FANUC
Robotics America, Inc. has introduced its M-710iC/50 SE FoundryPRO robot
designed for super harsh environments.
The new M-710iC/50 SE FoundryPRO robot is IP67 protected for operation in the harshest environments, the company said. The entire robot is coated with a special epoxy, and the wrist has protective covers to withstand high-pressure washing. In addition, the base of the robot id designed to purge air to avoid vapor entrance.
"The M-710iC/50 SE sets the benchmark for robots working in the super harsh environments of die casting and foundry facilities," said Virgil Wilson, product manager, FANUC Robotics. "In addition to the protective epoxy and air purge, we've incorporated coated bolts, and double oil seals at the joints, making this a truly waterproof robot."
The six-axis M-710iC/50 SE is the latest member of the M-710iC robot series, which offers payloads ranging from 20 kg to 70 kg, and a reach of 1,360 mm to 3,110 mm. Multiple mounting methods including floor, ceiling, angle and wall, make it possible for users to have better access to unusual work pieces.
"This is an exciting robot based on its capabilities and flexibility," said Wilson, "It's rated 'best in class' for speed, and has one of the largest work envelopes in its class. In addition, its compact size and ability to flip over and work behind itself maximizes flexibility for work cell design, and saves valuable floor space."
iRVision -
Integrated (built-in) Vision
The FANUC
iRVision system is a ready-to-use robotic vision package, available on all FANUC
robots, requiring only a camera and cable - no additional processing hardware.
It has a 2D robot guidance tool to accomplish part location, error proofing and
other operations that normally require special sensors or custom fixtures.
LR Mate 200iC
Intelligent Robot
"The LR
Mate 200iC robot offers maximum performance in a light, efficient, accurate and
nimble (LEAN) package," said a spokesperson. "It is designed to meet the
automation needs of a variety of industries including electronics, medical
devices, food, metals, plastics, and packaged and consumer goods. Its compact
design and flexibility to quickly adapt to small lot sizes, new styles and other
modifications provides manufacturers an affordable solution for small part,
flexible production.
"The six-axis, LR Mate 200iC robot rates 'best in class' for its wrist load capacity, repeatability, work envelope and speed. Ideal for high-speed part handling, machine tending, assembly and material removal, the slim and lightweight robot can be mounted in a variety of positions including floor, tabletop, inside machines, angle and invert, which maximizes flexibility for small and narrow workspaces."
R-2000iB
FoundryPRO Robot
"The
R-2000iB FoundryPRO robot represents a family of industrial robots, including
pedestal and rack mount versions with a variety of payloads and reaches. A slim
arm and wrist assembly helps minimize interference with system equipment and
allows the robot to operate in small workspaces. The FoundryPRO option makes the
entire robot IP67 protected for operation in harsh environments."
