FANUC America Corporation has introduced its new ARC Mate 100iC/8L welding robot with 2,028 mm reach and 8 kg payload. Compared to the previous model, the new robot features a 30% reduction in power consumption and weighs 40% less, and offers a long, slim arm with a larger range of motion. An enhanced motor and servo system shortens cycle times for improved productivity.
The ARC Mate 100iC/8L, like all FANUC robots, operates with the company's latest R-30iB controller with integrated intelligent functions such as vision and integrated secondary control, ROBOGUIDE Simulation and DCS Speed and Position Check Software.
The series of 6-axis ARC Mate 100iC robots includes the new ARC Mate 100iC/8L, the ARC Mate 100iC/12 with a 1,420 mm reach and 12 kg payload, and the ARC Mate 100iC/7L with a 1,632 mm reach and a 7 kg payload. Strong and rigid, the ARC Mate 100iC robots offer high speeds and smooth motion.
A hollow wrist offers easy routing of cables and tubes. The internal routing of the ARC Mate 100iC allows the dress package to follow the motion range of the robot, simplifying programming and eliminating cable management issues.
ARC Mate 100iC robots and the R-30iB controller can be integrated into a welding system that includes the weld torch cable, wire feeder and welding power supply.
FANUC iRVision is an integrated plug-and-go vision system that runs on the standard CPU of every FANUC R-30iB controller without additional hardware. iRVision offers easy set-up and operation for factory environments requiring 2-D and 3-D guidance, error proofing, visual tracking and quality control.
The FANUC R-30iB and R-30iB Mate controllers feature FANUC's exclusive iPendant with 4-D graphics. The iPendant displays process information and the actual process path directly on the iPendant screen, enabling easier set-up and troubleshooting.
