Industrial HMI Replacement Solution – KUKA 00-291-556 C5 | KR C5 Controller Series
Where This Product Is Used
The KUKA 00-291-556 C5 Touch Screen Glass & Protective Film is a direct OEM-specification replacement component for the KUKA KR C5 robot controller series. It is deployed across a wide range of industrial automation environments where KUKA robotic arms are integrated into production lines:
- Automotive Body-in-White (BIW) Lines – Spot welding, seam sealing, and panel handling cells using KUKA KR AGILUS, KR QUANTEC, and KR FORTEC series robots.
- Aerospace Component Manufacturing – Precision drilling, riveting, and surface finishing stations requiring continuous HMI uptime.
- Electronics & Semiconductor Assembly – SMT pick-and-place and PCB handling lines where operator interface reliability is critical.
- Metal Fabrication & Stamping – Press-tending and material handling cells with high-vibration environments that accelerate screen wear.
- Food & Beverage Packaging – Palletizing and case-packing lines operating in washdown-adjacent zones.
- Logistics & Warehouse Automation – Goods-to-person and depalletizing systems running 24/7 shift operations.
Whenever the KR C5 controller’s touchscreen becomes scratched, cracked, or unresponsive, this part restores full operator interface functionality without replacing the entire teach pendant or controller cabinet.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Zero Downtime Risk – A cracked or unresponsive KR C5 HMI halts the entire robot cell. Stocking this part eliminates unplanned downtime caused by screen failure.
- OEM Part Number Traceability – Part number 00-291-556 maps directly to KUKA’s BOM, ensuring compatibility with KR C5 controller firmware and mechanical mounting.
- Protective Film Included – The bundled protective film extends screen service life in environments with metal swarf, coolant mist, or operator glove abrasion.
- Faster Repair vs. Full Pendant Replacement – Screen-level repair costs a fraction of a full SmartPAD or controller replacement, preserving capital budget.
- Validated Fit – Sourced from KUKA-authorized supply chains; dimensions and connector pinouts match factory specifications.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is part number 00-291-556 compatible with the KR C4 controller?
A: No. The C5 revision is specific to the KR C5 controller generation. KR C4 controllers use a different HMI assembly. Please verify your controller generation before ordering.
Q: Can I replace the touch screen glass without replacing the full SmartPAD?
A: Yes. The 00-291-556 C5 is a screen-level replacement. A qualified service technician can perform the swap in approximately 30–60 minutes with standard Torx tooling.
Q: Does the protective film need to be applied separately?
A: The film is included in the assembly kit. Application instructions are provided. We recommend applying the film immediately after glass installation to prevent contamination.
Q: What is the warranty on this part?
A: Konmask.com provides a 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects. Damage caused by improper installation or environmental factors is excluded.
Q: Do you offer expedited shipping for emergency breakdowns?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com or call +0086 19859288691 to arrange priority dispatch.
