Kawasaki (kawasakirobotics.com) has come out with the RS007N and RS007L, two 6-axis vertically articulated robots with a maximum payload capacity of 7 kg and different reach. These are the latest additions to the company’s general-purpose R series line of small-to-medium payload (3-80 kg) robots ideal for a wide range of applications including packing, material handling and machine tending.
The RS007N and RS007L robots offer the operational advantages of the R series robots but with a redesigned arm structure and main-unit weight reductions. By redesigning the arm structure and adjusting the acceleration rates in accordance with load weights and robot positioning, the two models offer consistently optimized performance by significantly reducing cycle times. These enhancements also result in the fastest operating speeds in these robots' class (12,100 mm/s) along with increased working ranges.
