Kawasaki Robots Troubleshooting & Procedures
Kawasaki Robotics, a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, manufactures industrial robot arms for welding, painting, palletizing, and handling, including the R, B, M, Z, and duAro dual-arm series. Robots are programmed in the proprietary AS language and run on Kawasaki's own controllers (C, D, E, and F series). Technicians typically work with the teach pendant, AS language terminal commands, and PC tools such as K-ROSET (offline simulation) and KRterm/KCwin for terminal access.
Step-by-step procedures
