TO ENSURE SAFETY
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.

Kawasaki’s advanced technology .

streamlines the spot welding process.

The B series line of spot welding robots were developed using Kawasaki’s proven
advanced technology and spot welding expertise to take performance to the next level.

Features
High-speed spot welding
Minimized net weight, heavy duty motors, and advanced anti-vibration control technology makes the
B series robots champion sprinters. These features help the robots excel at high speed short-pitch
movements making them ideal for spot welding. The improved motion sequence by the servo
welding guns, as well as the automatic calibration feature to optimize acceleration and deceleration
of the gun speed, leads to a significant reduction in cycle time and results in maximum production.

Integrated dress package

The B series line is manufactured using hollow reduction units for the upper arm. This allows for an
internal dressing of the robot from the base to the tool mounting plate. With Kawasaki’s integrated
dress package, the manufacturing line build and digital engineering time is greatly reduced and
interference with adjacent robots or peripheral devices is minimized.

Space saving design BT165L / BT200L

Compared to conventional robots with similar payload capacity, the B series robots have a much
smaller footprint and narrower body. The small footprint of these slim arm design robots allows for
installation in “high-density” applications without impeding performance. In addition, the B series
robot line houses the cable harnesses within the robot arm, further reducing the amount of work
space required and minimizing potential interference.
