Is the KUKA 00-291-556-C5 compatible with all KRC4 controllers?

Yes. The 00-291-556-C5 smartPAD is the standard teach pendant for the KUKA KRC4 controller family, including KRC4, KRC4 compact, and KRC4 smallsize variants.

Can this pendant be used with older KUKA KRC2 controllers?

No. The smartPAD (00-291-556-C5) is designed exclusively for KRC4. KRC2 controllers use a different pendant interface (KUKA KCP2).

Do you supply new or refurbished units?

We supply both new OEM units and professionally inspected surplus units depending on availability. Condition is clearly stated in the quotation.

What is the typical lead time for international orders?

Standard lead time is 3–7 business days for in-stock items. For sourced items, lead time is confirmed at quotation stage.

Can you provide a certificate of origin or other export documents?

Description

KUKA 00-291-556-C5 Teach Pendant – KUKA smartPAD for KRC4 Robot Controller

When a KUKA robot’s teach pendant fails on the production floor, everything stops. Programming, jogging, fault diagnosis, and safety override — all of it depends on this single human-machine interface. Without a functioning KUKA 00-291-556-C5, your robotic cell is offline, your line is down, and every minute of downtime translates directly into lost output and escalating maintenance costs. No substitute, no workaround — the smartPAD is the operator’s only window into the robot’s world.

The KUKA 00-291-556-C5 is the OEM smartPAD teach pendant designed specifically for the KRC4 robot controller generation — KUKA’s flagship controller platform deployed across automotive, electronics, logistics, and heavy manufacturing worldwide. Within the KRC4 ecosystem, this pendant represents the definitive operator interface: a 8.4-inch color touchscreen, integrated enabling device, emergency stop, and full KUKA System Software (KSS) compatibility. It is the standard against which all third-party alternatives are measured, and the component that system integrators specify by part number in every KRC4-based cell design.
