Flexibility
as a mainspring for developments
Further developments in the automation of modern production lines is
part of the development of Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
In 1969, Kawasaki Heavy Industries produced the rst Japanese-made
industrial robot. Since then, Kawasaki has consistently asserted its
pioneering role in the robotics industry. The experience that is gathered
benets users and is consistently used to improve the Kawasaki range of
products. For example, in the development of our small to medium-sized
robots in the “F Series”.
Each manipulator in the “F Series” is a logically designed workhorse that
combines a high working speed with a lightweight and slim arm construction. In addition, the modular design of the manipulators offers a high
exibility to optimise the reach or payload.
The robot arm of the “F Series”, as a unit with the current controller from
the “D Series” – gives Kawasaki customers the necessary exibility to re-
spond to permanent changes in working conditions with clear-cut concepts.
Reduced cycle time
A weight-optimised construction, the use of high-speed motors and high-efciency gears permit an
optimisation of the maximum speed and acceleration.
Compact work cell layout
More space means higher costs. The small base sizes and slim arm prole (integrated user signals)
of the “F Series” robot arm allows a space-saving construction of working cells.
Arm conguration tailored to system requirements
Simple hardware and software modications allow an optimisation of “F Series” robots in terms of
reach or payload. A subsequent adjustment of the robot to different tasks poses no problems and can
be carried out at low cost.
Pre-dened congurations, for example for welding, clean rooms or DownWash also permit a sim-
plied adaptation to specic customer requirements.
