JOHN Hart Robotics and Automation releases the Fanuc M-2000iA ‘super heavy payload robot’ to the Australian market.
Weighing almost 10 tonne, John Hart says the M-2000iA is the largest and strongest handling robot on the market to date.
The M-2000iA is available in a 900kg payload and 1200kg payload version. The 900kg version has a maximum reach of 4.7m with a vertical stroke of 6.7m.
The M-2000iA/1200 has a software option to increase the maximum payload to 1350Kg. The Fanuc M-2000iA/1200 has the capacity to transport loads of 1000kg up to 1055mm from the roll face of the wrist. The 14700 nm wrist of the robot is IP-67 rated and can be utilised in adverse environmental conditions such as severe dust and liquid.
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 with features such as 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.
