Explosion-Proof Painting Robots

up to 20 kg payload

Kawasaki Robotics (USA), Inc.

COMPREHENSIVE ROBOT LINE UP Kawasaki offers six explosion-proof painting robot

models, from the KF121 for small applications to the

KJ314 for automotive inner and outer body finishing.

All models are suited for hazardous environments

such as spray painting and boast industry leading

reliability.

CUSTOM & PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEMS The K-Series Robots can be provided as part of

a Kawasaki Robotics custom or pre-engineered

finishing system. Pre-engineered designs are ideal for

standalone finishing cells and are available in a variety

of sizes and configurations. Kawasaki currently offers

six unique explosion-proof cells providing a compact

yet sophisticated solution to your finishing needs.

These designs are standard, therefore proven in the

field. Choosing a K-Series finishing system means

less time spent in design and manufacturing resulting

in the shortest time to production. For full details and

specifications, please visit our website at

EXPLOSION-PROOF PAINTING ROBOTS

EXTENSIVE PAINTING EXPERIENCE Over 30 years of successful robotic painting

experience has enabled Kawasaki to design robots

to meet the needs of today’s most demanding

customers. The K-Series Robots are now equipped

with more advanced application functions than ever

offered before, resulting in increased productivity. Our

highly skilled paint systems professionals have both

process and technology experience and are available

to support your paint automation project, from the

initial planning stage right up to equipment start-up.

The K-Series line of painting robots combines high operational performance with

powerful programming flexibility. With six explosion-proof models available,

Kawasaki has a robot that will suit any robotic painting application, from a one robot

paint cell to complete multi-robot integrated finishing systems.

HOLLOW WRIST ARMS Hollow wrist versions of the K-Series robot arms can

be fitted with internal hoses to minimize overspray

that adheres to the piping, reducing the risk of

contaminants in the paint finish. The inner diameter

of the hollow wrist is 70 mm.

PROGRAMMING FLEXIBILITY K-Series Robots can be programmed in two ways, via

the robot teach pendant or a computer, and using one

of the two Kawasaki’s programming methodologies,

Block Step or AS Language. The Block Step

programming method eliminates time consuming

program teaching with auto-path generating software.

The AS Language provides the programmer ultimate

flexibility via a Basic like syntax through any word

processor text file. Users can create advanced logic,

manipulate program locations, integrate peripheral

components and control the painting process. AS

Language programs can create powerful “decision

making” robots.

EASY SYSTEM INTEGRATION Kawasaki Robotics also offers a control panel to

enhance the ease of system building and interfacing

with peripheral equipment such as robot traveling

unit, workpiece transfer unit, rotation unit, and other

devices. The control panel is an intuitive graphical

interface that allows users to centrally operate and

control all components of the robotic finishing system.

It provides real time status information and access

to production management information such as line

monitoring data, data setting and modification of the

coating requirements and coating unit control panel,

as well as statistical data on production, errors, paint

consumption, etc.

Servo Spinner, Servo Tombow, Servo Turntable and Servo Wing also available. Visit www.kawasakirobotics.com for more information.

Sophisticated Motion Control FunctionsKawasaki’s progressive motion control provides high-speed, high-precision path control.

Other motion control options such as collision detection, soft absorber, and conveyor

tracking are available to meet your system application needs.

Explosion-Proof Teach Pendant The explosion-proof teach pendant is designed for use while in the painting area. Its

intrinsically safe construction is Class 1, Zone 1, Group IIB & T4 certified.

Multi-Function PanelA large color LCD touch panel is used for system set-up, status monitoring, programming,

and troubleshooting. This multi-function panel allows users to teach, edit, and monitor

information such as current position and I/O signals and also serves as an interface to

peripheral equipment. The interface panel can be customized to meet user preferences.

Painting Unit Control Functions (option) Controlling the color change valves (CCV), the electro-pneumatic regulator, and the rotation of the discharge control gear

pump can be done from the robot controller, eliminating the need for an external PLC. This low cost and flexible control

system can be used for a wide range of painting devices. You can also set up painting parameters and calibrate discharge

rate on the teach pendant screen.

CommunicationsKawasaki’s paint controllers use standard communication protocols, such as Ethernet and Serial RS-232C for network

communication and EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, CC-Link, Interbus and other field buses for system control.

Duplicate Safety CircuitsDual channel safety circuits provide redundant protection. If a failure occurs in one system, the other system’s safety circuits

will still offer protection.
