Cautions to be taken to ensure safety

For those persons involved with the operation/service of your system, including Kawasaki Robot, they must
strictly observe all safety regulations at all times. They should carefully read the manuals and other related
safety documents.

Products described in this catalogue are general industrial robots. Therefore, if a customer wishes to use the
Robot for special purposes, which might endanger operators or if the robot has any problems, please contact
us. We will be pleased to help you.

Be careful as photographs illustrated in this catalogue are frequently taken after removing safety fences and
other safety devices stipulated in the safety regulations from the Robot operation system.

Robots for palletising

and handling applications

50 – 400 kg Payload
 Large working range and high payload
From speed to power: The FD50N, the most compact model with payload of 50kg, covers a vertical working range of 1,944
mm, the ZD130S/250S 2,200 mm and the MD400N 2,710 mm. The flexible processing of several pal-

The Kawasaki palletizing robot group lets with a centrally arranged robot can be easily realised.

Performance optimised for cycle time

In standardised tests the FD50N achieved a maximum performance of 2,400 cycles per hour, the
ZD130S 1,800 cycles per hour and the MD400N 400 cycles per hour*¹.

Compact design
The design of the FD50N and MD400N with a compensating fifth axis that replaces the more com-
plicated parallelogram and the smaller footprint of all models as well as the omission of a projecting
counterweight enormously reduce the space requirements of the robot arm. This permits the design
and realisation of space-saving and thus lower-cost concepts.
*¹ FD50N Test: 75mm vertical 900mm horizontal 75mm vertical / linear 50kg
ZD130S Test: 400mm vertical 2000mm horizontal 400mm vertical / linear 60kg
MD400N Test: 400mm vertical 2000mm horizontal 400mm vertical / linear 400kg

In all branches of industry, from pharmaceuticals to foods,

specialists from the automation branch encounter permanently
changing requirements.
High quality demands combined with smaller numbers of
pieces or changing products on a production line challenge
the flexibility of concepts and plants as well as the creativity of
design engineers.
Kawasaki also faces up to these challenges in the field of Applications for palletizing
palletising applications. The group of palletizing robots offers
all possibilities for implementing the required flexibility in auto-
mation and production. Small weights with a high cycle time or
high parts weight. The Kawasaki palletizing robots face up to
every challenge from 50kg to 400kg.
