before buying or importing a unit, confirm the full model code, generation, controller, software, payload data, delivery country, warranty, spare parts and local service. A family name, old brochure or secondary-market listing does not always identify the same mechanical arm or supported controller generation. Professional buyers should compare the complete cell and integration responsibility rather than choosing only the lowest robot price. For medical, collaborative or used equipment, also verify the applicable certification and risk-assessment requirements.

To start, request KUKA KR 10 R1420 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.

Where can I find a KUKA KR 10 R1420 for sale? +

You may find a KUKA KR 10 R1420 for sale through used-robot dealers, integrators, factory disposals and specialist marketplaces. Finding a KUKA KR 10 R1420 for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is current, new, used, refurbished, incomplete, controller-only, arm-only or unsupported outside its original region. Confirm whether the offer includes the matching KR C4-era controller, smartPAD, cable set, software, backups and a powered condition report.

A useful comparison should cover the exact model code, serial number, manufacturing year, operating hours, controller, teach pendant, cables, mastering status, service history, software licences, warranty and available parts. For used industrial robots, require a powered inspection and confirm that the selected integrator can recommission the system safely.

If you are looking for a KUKA KR 10 R1420, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robots in the same category.

Can I get a quote for the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

Yes. You can request a KR 10 R1420 used-system review or current-successor quote through Anton Robots. A useful quotation should identify the exact robot and controller, end effector, payload and inertia assumptions, mounting structure, safety system, application software, fixtures, integration, commissioning, training and acceptance criteria. The proposal should distinguish the legacy arm from the current KR 10 R1440-2 and identify compatibility with the existing cell, tools and programs.

Buyers should provide the destination country, workpiece, tool, required reach, cycle time, environment, process, production schedule and any existing machines or fieldbus systems. That information allows the supplier to verify load data and determine whether the proposed configuration is technically suitable. The quote should state who owns programming, risk assessment, documentation and production acceptance.

Anton Robots can help compare the KUKA KR 10 R1420 against other relevant robots.

What is included when you buy the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

A typical KUKA KR 10 R1420 package may include the six-axis arm, compatible controller, smartPAD, robot cables, software, backups and selected cell equipment. The exact contents vary by country, seller, controller generation, configuration and product condition, so buyers should request a written list:

  • KR 10 R1420 robot arm
  • Compatible KUKA controller and smartPAD
  • Robot and power cable set
  • System software, licences and backups
  • End effector, dress pack or process tool
  • Pedestal, guarding and safety equipment
  • Condition inspection, mastering and recommissioning
  • Freight, warranty and integration support

Used packages vary widely, and an arm separated from its controller or system backup may require costly recommissioning. A robot arm alone does not create a working automation cell. Tooling, guarding, fixtures, software, machine interfaces, safety validation and production testing can equal or exceed the hardware cost. For used equipment, mastering data, backups, cables and compatible software are especially important.

You can request an itemised KUKA KR 10 R1420 offer or availability review through Anton Robots before committing.

What are the payload and reach of the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

The KR 10 R1420 has a 10 kg nominal payload and approximately 1,420 mm of reach. The compact six-axis format was developed for small-component handling, tending, inspection, laser work and other low-payload automation. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. The 10 kg includes the gripper, brackets, cables and workpiece, while centre of gravity and wrist inertia can reduce usable performance.

Before purchase or integration, verify the complete load, centre of gravity, inertia, tool centre point, required poses, obstacles and cycle time. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. It is strongest when the full tool-and-part package remains comfortably inside the load limits.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Is the KUKA KR 10 R1420 still a current model? +

The exact KR 10 R1420 is a previous-generation model. KUKA’s current KR CYBERTECH nano range lists the KR 10 R1440-2 rather than the original R1420 designation. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. A legacy model can remain productive for years, but controller, software and spare-parts availability differ from the current generation.

Before purchase or integration, verify the serial number, manufacturing year, controller, system software, service status, parts and official successor. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Treat it as an installed-base or used-equipment purchase rather than a normal new catalogue order.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

What is the replacement for the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

The closest current KUKA successor is the KR 10 R1440-2 in the KR CYBERTECH nano family. The current model carries 10 kg, reaches 1,440 mm, provides ±0.04 mm repeatability and supports KR C5-family controllers. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. A successor is not automatically a drop-in mechanical or software replacement for the older arm.

Before purchase or integration, verify base pattern, workspace, flange, cables, controller, programs, safety, fixtures, cycle time and revalidation effort. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. A migration study should compare replacement work with refurbishing the existing system.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

What applications suit the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

The robot suits machine tending, handling, inspection, laser processing, assembly, dispensing and light palletizing. KUKA has documented the R1420 in laser-system loading, measurement, surface processing and palletizing installations. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Process suitability depends on tool mass, forces, dust, heat, accuracy and the environmental version of the exact robot.

