FANUC yesterday launched the M-950iA industrial robotic, which is able to lifting heavy gadgets together with automotive parts, building supplies, and electrical car battery packs. Becoming between FANUC’s M-900iB and M-1000iA households, the serial-link structured M-950iA/500 gives a wider vary of movement than commonplace parallel-link robots. This gives adaptability for tight workspaces and variable layouts, mentioned the corporate.
“We’re thrilled to introduce our new robotic to the market,” mentioned Eric Potter, common supervisor of FANUC America Corp.’s Robotic Software Section. “Its design is ideal for speedy and strong efficiency in heavy half lifting, palletizing, and demanding material-handling duties.”
“With its distinctive energy and flexibility, the M-950iA is ready to develop into a powerhouse for patrons in search of adaptable options in difficult industrial environments,” he added.
FANUC touts M-950iA agility and accuracy
A high-rigidity design makes FANUC’s newest robotic able to dealing with payloads as much as 500 kg — and its attain of two,829.5 mm is paired with a broad vary of movement on the robotic’s J3 axis, permitting it to flip over backward. The system can deal with massive and heavy workpieces because of its ultra-strong and highly effective wrist.
The M-950iA can also be out there with stiffness choices to take care of excessive accuracy even beneath the exterior pressure. FANUC mentioned this makes the robotic appropriate for friction stir welding, drilling, and riveting functions.
Options and advantages of the system embrace:
- 6 managed axes
- 500 kg (1,102.3 lb.) most payload
- A 2,829.5 mm (111.4 in.) attain
- Serial hyperlink design with a large J3 axis movement vary
- Excessive-performance servomotor drive system providing positioning repeatability of ±0.08 mm
- Person-friendly FANUC iPendant instructing gadget and R-30iB Plus controller connectivity
- Accuracy and stiffness enhancement choices can be found for top precision or the place exterior forces could act on the robotic
Robotic maker expands in Michigan
FANUC America, a subsidiary of Japan-based FANUC Corp., is a world chief in robotics, manufacturing unit automation, CNC methods, and ROBOMACHINEs. The firm mentioned its modern applied sciences and confirmed experience assist producers maximize effectivity and keep a aggressive edge.
In July, FANUC unveiled its 650,000-sq.-ft. (60,386-sq.-m) West Campus in Auburn Hills, Mich. It mentioned the ability expands its whole footprint in Michigan to greater than 2 million sq. ft. (185,806 sq. m) and is a part of its strategic funding to advance industrial automation in North America.
The corporate‘s new facility consists of superior product manufacturing and customised automation, in addition to warehouse area for greater than 6,000 quick-delivery robots and tens of 1000’s of elements.
