Basic Description: The powerful new M Series robots have carrying capacities of up to 500 kg (1200 lbs). To accompany this extreme payload lifting capability, Kawasaki has developed an ultra high-torque wrist that enables payloads to be fully manipulated at high speed throughout the entire work envelope. The M Series robot wrist has the highest rated torque in its class and more than double the torque of other high payload robots.

The Kawasaki M Series robots are the first robots to utilize a revolutionary advanced link design (patent pending), enabling the robot to lift extremely large payloads without the use of a bulky counterbalance. This compact profile allows the robot to be manipulated in a confined work zone without the risk of interference from a large obtrusive counterbalance. This unique M Series arm design is available in three different length configurations with a maximum reach of over 3 meters.

The M Series robots, along with the latest technology Kawasaki D controller, are loaded with advanced capabilities, features and options. Collision detection and vibration suppression control software allow the robot to manipulate large loads smoothly and safely. Six common high-torque servo motors are utilized for high power and easy maintenance. Interchangeable arm design allows for future upgrades to lengthen or reduce robot reach. Numerous upgrades are available to cater to most any high payload application.

The M Series robot is ideal for applications involving: engines, auto-bodies, heavy vehicle assemblies, large castings and forgings, billets, appliances, construction and agricultural equipment, etc.
