Overview
- • The FANUC M-410iC/110 is a four-axis palletizing robot built to move cartons and bags at high throughput in end-of-line cells.
- • It carries 110 kg on the wrist and reaches 2,403 mm, which covers a full pallet plus the infeed conveyor from one floor position.
- • Pose repeatability of ±0.05 mm to ISO 9283 on the FANUC M-410iC/110 keeps every layer square, so stacked cases stay inside the pallet footprint.
- • A compact body and a high-throughput axis set let the FANUC M-410iC/110 match fast case packers without a buffer conveyor.
- • The base carries up to 550 kg and the J3 arm supports 30 kg, leaving capacity for layer grippers, vacuum frames and tooling brackets.
- • The robot weighs 1,030 kg without the controller and is installed on the floor, so no ceiling structure or gantry is required.
- • The same series also offers the M-410iC/185, /315 and /500 at 3,143 mm reach, the five-axis M-410iB/140H and the 700 kg M-410iB/700.

Advantages
High Throughput in a Compact Body
- • The M-410iC/110 body is purposely compact, which lets the arm work closer to the pallet and shortens every transfer.
- • J4 rotates 720° at 420 °/s, so layer grippers can be squared to the pallet without an extra wrist move.
- • J1 and J3 reach 145 °/s and 140 °/s, keeping the FANUC M-410iC/110 in step with fast case packers and baggers.
- • Short cycles mean fewer buffer conveyors, smaller accumulation zones and a smaller footprint for the whole line.
Kinematics Matched to Stacking
- • Four axes are enough for palletizing: J1 to J3 place the tool and J4 orients the layer, with no redundant joints to tune.
- • A 2,403 mm reach covers a 1,200 mm pallet and the conveyor beside it, so the FANUC M-410iC/110 needs no linear track.
- • Floor mounting keeps the FANUC M-410iC/110 structure simple, and the 1,030 kg mass is well within the load capacity of a standard industrial slab.
- • Fewer axes also mean fewer servo drives, fewer calibration points and a lower maintenance workload over the cell life.
Stiff Structure for Square Layers
- • On the FANUC M-410iC/110, ±0.05 mm repeatability holds case edges in line, which prevents overhang and pallet rejection at the stretch wrapper.
- • A 550 kg capacity on the J2 base carries heavy layer grippers, and the J3 arm accepts up to 30 kg of tooling brackets.
- • Allowable wrist inertia of 53 kg·m² supports wide vacuum frames and fork grippers without exceeding the drive limits.
- • Because the payload and inertia limits are documented, gripper design for the FANUC M-410iC/110 can be fixed early in the project.
A Family That Grows with the Line
- • When the load grows, the M-410iC/185, /315 and /500 keep the same control concept at 3,143 mm reach.
- • Larger models can be ordered with a pedestal base that houses the controller, which removes cabling work at installation.
- • A compact base version lowers the maximum robot height for low-ceiling bays or for integration into an existing conveyor line.
- • Hollow wrists on the larger models and on the M-410iB/700 route gripper cables and air lines inside the arm.
- • iRVision is available as an option, so the same robot can depalletize mixed boxes by reading labels instead of fixed positions.
Applications
- • Carton palletizing at the end of a case packer, where the FANUC M-410iC/110 builds layers at line speed.
- • Bag palletizing for flour, feed, fertilizer and resin, using a fork or clamp gripper on the 110 kg wrist.
- • Depalletizing: the FANUC M-410iC/110 moves incoming cartons and trays onto a single-filer conveyor feeding a pick-and-place cell.
- • Layer palletizing with vacuum frames or slip-sheet grippers, supported by the 53 kg·m² wrist inertia allowance.
- • Pallet-to-pallet transfer and re-stacking in distribution centres, where boxes arrive on mixed pallets.
- • End-of-line cells in food, beverage and building-material plants running two or three shifts a day with the FANUC M-410iC/110.
- • Projects that later scale to heavier bags, where the FANUC M-410iC/110 can be replaced by the /185, /315 or /500 without redesigning the cell.
FAQ
What payload and reach does the FANUC M-410iC/110 offer?
110 kg on the wrist and a 2,403 mm reach on four axes, with ±0.05 mm repeatability to ISO 9283 and a mass of 1,030 kg without the controller.
Why only four axes instead of six?
Palletizing needs position and one orientation axis, so four axes cover the task with lower cost, fewer drives and simpler programming, while J4 still turns 720° at 420 °/s to square each layer.
How much tooling can be added?
On the FANUC M-410iC/110, up to 550 kg on the J2 base and 30 kg on the J3 arm, with an allowable wrist inertia of 53 kg·m²; the J3 limit depends on the load actually carried at the wrist.
Which larger models are available?
The M-410iC/185, /315 and /500 reach 3,143 mm, the M-410iB/140H is a five-axis unit at 2,850 mm with 140 kg, and the M-410iB/700 carries 700 kg at 3,143 mm.
What is the difference between pedestal and compact bases?
The pedestal base houses the controller underneath, which removes cabling work and saves floor space; the compact base minimises the robot maximum height for low ceilings or for building the robot into an existing line. Both are offered on the /185, /315 and /500.
Is a hollow wrist available?
Hollow wrists are used on the M-410iC/185, /315, /500 and the M-410iB/700, so gripper cabling and air lines can run inside the arm; on the FANUC M-410iC/110 the tool wiring is routed along the arm.
What are the site requirements?
A floor-mounted base on a slab sized for 1,030 kg of robot plus pallet loads, ambient temperature 0 °C to 45 °C, humidity normally below 75% RH with no dew or frost, and vibration of 4.9 m/s² (0.5 G) or less.
