WIXOM, MI, USA — Kawasaki Robotics’ dedication to continuous improvement is evident in their technically  advanced general purpose robot line: the R series. With a history dating back to the mid-1980s, Kawasaki  has continued to refine their general purpose robot arms over time, routinely producing robots with wider working ranges, faster cycle times, longer reach, and increased torque. The release of the RS007N/L models  in 2017 marked the beginning of a new generation of Kawasaki R series and the latest model, the RS013N,  is no exception. By offering a 13 kg payload capacity, a wide working range, small footprint and  IP67-classi ed design, the NEW RS013N sets the industry benchmark for small-to-medium payload robots.  

Industry Leading Speed & Flexibility 

The new robot’s design includes a new arm structure, drive system and lighter main unit, which enables  high speeds and a large working area. Its 1,460 mm reach is the largest in its class, allowing for installation  flexibility and use in a wider variety of applications. The RS013N robot also leads its class in speed,  resulting in reduced cycle times and increased productivity. 

Enhanced Versatility 

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  foor, ceiling and wall mount options provide installation  exibility 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  oor  space and working area. 

Built for Longevity 

Kawasaki’s new R series robots are designed with ease of use and longevity in mind. 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 enhanced protection and easier serviceability.
