Kawasaki BX and BA robots suit automotive welding

The BX and BA series of robots from Kawasaki Robotics feature arms that are newly designed from the ground up. Designed for applications in the automotive sector – the BX for spot welding and the BA for arc welding – both robots have hollow construction forearms that allow the integration of pipes and cabling.

Making the integration of robots straightforward and fast into increasingly compact spaces, is the driving force behind the designs, which offer large work envelopes with relatively small footprints. The robots are said to offer impressive re-orientation speed and repeatability, even with heavy end-of-arm tooling.
