World's largest production robot can handle 1.350kg: M-2000iA
09/12/2009
Two versions
The six axes robot arm is available in 900Kg and 1,200Kg payload variants – M-2000iA/900L and M-2000iA/1200 - and is capable of handling its maximum payload quickly, smoothly and with a high degree of accuracy. Wherever super-heavy components require accurate handling, for example assembly of heavy machine tool components or positioning vehicle bodies, the M-2000iA can provide a safe, fast and repeatable alternative to manual crane-assisted placement.
This 1,200Kg variant can be upgraded now to 1,350Kg thanks to an available option!!
Force and Speed
Aimed firmly at new applications formerly out of the scope of industrial robots, the M-2000iA is ideal for replacing cranes, transport shuttles and gantry units. A 6.2Mtr vertical reach is provided by the M-2000iA/900L variant while handling its maximum 900Kg payload with accurately controlled path and speed. The wrists of the robots are IP67 protected for operation in harsh environments.
Designed for super heavy and large work pieces, the M-2000/iA is a development of FANUC’s well proven all electric servo-driven M series. The new robot maintains all the flexibility of the lower payload models with a fast joint 4 wrist speed and the ability to manage high wrist inertias.
The M-2000iA runs with FANUC Robotics’ latest intelligent controller – the R-30iA series an open-architecture system with integrated intelligent functions including vision and force sensing. The new FANUC Robotics controller provides enhancements to performance, an increase in the number of robot arms it can control and a fully integrated vision control system.
Where vision is required the R-30iA controller helps reduce integration time and cost with its integrated iRVision system. No additional hardware, other than a camera, is required to integrate vision with the new controller.
