KUKA KL5000 Linear track
Strength, precision, and automated maintenance.
The KL 5000 expands the robot’s working envelope across large installations, enabling efficient handling of heavy tools, fixtures, or components. Integrated as an external axis, it requires no additional controller, allowing seamless integration into existing KUKA robotic systems.
Optimized for floor-mounted installations, the KL 5000 delivers stable motion and high repeatability even at maximum payload, making it an excellent choice for heavy material handling, large-scale palletizing, automotive body construction, and other high-load industrial processes.
Key Benefits
Extreme payload capability
Supports up to 5,000 kg, enabling safe and precise movement of very heavy robotic systems, tools, and workpieces.
Automated lubrication system
The integrated KUKA Lubricate Kit ensures continuous, automatic lubrication of critical components, reducing wear and maintenance downtime.
High positional accuracy
Repeatability of ±0.02 mm ensures reliable and precise positioning, even under full load.
Extended reach
With travel lengths of over 30 meters, the KL 5000 allows a single robot to operate across multiple workstations or process areas.
Scalable multi-robot operation
Up to four carriages can be operated on a single linear axis, supporting complex, high-throughput production layouts.
Industrial-grade reliability
Built for long-term, continuous operation in heavy industrial environments, combining robustness, stability, and serviceability.
The KL 5000 is KUKA’s ultra-heavy-duty linear axis engineered for robotic applications requiring exceptional payload capacity of up to 5,000 kg. Designed as an additional external axis for high-payload robot systems, the KL 5000 is ideally suited for large tooling, massive workpieces, and demanding industrial environments where strength, stability, and precision are critical.
A key feature of the KL 5000 is the KUKA Lubricate Kit, which fully automates lubrication of the toothed rack and running rail. This significantly reduces maintenance effort, ensures consistent performance, and extends service intervals—making the KL 5000 especially suitable for continuous, high-duty operation.
With long travel lengths and high positioning accuracy, the KL 5000 enables robots to service multiple stations along a production line while maintaining repeatable, reliable motion under extreme loads.
