FD/ZD/MD Series Palletizer

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides detailed information about Kawasaki's industrial robots, specifically designed for palletizing and handling applications with payload capacities ranging from 50 to 400 kg. It emphasizes safety, performance, and flexibility in various industrial settings.

Safety and Usage: Operators must adhere to all safety regulations and thoroughly read the manuals. For special applications or issues, customers are advised to contact Kawasaki for assistance. Photographs in the catalogue may not show all safety devices.

Product Specifications: The robots, including models like FD50N, ZD130S, and MD400N, offer a large working range and high payload capacity. The FD50N is the most compact, with a vertical range of 1,944 mm, while the MD400N reaches 2,710 mm. Performance is optimized for cycle time, with the FD50N achieving up to 2,400 cycles per hour.

Design and Performance: The compact design of these robots reduces space requirements, allowing for cost-effective and space-saving installations. The FD50N and MD400N feature a compensating fifth axis, eliminating the need for a projecting counterweight.

Applications: These robots are suitable for various industries, including pharmaceuticals and food, where flexibility and high-quality demands are critical. They can handle small weights with high cycle times or heavy parts, adapting to changing production requirements.

Control and Software: The robots are equipped with a Teach Pendant featuring a 6.4-inch color LCD touchscreen for ergonomic operation. Special software modules facilitate programming for tasks like palletizing and welding. The control system includes a RISC, 64-bit dual processor, and supports network communication via Ethernet.

Modular Design: The control system allows for the connection of peripheral equipment and supports network communication. Additional axes can be integrated without additional housing, enabling multi-axial configurations.

Technical Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for each robot model, including motion range, speed, payload capacity, and installation dimensions. The controller supports up to 16 axes and offers various communication interfaces.

Contact Information: The document lists contact details for Kawasaki Robotics offices in Germany, the UK, and France for inquiries and support.
