Cautions to be taken to ensure safety

For those persons involved with the operation/service of your system, including Kawasaki Robot, they must
strictly observe all safety regulations at all times. They should carefully read the manuals and other related
safety documents.

Products described in this catalogue are general industrial robots. Therefore, if a customer wishes to use the
Robot for special purposes, which might endanger operators or if the robot has any problems, please contact
us. We will be pleased to help you.

Be careful as photographs illustrated in this catalogue are frequently taken after removing safety fences and
other safety devices stipulated in the safety regulations from the Robot operation system.

Improved cycle times

A weight-optimised construction, the use of high-speed motors and high-efciency gears permit an

optimisation of the maximum speed and acceleration.

Large working range
and low power consumption

The Z Series has a broad working range thanks to the large reach and small blind angle. Axis 1 can
be pivoted around 360° and has mechanical locks. Through the use of the patented hybrid link con-

guration by Kawasaki the power consumption during the robot movements could be reduced.

Space saving and easy installation
through a small foot print

More space means higher costs. The small base sizes and slim arm prole of the Z Series robot arm

allows a space-saving construction of working cells.

The Kawasaki Z-Series high performance robots provide
exibility as well as the ability, at high payloads and long
reach, to suit all applications, including welding, handling,
tending and much more. With twelve different versions,
divided into three distinct design groups the Z-series can
provide the right model for all future applications.

Whether it‘s the “ZX” for oor mounting, the “ZT” for shelf
mounting or the “ZB” as a compact arm, the Z-series can

do it all. All Z-Series robots are powered by the D-Controller,

exible Controller Unit.

Protective congurations IP65, IP67

Protection class IP65 applies for the robot arm and IP67 for the wrist part. This means that the
Z Series can be used without problems in rough working environments.

Convertability

Simple hardware and software modications allow an optimisation of the ZX165U in terms of reach or
payload. A subsequent adjustment of the robot to different tasks poses no problems and can be car-

ried out at low cost
