The M-Series
INTO THE FUTURE
Handling, Welding, Mounting
and Tending are only four of
the countless domains of the
M-Series allrounders.
state-of-the-art robot technology«
An extremely compact and light-weight design
forms the basis for high speeds and rigidity as well
as an enormous reach.
»Your goal is our task«
It was Kawasaki‘s intelligence and exibility which
made them build the most powerful robots in their
class. Combined with a high-end control system,
they reliably meet the demands of the most varied
application elds – now, in the near and far future.
Power
1.
With an enormous amount of torque available at
each axis these machines are the most powerful
robots of the Kawasaki Robot Family. With a payload from 350 to 700 kg and a reach from 2540
up to 3018 mm.
2. Standardisation
The use of interchangeable modular components
in different robot models makes these machines cost
effective in the sense of maintenance and repair.
3. Reliability
The M-Series robots of the Kawasaki family have
over the years had many model upgrades. The end
result is a high stability and robustness under
maximum load proven in both automotive and
general industries.
4. Functions
Allow for the direct connection of grippers without
additional wiring through the robot arm. Additionally
required lines or hoses can be installed at the provided fastening points. The robots of the M-Series
are equipped with signal lines and air hoses integrated in the robot arm.
5. Integration
The basic principal for the design of the Kawasaki
robot family has also been used for the M-Series
development. A small footprint and minimized
interference contour, enables space saving application cells and decrease costs.
