Fanuc Robotics Stamped Part Stacking

The new M-2iA from

is the third in a series of high-speed, parallel-link “Genkotsu” robots that includes the M-1iA and M-3iA robots.  Two new models are available to meet a variety of applications, and both offer a 3kg payload, and 4-axes of motion with a single-axis rotation at the wrist.  The M-2iA/3SL long-arm model offers a larger motion range than the M-2iA/3S.  
    
The 4-axis M-2iA has a single-axis wrist for simple assembly and high-speed picking operations, offering speeds up to 3,500° per second.  In addition, a hollow wrist lets hoses and cables to be routed internally, which minimizes wear and tear on the tooling cables.

The M-2iA operates with Fanuc’s latest R-30iB controller with integrated intelligent functions such as iRVision, Force Sensing, Robot Link, and Collision Guard.  

The M-2iA robot offers a wide range of benefits, including:

•    Portable and compact size allows operation in small spaces.
•    Four-axis design (single-axis wrist) accurately moves parts at extremely high-speeds.
•    A hollow wrist allows tooling cables to be routed internally, minimizing wear and tear.
•    Food option features a special coating to handle acid and alkaline disinfectants.
•    Ability to work with primary (unpackaged) or secondary (packaged) food products.
•    Optional IP69 rating for the entire robot means the robot is waterproof and can withstand harsh environments, including dust and high-pressure cleaning.
•    Supports Fanuc’s latest intelligent features including iRVision and force sensing.
•    Collision Guard detects robot collisions with external objects, minimizing damage to the part and robot.
•    Robot Link controls and coordinates up to ten robots through a network exchange of robot positional data.
