Title
The KAWASAKI KJ155 robot is a high-precision industrial robot that we used in an automotive manufacturing plant for the assembly of various components of a car engine. The robot was programmed to perform different tasks such as picking up, manipulating and assembling the parts using different types of grippers, including the FESTO Three-point gripper DHDS and Onrobot 3FG15 Finger Gripper.
Pro
One of the most helpful aspects of the KAWASAKI KJ155 robot is its precision and speed in handling and asembling different types of parts in a manufacturing environment. The robot's advanced sensors and safety features also make it a valuablle asset in ensuring a safe working environment alongside human operators.
Another upside of using the KJ155 robot is its ability to integrate with existing manufacturing systems enabling a smooth transition to automated processes while maintaining the quality and consistency of production. The robot's advanced programming capabilities also allow for customization and optimization of manufacturing processes to suit specific production requirements.
Con
one of its potential downsides is its high initial cost and complexity in installation and programming. Ongoing maintenance and training requirements may also add to the overall cost of ownership.
except that, it does the job well, no worries.

KJ 155 will use an E25 controller with 0.15 mm of repeatability and 1.5 m/sec of painting speed It stands at the top of the market. We had it used in a paint application of an automotive Body frame, where this robot makes a big difference because of its hollow wrist, which prevents adhering to tubes and cables and minimizes the paint defects, which is a vital factor in paint application.
I really like the tech support, was available from the initial planning stage. Another thing is The most Incredible option with the purchase of K-Series is the Paint Package cell option, they have got around 7 package cells with different configurations obviously, really easy to install and directly impact your startup time more than other custom design.
So in our application, it was required to paint inside the frame where robot design plays a vital role, so with KJ 155, we were able to get our outputs, because of the slim body texture.
Con
If your robot will use an electrostatic spray gun there are a variety of things you will want to ensure are implemented within your plant. To spray electrostatically you need a paint area where all objects are grounded and there can be special solvent considerations among other factors.
These steps can be difficult to implement depending on your plant and can require strong operating procedures to reduce the risk of problems arising. Teach pendant has a Complex interface as compared to Fanuc and Yaskawa Robot, Not user-friendly. Only first-time users might experience this drawback if they have ever used Fanuc or Yaskawa before. You can be more familiar with the interface as you used it in your daily routine.
