FANUC Robotics North America, Inc.
recently introduced the new R-2000iA/200T robot. The new robot is engineered for
heavy-duty machine tending applications in the metal cutting, plastics, die
casting and other industries.
The R-2000iA/200T is the latest addition to FANUC Robotics' material handling product line. It joins the M-6iT, M-16iT, M-16iLT and M-710iT "Toploader" product family with overhead, six-axis, rail-mounted robots. Designed for large to very large material handling applications, the R-2000iA/200T offers 200-kg payload capacity and reach in excess of 2.0 m.
"Our Toploader robots are in demand with manufacturers looking to increase their productivity by improving machine utilization," said Dick Motley, FANUC Robotics engineering manager, material handling systems. "This latest version meets the needs of an increasing number of customers that require more reach and lifting power."
Featuring a modular construction, the R-2000iA/200T's six axes of motion (one linear and five rotary) result in a "mobile" robot capable of servicing multiple machines, stations or operations. The rail mount allows top, front or side entry into a machine.
In addition, the overhead mount allows a full range of motion for post-extraction, value-added operations such as trimming, washing, deburring, palletizing, labeling or packing. It also reduces floor space and ceiling height requirements, and keeps the front of the machine clear for changeover, maintenance and service. The robot is available in a single- or dual-armed configuration and can be mounted "underslung" or "sideslung" on a rail providing a 5.5 to 41.0 m working range.
