The rotation range of axis 6 on KUKA robots varies by model. Most mass-produced models have a range of ±350°, while some special models can achieve a rotation range of 370°.

 

1. Rotation Range of Typical Common Models

Typical production models such as the KR 5 sixx R850, KR 210 R2700 extra, and KR 60-3 F have a sixth-axis rotation range of ±350°.

 

2. Rotation Characteristics of Special Models

Some models offer a sixth-axis rotation range of 370°, providing 10° more travel than conventional models. In welding applications, this allows movement without dead angles, helping improve weld quality and working efficiency. For end-of-arm tooling or adapter flanges used in such applications, Hansheng Automation can provide custom machining services based on customer drawings, supporting both prototype development and small-batch production.