Before purchase or integration, verify the process, workpiece, tool, force, environment, reach, path accuracy, cycle time and safety concept. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. It is a versatile low-payload industrial arm rather than a specialised welding or collaborative robot.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Can the KUKA KR 10 R1420 be mounted on a wall or ceiling? +

The KR CYBERTECH nano architecture supports floor, wall, ceiling and angled installation. Flexible mounting helps integrate the compact arm around machines and dense production cells. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. The exact legacy variant, load data and cable routing must be validated for the selected orientation.

Before purchase or integration, verify the serial-specific manual, mounting orientation, pedestal stiffness, anchor design, load data, dress pack and maintenance access. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Mounting flexibility is valuable only when the structure and load calculation are engineered correctly.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

How accurate is the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

The R1420 belongs to a precision-focused low-payload family, but the exact repeatability should be confirmed from the serial-specific datasheet. The current successor family is specified at ±0.04 mm repeatability and was developed as an accuracy upgrade over earlier models. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Robot repeatability is not absolute cell accuracy and does not include fixture, tool, thermal, calibration or vision errors.

Before purchase or integration, verify repeatability, path accuracy, mastering, calibration, tool data, fixture stability and the actual process tolerance. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Run a process capability test when tolerance is commercially critical.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Should I buy a used KR 10 R1420 or a new KR 10 R1440-2? +

Choose the used R1420 for compatibility and low acquisition cost; choose the R1440-2 for a new supported project. The newer robot adds current controller compatibility, documented specifications and a clearer future service route. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. A cheap legacy arm can become expensive after controller, cable, mastering, software and integration work.

Before purchase or integration, verify installed-cell compatibility, purchase price, refurbishment, controller, parts, energy, cycle, warranty and ten-year support. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Compare total installed and lifecycle cost rather than the robot-arm price alone.

You can request KUKA KR 10 R1420 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Can the KUKA KR 10 R1420 be shipped internationally? +

A verified KR 10 R1420 can be shipped internationally as used industrial equipment. Delivery depends on the destination country, product status, freight method, export controls, customs, electrical standards, controller configuration and local service coverage. Confirm controller voltage, export and customs requirements, industrial packing, local integrator capability and availability of legacy parts.

Before ordering, confirm who acts as importer of record, whether the controller and software are supported in the destination and who will install, master, commission and validate the robot. Industrial arms require suitable lifting, packaging, foundation planning and protection against transit damage. Medical and collaborative systems can also involve additional regulatory and application-specific responsibilities.

You can request international availability for the KUKA KR 10 R1420 through Anton Robots so the complete route can be checked. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, medical programme, or production deployment.

Is the KUKA KR 10 R1420 in stock and how long does delivery take? +

KUKA KR 10 R1420 availability and delivery time can change according to the exact variant, controller, production allocation, seller inventory, refurbishment work and integration scope. Availability depends on secondary-market inventory and refurbishment rather than current KUKA production. A robot appearing online should not automatically be treated as a complete locally stocked system.

Before committing to a production date, ask whether the quoted arm is built to order, physically in stock, used, refurbished or only subject to manufacturer confirmation. Lead time can also be affected by tooling, safety equipment, fixtures, software, freight, customs, commissioning and factory acceptance testing. You can request current KUKA KR 10 R1420 availability through Anton Robots.

Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, medical programme, or production deployment. The selected supplier should record the final configuration and acceptance criteria in the purchase documentation before the system is commissioned.

What warranty and support should I check for the KUKA KR 10 R1420? +

Before buying the KUKA KR 10 R1420, confirm the warranty or seller guarantee, covered components, controller and software entitlement, exclusions, service territory, parts availability and repair process. Require written coverage for motors, gearboxes, encoders, controller, teach pendant, cables and mastering, plus clarity on obsolete components. Ask these questions:

  • Is the arm new, manufacturer-refurbished, integrator-refurbished, or sold as-is?
  • Who supports the controller, drives, motors, encoders, cables and teach pendant?
  • Are mastering, backups, software licences and safety options included?
  • What response time and spare-parts commitment applies to production failures?
  • Who performs installation, risk assessment and application acceptance?
  • How long will the exact generation remain serviceable in the destination country?

Lifecycle support can be more important than the initial hardware price. Contact Anton Robots to review the package before purchase. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, medical programme, or production deployment.

Is the KUKA KR 10 R1420 worth buying? +

The KUKA KR 10 R1420 is worth considering if you need direct compatibility with an installed R1420 cell or can obtain a properly inspected system at a compelling total cost. Its strongest value comes from its compact 10 kg architecture, approximately 1.42 m reach and proven use in tending, laser and handling applications.

However, the purchase only makes sense when the exact model, payload, reach, controller, environment and support match the application. For a new greenfield cell, the current KR 10 R1440-2 normally provides a clearer software, parts, controller and long-term support path. Buyers should compare complete installed cost, cycle time, expected uptime, energy, maintenance, integration risk and currently supported alternatives. For a production project, define measurable acceptance criteria before approving the cell rather than selecting a robot only by brand or nominal payload.
