FANUC M-10iD/8L 8kg Payload 2032mm Long Reach Handling Robot IP67 Wrist 0.03mm

FANUC M-10iD/8L 8kg Payload 2032mm Long Reach Handling Robot IP67 Wrist 0.03mm

Overview

The FANUC M-10iD/8L is a six-axis handling robot with the longest reach in the M-10iD family. Its 2032 mm reach lets one arm serve two machines or a wide pallet pattern without a linear track, while the 8 kg payload covers a gripper, camera and vacuum or magnetic tooling. Repeatability of 0.03 mm keeps pick and place positions stable, which matters when parts have tight bore or pin clearances.

The hollow wrist routes tooling cables and air lines inside the arm, so a rotating gripper does not wind up an external loom. With an IP67 wrist the arm can reach into machine enclosures exposed to coolant mist and chips, and the IP54 body suits normal shop conditions. The R-30iB Plus controller provides integrated upper-arm signals and an air supply, reducing the cabling needed when the gripper is changed.

These robots are commonly used for machine tending, palletizing and pick and place in job shops and tier-two automotive plants, where changeover between part families happens several times a week. We verify tool centre point and run a dry cycle before dispatch, and can advise on gripper design, fencing, light curtains and safety logic so the cell meets CE or ANSI requirements.

Key Specifications

Key Advantages

• A 2032 mm reach serves two machines or a wide pallet pattern from one fixed base.
• 8 kg payload covers a gripper, vision camera and vacuum or magnetic tooling together.
• 0.03 mm repeatability keeps insertion and placement positions stable over long runs.
• The hollow wrist routes gripper cables and air lines inside the arm, preventing cable wind-up.
• IP67 wrist allows the arm to reach into enclosures with coolant mist and chips.
• R-30iB Plus control with 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals simplifies gripper changeover.

Typical Applications

• CNC lathe and machining centre tending
• Palletizing cartons, billets and machined parts
• Pick and place between conveyors and fixtures
• Press tending and stamping line transfer
• Inspection and gauging with a wrist-mounted camera
• Packaging and case packing at end of line

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What payload does the M-10iD/8L carry?
A: The rated payload at the wrist is 8 kg, enough for a gripper, camera and vacuum or magnetic tooling on one flange.

Q: How far does the 2032 mm reach extend?
A: The 2032 mm reach lets one robot serve two machines or a wide pallet pattern without adding a linear track.

Q: What does 0.03 mm repeatability mean here?
A: The arm returns to the taught point within 0.03 mm, so insertion, gauging and placement positions stay stable over long production runs.

Q: Why is an IP67 wrist useful?
A: The IP67 wrist lets the arm reach into machine enclosures where coolant mist and chips are present, while the IP54 body suits normal shop conditions.

Q: Which controller and power supply are used?
A: The R-30iB Plus controller is standard and the robot runs on a 380-575 V three-phase supply at 50 or 60 Hz.

Q: Can it be mounted upside down or at an angle?
A: Yes. Floor, upside-down and angled mounting are supported, which helps when the arm has to reach over a machine or conveyor.

Q: What is included with the unit?
A: Manipulator, R-30iB Plus controller, cables, documentation and a test report. Gripper and fixtures are quoted to suit the part.

Q: How is it shipped and supported?
A: It ships in an export wooden crate with shock absorbing packing, with commissioning guidance, spare parts and remote diagnostics available.

If a cell needs one robot to cover two machines, the 8 kg payload, 2032 mm reach and IP67 wrist of the M-10iD/8L are usually specified together, because reach is only useful if the gripper and cabling survive the enclosure. Send us the machine layout and part drawings and we will confirm whether a fixed base or a track is the better choice. In daily use the M-10iD/8L handling robot is normally paired with a two-machine cell, where the 2032 mm reach serves both doors, the 8 kg payload carries a dual gripper, and the 0.03 mm repeatability keeps the pick position aligned; the IP67 wrist is what allows all of that inside an enclosure with coolant mist.
