The “M series” – this powerful robot developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a pioneer of industrial robot manufacture, has a maximum payload of 1,500 kg. Its superior design gives it the power to lift and manipulate heavy loads with great ease and high accuracy. Kawasaki’s own mechanism makes the waist more compact and allows it to support a larger payload capacity.

Maximum payload 1,500 kgIncorporating a compact profile design with long reach and high wrist torque

MX700NMX420LMX350L MX500N MT400N MG10HL MG15HL

FeaturesCompact profileThe MX adopts a new link structure for the JT3 (upper and lower arms), while the MG adopts Kawasaki’s own hybrid link mechanism and ball screws for the JT3. Two large motors to drive them make the counterweight unnecessary and the robot’s waist compact.

High wrist torqueThe MG15HL have superb wrist torque. This torque increases the offset distance from the twist flange surface to the center of gravity of a workpiece. Its application offers excellent results when working with off-centered workpieces.

High rigidityThe second and third axes that affect the accuracy of hand motions use highly rigid ball screws with minimal backlash. This reduces arm deflection while enabling high positioning accuracy. (MG)

Wide motion rangeKawasaki’s original hybrid link mechanism along with the ball screws used in the second and third axes ensures a wide work envelope when the arm moves forward. (MG)

Many variationsFour MX models (6-axis type, 350 - 700 kg) and two MG models (6-axis type, 1,000 - 1,500 kg) are floor mounting types. The MT400N (6-axis, 400kg) is a shelf mounting type. These models are for assembling and handling applications.

Con�gurations of MG15HL upper arm

E seriesThe E-Controller, with unprecedented quality and compact size, was created in response to customer demand.Kawasaki’s collaboration of past achievements and experience has lead to the development of the most technically advanced controller available. This industry leading design provides increased performance and easy operation that exceeds expectations.

FeaturesCompactSmall footprint of the E controller makes it easy to achieve high-density layouts. And overall volume has been reduced greatly compared with the previous model. As a result, an upright-position installation or stacked installation is possible, in order to save installation space.

User-friendly operation systemThe operation system has now fully developed into a more user-friendly design. The operator can turn on the motors and activate the cycle start all from the teach pendant, thereby realizing a more convenient system control. The two information screens can be displayed simultaneously, enabling the operator to view different types of information easily (for example, positional and signal information).

Abundance of functionsThe large variety of unique functions makes it possible to support a wide range of applications. These functions can be combined and easily configured within a system to suit a particular application. Likewise, the built-in Kawasaki “AS Language” provides sophisticated robot motion and sequence controls.

Incorporating the latest technologiesThe enhanced CPU capacity allows for more accurate trajectory control, faster program execution, and quicker saving and loading of files, and countless other advantages. In addition, the memory has been expanded to answer the need for higher program storage capacity. A USB port is equipped as a external storage conduit.

Easier maintenanceWith modular components and fewer cables, Kawasaki has developed a controller that is compact and easy to maintain. A host of maintenance functions are available, including the DIAG function for self-diagnostics, a maintenance support function that can handle not only hardware errors but also application errors. In addition to the DIAG function, there are other additional functions, such as a Web server that enables engineers to perform remote diagnostics.

Highly expandableWith the use of additional amplifiers and multi axis controller, the E04 controller can support up to 16 external axes, and the E58 up to 17.Numerous communication fieldbuses can be used to control peripheral devices. Advanced systems can easily be built by using Kawasaki K-Logic sequencer software and the user-customized interface panel on the teach

pendant.

Global Unified SpecificationThe E04 is a universal controller equipped with an optional transformer unit to cope with different primary power sources worldwide.
