Robotics manufacturer Kawasaki Robotics’ RS013N robot sets the industry benchmark for small-to-medium payload robots. Its 1,460 mm reach is the largest in its class, allowing for installation flexibility and use in a wider variety of applications. It also leads its class in speed, resulting in reduced cycle times and increased productivity.

In addition to its expanded work area, the robot’s wiring and installation options contribute to its overall flexibility. 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 dust-tight RS013N offers a full-body IP67 rating, fully covered motors and waterproof electrical connections allow the robot to Kawasaki’s next generation R series robots (RS007N/L and RS013N) also have reduced interference zones around the robot base, which allows the user to maximize their floor space and working area.
