Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the KCP2 compatible with KUKA KR C3 or KR C4 controllers?
A: No. The KCP2 is designed exclusively for the KR C2 platform. KR C3 uses the KCP3; KR C4 uses the smartPAD. These are not interchangeable.
Q: Can I use a KCP2 from a different robot model on my KR C2?
A: Yes, provided both controllers are KR C2 generation. The KCP2 is universal across all KR C2-based robot arms.
Q: What KSS software version does the KCP2 support?
A: The KCP2 supports KUKA System Software KSS 4.x through KSS 5.x — the standard versions for KR C2 controllers.
Q: Do you supply the connection cable separately?
A: Yes. KCP2 pendant cables are available in 10 m and 20 m lengths. Contact us to add a cable to your order.
Q: Is this a new or refurbished unit?
A: Units are sourced as tested-good surplus or refurbished. Condition is clearly stated on each listing. New OEM units can be quoted on request.
