John Hart Robotics and Automation released the Fanuc M-2000iA ‘super heavy payload robot’ in Australia.
Weighing almost 10 tonnes, the M-2000iA is available in 900 kg payload and 1200 kg payload versions. The 900kg version has a maximum reach of 4.7 m with a vertical stroke of 6.7 m.
The M-2000iA/1200 has a software option to increase the maximum payload to 1350 kg.
The Fanuc M-2000iA/1200 has the capacity to transport loads of 1,000kg up to 1055mm from the roll face of the wrist, which is 14700 nm and IP-67-rated.
The M-2000iA/1350 can manoeuvre 1350kg at 66.6cm (Z axis) from the roll face.
The M-2000iA robot series is suitable for heavy load applications such as heavy machine tending, handling of heavy zinc ingots, heavy brick load palletising and automotive body transfer.
The M-2000iA is controlled by Fanuc’s R-30iA robot controller and features integrated iRVision and multiple robot control.
The R-30iA robot controller offers communication with industry standard protocols such as Device Net, Profibus DP, Modbus and Ethernet IO.
