About Kawasaki Robotics

Kawasaki Robotics is the Robot Business Division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, one of Japan’s longest-established robot makers: the division produced Japan’s first commercial industrial robot in 1969 and has shipped more than 210,000 robots worldwide (company-stated). Its line-up covers articulated robots from small models up to large machines of 300 kg payload and palletizing robots rated far higher, organised by application rather than by size alone — spot and arc welding, assembly, material handling, machine tending, painting, sealing and dispensing, palletizing, friction spot joining and cleanroom wafer handling. Series such as the RS, BA, BX/B and CP families are paired with Kawasaki’s own controllers and application software, and the division also markets collaborative and dual-arm systems for work alongside people.

Because the parent group itself builds ships, aircraft, rail vehicles and motorcycles, the robot division designs for heavy factory use inside its own plants as well as for customers, with particular depth in automotive body and paint shops and in semiconductor handling. Regional headquarters and subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Korea, China and India run sales, engineering and service locally. For partners, Kawasaki is a full-range, single-vendor source of heavy-duty industrial robots with a service network in most major manufacturing regions.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
