New Robot Arm Made for Small to Medium Payloads
At Fabtech, in Booth B-17048, Kawasaki Robotics will feature a new addition to its R series of advanced general-purpose robot arms, the RS013N.
Posted: June 4, 2021
The new RS013N offers a 13-kg payload capacity, wide working range, small footprint, and IP67-classified design.
From Kawasaki Robotics (USA) Inc. (Wixom, MI), the robot is designed with a new arm structure, drive system, and lighter main unit, which enables high speeds and a large working area. Its reach is 1,460 mm, allowing for installation flexibility and for use in a wide variety of applications.
The speed of the RS013N robot results in reduced cycle times and increased productivity. The robot’s internal ethernet wiring enables easy connection to a vision system or other peripheral devices, and its floor, ceiling and wall mount options provide installation flexibility for any layout. The motor has been moved and covered to protect it from harsh environments and workplace wear, and the new motor location on the base allows for easier serviceability.
