Hey there,

First of all congrats for your initiative, awesome way to give new life to this machines. 

Regarding your questions:

1- I've targeted a second hand KUKA KR150 + KRC1 + Teach pendant included for $5k. Is a good choice for the field that I'm trying to get in?

1) As Johannes said try a KR C2 ed05 and you will be much better, C2 will give harder headaches...
    For the robot KR150 is perfect, however you could try KR90 series there are some configurations with equivalent work envelope.
 

2- I'd like to know much space I'll need to create the workcell.

2) Depending on the space available, 5mx5m is OK, perhaps using a room corner could a good choice in order to save some money on fences.
    By the way, mind the security before is too late. physical fences, light curtains or other.
   

3- There is any website where you can learn how to set up from 0 your Robot?

3)Well you can try from the manuals, do not know any website... more than that you need experience.
   Here is the best i know: http://supportwop.com/IntegrationRobot/content/service.htm

   However there will be a lot of troubles that only someone with experience, give a quick solution.
   Think of hiring a robot technician or engineer on freelance to help with start-up   


4- At first it is necessary to buy a turntable? It's ok to split big parts and them join them between?

4)Depending on the volume and budget ... However at first maybe is better and quicker to start without it ยด


5- Which brands of spindles are recommend to buy?

5)HSD


6-What kind of tools extra would you recommend to have?

6)An extra pair of the ones you will use more often ;)


Keep us updated on your quest, will be glad to help,

Victor
