Kawasaki RS080N

The Kawasaki RS080N puts 80 kg at the end of a 2,100 mm reach, so one arm can cover a wide material handling footprint. It's a mid-heavy arm aimed at material transfer, machine tending, and palletizing support. Six axes give the wrist enough freedom to reorient parts anywhere across that work envelope.

Repeatability lands at 0.06 mm, and the rigid arm structure keeps that accuracy consistent out at full extension. That steadiness matters when the arm sets parts into machine fixtures or stacks layers on a pallet, where small placement drifts compound over a shift. It's also built for continuous multi-shift running.

Floor and ceiling mounting give integrators two ways to seat the arm, whether it works up from the base or reaches down over a machine. At 555 kg it's a fixed installation that anchors to a solid foundation. Its large swept volume needs generous clearance, so cell layout has to account for the full arc it covers.

The trade-offs are practical: that same span demands room, and power draw runs higher than on lighter arms. Utility planning and cell clearance both scale with the reach. Those are the costs of putting 80 kg this far out on a single arm.

The RS080N runs on Kawasaki's F02 controller and carries an IP67 wrist / IP65 base axes rating. It pairs with Kawasaki's palletizing software, which lines up with its palletizing role.

The standout stays the numbers themselves: 0.06 mm repeatability held steady out at the full 2,100 mm reach. That precision sustained across the whole envelope is the RS080N's calling card.
