Heavy payload lifting with the new Fanuc M-1000iA robot
Fanuc’s new large material handling robot, the M-1000iA, can lift and manipulate heavy loads with more versatility. The M-1000iA is FANUC’s largest robot to feature a serial link mechanism, rather than the parallel link mechanism typical of heavy payload robots. As a result, the Fanuc M-1000iA has a wider range of motion in both vertical and longitudinal directions, allowing the arm to stand upright and rotate backwards, which is impossible with parallel link robots. This capability provides users with extended versatility across a wide range of handling applications.
Think big
With a wrist payload of 1000 kg and a maximum reach of 3253 mm, Fanuc M-1000iA robot users can automate production lines and improve productivity in applications such as the drilling and handling of automotive components, construction materials and battery packs for electric vehicles.
