Palletising robot for smaller packages
October 1st 2006

The FD50N robot from Kawasaki, has been specifically developed for a payload capacity of 50kg, making it ideal for palletising and packaging applications for small and medium-sized parts. Its neatly packaged arm contributes to its compact design making it particularly suitable for box top loading and similar smaller package palletising applications. It can be sited in a variety of positions, including ceiling mounted.

Other advantages of the FD50N robot include a large work envelope offering 2640mm for 800 x 1200 (D x W mm) palletising, 1810mm for 1200 x 800 (D x W mm).

It also performs with the longest reach of its class at 2104mm. The robot also has a 5th axis of movement covering +/-10 degrees, allowing additional complicated procedures during or after the palletising process.

With all of these features, the new FD50N robot provides a high throughput capacity, its compact size and a work envelope suiting a wide range of applications with smaller palletising applications.
