If you already know the other robot models, i think it is easy to learn the Kawasaki language. You can take a look over the programming and I/O manuals.
What do you want to know? Give some examples and we can discuss.
Hi,
if you want manuals, I have everything you need.
Good job
Welcome to the forum...………..
I am in a similar situation to you, except, I know Kawasaki and I'm now venturing into Fanuc.
Many features, setup configurations, and program structures differences indeed to get your head around.
All robots are comparable in that they move from A to B using differing hardware and programming methods.
Main issues are with the word 'comparison'......you should try not to compare to much in the early stages as most of the time you see the 'new equipment wearing negative glasses'.
Treat it as though you are a novice, allow yourself to grasp the fundamental basics then once you have these, then you are in a better position to compare and see the actual 'pros and cons'.
For this reason alone, I would always recommend some form of OEM training to start with.
Even though you know other products, there is no substitute for getting the opportunity to get some hands on, speaking to OEM trainers/staff about comparisons etc and the experience of just how the others do it.
This you would benefit from, especially being able to view and discuss hardware connections and configuration recommendations from an OOBE perspective.
In addition to this, definitely obtain an OLP app (especially OEM specific), this will enable you to quickly get upto speed on Teach Pendant and Programming.
As far as obtaining manuals, tips and hints:
Kawasaki do have a good user support network, I use them a lot.
Today's philosophy is to go on the internet first......leaving OEM Tech support redundant, but I would always go to them first as they are in better position to assist you directly with product related issues, especially with 'novice startup questions' and latest manuals.
Then come to Robot Forum, and get in touch with the 'global community', this is where you be in touch with users from many applications with experience in application of the product and this will then bolster your existing knowledge and also you could provide assistance to others too.
I wish you the best of luck in you knew venture, like I said I am in the same situation with Fanuc and the above is how I am approaching it.
Feel free to pop in and feedback any questions you may have...……..
Kawasaki are not like Fanuc, they encourage full knowledge of their product.
Have a look at the global website for additional contact information:

If you get no joy, then stop off here, there's a wealth if info to hand.
