Kawasaki remain competitive in the industrial robot world

Kawasa­ki Robot­ics’ is a lead­ing sup­pli­er of indus­tri­al robots and automa­tion sys­tems serv­ing a wide range of indus­tries and appli­ca­tions. Their robot pay­loads range from 3 kg to 700 kg, and Kawasa­ki con­sid­ers each cus­tomer care­ful­ly and indi­vid­u­al­ly while devel­op­ing sys­tems to address their needs. If nec­es­sary, Kawasa­ki can design, assem­ble, test, and run off an entire turnkey sys­tem from con­cept to implementation.

Offer­ing around-the-clock pro­duc­tion sup­port, field ser­vice and pro­gram­ming, and main­te­nance pro­grams, Kawasa­ki ensures that the cus­tomer is nev­er alone to fig­ure out their robot­ic system. 

Kawasa­ki offers a vari­ety of robots suit­able for cer­tain appli­ca­tions, and these robots are cat­e­go­rized into ​“series.” The R‑Series of light to medi­um-duty robots are typ­i­cal­ly used for arc weld­ing, dis­pens­ing, seal­ing, mate­r­i­al han­dling and removal, machine tend­ing, assem­bly, inspec­tion, and pack­ag­ing. The R‑Series offers a new light­weight arm com­bined with high-out­put high-rev­o­lu­tion motors ensures high-speed oper­a­tion. The rota­tion range of each axis has been increased, trans­lat­ing to a larg­er usable work area. Built-in pneu­mat­ic lines and inter­nal wiring are standard.

The F‑Series are suit­able for sim­i­lar appli­ca­tions as the R‑Series. The F‑Series is com­prised of 15 dif­fer­ent mod­els, most of which are avail­able in a clean room version.

The Z‑Series is ide­al for fab­ri­ca­tion, press tend­ing, seal­ing, and spot weld­ing. These 6‑axis heavy-duty robots use advanced tech­nol­o­gy for a robust low-main­te­nance design. Pro­duc­tion line effi­cien­cy in auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions can be con­tributed to the Z‑Series.

The M‑Series, high wrist torque robots, are pow­er­ful with pay­load capac­i­ties up to 700 kg. Pay­loads are ful­ly manip­u­lat­ed at high speeds due to the wrist, and this series of robots are the first to uti­lize an advanced link design, elim­i­nat­ing the need for a bulky counterbalance. 

Kawasaki’s Pal­letiz­er Series has indus­try-lead­ing reach, speed, and pay­load, and can han­dle any pal­letiz­ing appli­ca­tion. The pro­gram­ming lan­guage ensures easy and flex­i­ble set-up and programming.

The K‑Series of paint­ing robots is designed to be sim­ple and friend­ly. Sev­en mod­els are avail­able, each explo­sion-proof and suit­able for any paint­ing application.

Final­ly, the Y‑Series robot is an ultra-high speed delta robot with a unique design. This series boasts qual­i­ty and reli­a­bil­i­ty, and is sim­ple to pro­gram and operate.

Kawasa­ki places an empha­sis on cus­tomer ser­vice, but also strives to pro­vide future engi­neers with a bright start. $4.5 mil­lion worth of Kawasa­ki robots were recent­ly donat­ed to SPSU’s fast-grow­ing Mecha­tron­ics Engi­neer­ing program.
