3. Key Differences: KUKA YouBot vs. KR 240 PA
| Feature | KUKA YouBot | KR 240 PA |
| Type | Mobile manipulator | Industrial robotic arm |
| Mobility | Omnidirectional wheels | Fixed installation |
| Max Speed | 0.8 m/s (wheels) | 120°/s (arm joints) |
| Payload | 10 kg (total system) | 240 kg |
| Applications | Research, education, lightweight logistics | Palletizing, heavy material handling, welding |
4. Best Practices for Optimal Performance
For KUKA YouBot:
✅ Avoid overloading the mobile base (max 10 kg).
✅ Operate on smooth surfaces for best wheel performance.
✅ Monitor battery life to prevent sudden shutdowns.
For KR 240 PA:
✅ Regularly lubricate joints to maintain speed & precision.
✅ Use KUKA.WorkVisual for optimal path planning.
✅ Check torque limits to avoid motor strain.
Advantage:
| 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. |
