Year 2002-2004, heavy duty 6 axis robots equipped with the C controller

Basic Description: The Kawasaki ZX Series robots are designed for heavy-duty payload applications requiring a flexible work envelope. The patented Kawasaki Hybrid Link Configuration allows the robot to flip-over backward minimizing plant floor space requirements. The new space saving design incorporates a small footprint with integrated air piping and wiring. The IP65 rated robot arm enables the ZX Series robots to operate in the most severe environments reaches, speeds and payloads.
