…or mixed unit loads using FANUC add-on instructions (AOIs). Kawasaki Kawasaki’s RS013N six-axis cobot has a maximum load capacity of 13 kg (28.6 lb.). A recent redesign for all of the company's R series cobots results in less overall weight, enabling faster working speed and improved range of motion – up to 1,460 mm (57.4 in.), meaning better cycle times and improve flexibility. The cobot also features covered motors and waterproof electrical connections, with different models for floor, wall, or ceiling mounting. Reduced interference zones around the robot base allow users to maximize their floor space and working area, said…
