KUKA robotic systems rely on structured numerical identifierscommonly 8-digit or 10-digit part numbers such as 00-130-547or 118674to define hardware assemblies, electronic modules, and mechanical components across controller generations from KRC1 to KRC5.
As KUKA controller architecture evolved from legacy racks to modern real-time control platforms developed, identifying the correct hardware revision, compatibility scope, and spare replacement path has become increasingly complex for maintenance engineers and procurement teams.
This index provides a system-level decoding guide to KUKA part numbers, enabling faster identification of compatible spare parts without navigating multiple OEM manuals.
How KUKA Part Numbers Work
Most KUKA spare parts can be identified using three simple rules:
- 00-xxx-xxx numbers usually indicate major electrical or HMI assemblies.
- Six-digit numbers (118xxx / 12xxxx) often refer to mechanical or auxiliary components.
- Controller generation determines compatibility, even when numbers look similar.
Because of firmware, safety, and bus-communication differences, cross-generation substitution is rarely possible.
Understanding KUKA Part Number Patterns
KUKAs numbering logic reflects component category and production era.
Major Electrical Assemblies
00-xxx-xxx / 00-xxxx-xx
- Teach pendants (KCP / SmartPad)
- Internal signal and motor cables
- Controller PC boards and interface modules
These are the most searched and replaced industrial spare parts.
Mechanical & Auxiliary Components
118xxx / 12xxxx
- Cooling fans
- Mounting hardware
- Specialized internal electronics
Servo Motor Series from Siemens Integration
1FK7 / 1FT7
- Servo motors manufactured by Siemens
- Tuned for KUKA motion-control drive systems
Legacy Controller Components
69-xxx-xxx
- Common in KRC1 and early KRC2 cabinets
- Mostly discontinued or refurbished-only availability

How to Use This Index Effectively
1. Locate the Label:
KUKA labels are usually white with black text and a barcode, found on the side or rear of the component.
2. Focus on the "00-" Number:
This is the most reliable way to search our database.
3. Check Category Pages:
Navigate to specific indexes (Pendants, Drives, or Boards) to find detailed compatibility and wiring notes.

Discontinued KUKA Parts & Modern Replacements
Many KRC1 and KRC2 components are now officially "End of Life" by the OEM.
Available solutions include:
- Certified refurbished boards (load-tested and cleaned)
- SmartPad battery and cable replacements
- Compatible drive repairs and spare units
These options allow operators to extend system life without full controller upgrades.
