KM Series
KM Series Multi-Axis Cartesian Systems (Cartesian Robot KK Series)
- Type
- Pre-configured multi-axis system (KK stages)
- Configurations
- 21 standard models, 8 frame types (T1 - T8)
- Axes
- 2 (XY, YZ, XZ) or 3 (XYZ)
- Payload
- 2 [kg] - 40 [kg]
Hiwin's KM series is a pre-designed, and configurable, multi-axis system using Hiwin's premiere ballscrew driven KK stages. Configurations include cantilever (cartesian), XY cross table, single driven and dual driven gantry. Hiwin provides additional value through time savings for designing, sourcing, and machining with pre-made brackets and configurations allowing you to focus your resources on the process rather than the motion products. The KM systems can be sold as assemblies or kits including brackets with additional items such as motors, cables, cable chains, servo drives, and couplings.
KM systems are configured from KK stages; for a single axis, start from the KK itself. View KK Series →

Configurations
The model code strings the X, Y and Z stage sizes ahead of the frame type: 10 = KK100, 86 = KK86, 60 = KK60, 50 = KK50, and XX marks an axis the configuration does not use. Where the payload column shows a range, it is the catalog's max load capacity from the longest standard stroke to the shortest; single values hold across all standard strokes.
