Installation support and usertraining from Kawasaki continuedthrough March of 2001. The system is based around a Kawasaki UT150 robot with a second unit as backup. Each UT150 robot is equipped withthree Graco PrecisionSwirlapplicators using PrecisionSwirl for SD control assembly panels. Along with custom mounting the PrecisionSwirl applicators to the UT150 robots Kawasakidesigned full safety guarding including light screens a customdesigned operator interface panelwith custom touchscreen display tocontrol the system and robot rise ...
