WHAT ARE pharma ROBOTS?

Medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers stand on the cutting edge of science and technology. The broad field of life sciences is a challenging but rewarding sector: while the potential for new innovations is nearly limitless, small and large firms alike face logistical, practical and regulatory hurdles. Kawasaki Robotics offers powerful and robust yet precise and flexible automation solutions that allow innovations to be scaled quickly, efficiently and profitably.

For cleanroom and isolator environments, Kawasaki’s clean robots meet the healthcare industry’s processing equipment specifications for accuracy, consistency and cleanliness, making them ideal for a wide range of assembly, dispensing, inspection and material handling applications.

Increasing efficiency and reliability

From the assembly of medical devices, components and sensitive dispensing of pharmaceutical compounds to rapid, repeatable packing and palletizing operations, our precise, easily scaled life sciences automation solutions enhance productivity, product quality and time-to-market.

Kawasaki’s 6- and 7-axis robots can carry payloads of between 2 kg and 1,500 kg, making them suitable for packing and dispensing medication as well as manipulating bulky liquid containers during large-scale pharmaceutical compound production. Meanwhile, Kawasaki’s powerful software enables our gripper-equipped robots to manipulate vials, test tubes, petri dishes and assays in sensitive testing operations in cleanroom environments, including laboratories, boosting testing speed while reducing human error.

The life sciences segment is of the modern economy’s most dynamic, exciting sectors, and Kawasaki Robotics is committed to developing automation solutions that allow cutting-edge innovations to be scaled and accelerated for global good.

The Kawasaki
Robotics Difference

For over 50 years, Kawasaki has been developing technology to meet the high demand of assembly applications, whether you are bin picking, inserting, joining, or fastening. Our technology-agnostic stance allows us to provide customers with the best solution and our commitment to through-life services make us a reliable partner.

We’ve always had a manufacturer-first mindset, because we’re a manufacturer ourselves. Our open-source programming platform offers several types of programming languages for all skill levels, letting users easily scale from basic operations to AI integrations. This, combined with our exclusive online resources and tools, puts our customers and partners comfortably in the driver’s seat at all times.

And when you work with us, you won’t find hidden and costly surprises for added software capability, product manuals, training, remote service calls and more. We pick up the phone when you call, and we treat you the same whether you’re a large-scale enterprise or a small business. We speak plainly and we never mislead, always treating our customers and partners the way we would hope to be treated.

HOW WE DO pharma robotics DIFFERENTLY

Pharma and medical applications demand a high degree of cleanliness, accuracy, precision, and stability. Kawasaki Robotics commitment is to provide the best solution possible to our customers. Stainless steel arms and special chrome platings support full sterilization by VHP as well as wash-down by alkaline cleaning liquids – making our robots especially resilient against all chemical and mechanical damage.

Due to our patented hollow-wrist design, cables and hoses can be installed inside the arm up to the wrist flange, preventing any interference. All robots of our MC and MS Series are fully compatible with IP67 standards and ISO Class 5 cleanliness, independently tested and certified by Fraunhofer IPA.
