Fanuc Gakushu Robot R-1000iA/80F and R-1000iA/100F

Fanuc’s Gakushu Robot uses patented software that learns the characteristics of programmed paths then speeds them up, while maintaining the programmed paths and smoothing motion. Up to 15% of motion cycle time is reduced with the added benefit of smoother overall motion.

The R-1000iA/80F has an 80kg payload, and the R-1000iA/100F has a 100kg payload.  Both robots feature a slim design, allowing customers to use more robots in each work cell, reducing the overall size of their automation system.  The narrow footprint of the R-1000iA also allows for easy access to adjacent robots, fixtures, and workpieces.  The R-1000iA can be floor or invert mounted, and has a large work envelope.

“The R-1000iA is also more energy efficient than robots with larger payloads,” adds Rob Totten, application engineer, Fanuc Robotics America.  “Manufacturers using fewer or smaller work cells requiring less conveyance equipment, sensors, and control panels will realize an additional energy advantage provided by smaller automation systems.  This equates to a greener facility using less energy.”

R-1000iA Features and Benefits

•    Very small footprint reduces size of automation system.

•    High-density installations allow work to be completed in fewer stations.
•    Single-robot work cells can be designed to fit in tight spaces.
•    High-speed operation minimizes robot cycle times.
•    Simple serial-link configuration with large operating envelope (including rear and downward side).
•    Upright or invert mounting accommodates a wide range of work areas without a reduction in payload.
•    Strong wrist load ratings support the latest compact servo weld guns.
•    IP67 rated wrist allows operation in wet conditions.
•    Right sized for 80kg or 100kg applications reduces energy usage.
•    Optional Solution Arm dress-out package with internal cable routing for spot welding processes.
•    The new R-30iB robot controller offers a variety of intelligent functions including: patented Gakushu (learning) robot, iRVision, Force Sensing, Roboguide, Robot Link, Collision Guard, and Dual Check Safety (DCS) Speed and Position Check Software.

Next Generation R-30iB Controller

The new Fanuc R-30iB Controller uses high-performance hardware and the latest advances in network communications, integrated iRVision and motion control functions.  The R-30iB Controller features Fanuc’s exclusive iPendant with 4D graphics.  The iPendant displays process information and the actual process path directly on the iPendant screen, enabling easier setup and troubleshooting.
