The Kawasaki F Series design is a direct response to manufacturers’ needs. There are 17 configuration variations that perform a wide range of applications including material handling, arc welding, sealant dispensing, clean room operation, and washing. The modular construction allows the customer to select from a wide variety of robot models and arm combinations for various reaches and payloads. This modular construction also allows for easy modification of existing F Series robots, by using common components. Due to their light weight and use of high output, high efficiency motors, the F Series is capable of moving at high speeds, which significantly decreases cycle times and increases productivity. The installation space requirement is very small, yet, with its wide range of motion, the work envelope is exceptionally large. The extremely slim arm construction allows the F Series robot to operate in confined areas that would otherwise be inaccessible to more bulky robots.
