By being part of the process that provides vehicles with continuous high-quality protection from external environments, the BU015X robot from Kawasaki Robotics (USA) Inc. (Wixom, MI) helps automotive manufacturers gain a competitive edge.
Designed specifically for in-vehicle sealing and under-body coating applications, the robot has a maximum reach of almost 9.5 feet (2,888 mm) and 33-pound (15 kg) payload. Its flexible and specialized 7-axis design greatly expands its work envelope, making it ideal for sealing tasks through windows and inside vehicle bodies.
The BU015X’s hollow structure allows for cable harnesses to be housed inside the wrist, upper arm, and base. This eliminates the risk of interference caused by adjacent robots or peripheral equipment, and reduces the risk of hose damage. Its symmetrical and slim design makes the robot perfect for high-density applications and programming through mirrored teaching.
