Each joint axis has a double seal construction, and the electrical connectors are waterproof. These features enable the wrists to meet IP67 standards, and the remaining axes to meet IP65 standards. If required, an option that meets IP67 standards can be provided for the remaining axes.

The B series Robots were developed for spot welding applications using Kawasaki’s proven advanced technology and extensive automotive experience to take performance to the next level. The robots offer through-arm cable routing, a space saving design with a wide work envelope, as well as heavy-duty motors and advanced motion control technology that make the B robot a champion sprinter.  These features reduce manufacturing line build and digital engineering time, support installation in “high-density” applications, and bolster high speed short-pitch movements, making the B series Robots ideal for spot welding.  

All of the above systems require repeatable placement of the weld joint relative to the filler wire. For quality welding, actual maximum deviation tolerable depends on the process, part thickness, welding position and joint geometry. Where the total deviation is outside the repeatable range, additional systems are used to shift the robot program enabling maintenance of a quality weld.
