Kawasaki Robotics and InduSoft Web Studio: InduSoft Presentation
- 2. Today’s Agenda • Overview of Robotics Market • Type of Robots • New technologies • Uses of Robotics (Kawasaki) • Interfacing a Kawasaki Robot to InduSoft • Q & A
- 3. History of Robots • Joseph Engelberger, Father of modern robotics • Started world’s first robot company - Unimation • Initially created in the 1950’s • First robot deployed was the Unimate • Deployed at a GM Assembly plant in 1961 • Uses included transporting die castings and welding • Unimate was featured on Johnny Carson show knocking a golf ball into a cup and pouring a beer.
- 4. History of Robotics • Early Robotics expensive (Unimate cost $35,000 in 1961) • Early Robots difficult to program • No means to detect environment around them (i.e. vision) • 1980’s saw a large growth in use of robotics • Multi-axis robots emerged with motors in arms
- 5. Growth in Robotics Use 8% industry growth in 2015
- 6. Robotics use by Geography 70% of use in 5 markets
- 7. 2015 Robotic Sales by Country • North America 37,000 units +15% growth – U.S. 27,000 units 3% growth – Mexico 5,500 units, 100%+ growth • Europe 50,000 units +10% growth – Germany 20,000 units – Italy 6,700 units – Spain 3,800 units • Asia-Pacific 156,000 units +14% growth – China 68,000 units, 17% growth – Korea 37,000 units – Japan 35,000 units Source: International Federation of Robotics
- 8. Robotics use by Market Segment Automotive & Electronics are Primary Markets
- 9. 2015 Robotic Growth by Segment • Automotive 95,000 units +1% growth • Metals +63% growth • Plastic & Rubber +40% growth • Electronics +16% growth

- 12. Types of Robots • SCARA • Articulated • Gantry-Cartesian • Cylindrical • Delta
- 13. SCARA Robots • Selective Compliant Assembly Robotic Arm • Slightly compliant in the X & Y direction but rigid in the Z direction, hence “selective compliant” • Circular work envelope • Typically used in assembly operations (vertical assembly) • Small parts handling with low payload • Pictured: Dual-armed Kawasaki SCARA Robot
- 14. Articulated Robots • Robots that have 2 – 10 rotating joints • Each arm is connected to a twisting joint (called an axis) • Most common are 4 – 6 joint (axes) robots • Varying payloads • Typical uses include welding, painting, palletizing • Clean-room versions as well for medical and pharmaceutical Pictured: 6-axis Kawasaki Robot
- 15. Cartesian/Gantry Robots • Robots that have 3 linear joints • Use Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, & Z) • May have attached wrist that allows for rotation • Highly accurate and repeatable operations
- 16. Cylindrical Robot • Robot arm has 3 degrees of freedom but moves linearly along only the Y and Z axes • 3rd degree of freedom is the rotation around the 2 axes • Work envelope is the shape of the cylinder
- 17. Delta Robots • Spider-like robot with a common base • Capable of delicate, precise movement • Typically powered by servomoters with high acceleration and short cycle times • Applicable for light weight uses with wide area • Used in Food, Pharmaceutical & Electronic Industries • Commonly used for picking and kitting applications Pictured: Kawasaki Delta Robot
- 18. Robots Outside Of Industrial Automation • Healthcare (e.g. surgical robots) • Police • Military • Underwater exploration • Space • Food Service
- 19. Related Technology Advancements • Sensors and Machine Vision – Guidance – Part verification, orientation • Communications – Standardized protocols, production monitoring/reporting • Collaborative Robots (Cobots) – Force Limited, work alongside humans in uncaged areas – Suited to small batch manufacturing • Flexible, intelligent manufacturing – IIoT – High mix, low volume
- 20. IoRT : Internet of Robotic Things
- 22. Key HMI features • 240+ built-in drivers to communicate to Robot & PLC • OPC DA/XML/.NET/UA support • Recipe Management • Windows File Access • Alarming & Event Logging • Security • ActiveX and .NET support for Vision Systems • Database support
- 23. Kawasaki Driver - KAWR • Supports Kawasaki D & E Controllers • TCP/IP connection, Port 23 • Supported Headers – String – Real – Pose (Joint Position Variables) – Transf (Transformation Position Variables) – Status – Signal (I/O Internal Signals) – DREG (Data Registers) – W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W10 & W14 (Where values- Read Only)
