FANUC M-10iD/10L 10kg Payload 1636mm Reach Hollow Wrist Handling Robot 0.03mm

Overview

The FANUC M-10iD/10L is a six-axis handling robot that sits between the compact M-10iD/12 and the long-reach 8L. A 10 kg payload and 1636 mm reach handle medium parts, twin grippers and a wrist camera without overloading the arm, which is the usual limit when a shop tries to run two parts per cycle. Repeatability of 0.03 mm holds the pickup position through long shifts, so a twin gripper does not drift out of alignment with the fixture.

The hollow wrist keeps gripper cables and air lines inside the arm, removing the external loom that limits wrist rotation on a standard wrist. With IP67 at the wrist and IP54 or IP55 on the body, the arm works in cells with chips and coolant mist. The R-30iB Plus controller offers integrated upper-arm signals and air, so a double gripper can be plumbed and wired without extra cable carriers.

Typical installations are machine tending, press transfer and assembly handling, where the same cell runs several part families each week. Before dispatch we verify the tool centre point and run a dry cycle, and our engineers can advise on gripper design, part-present sensing, fencing and safety logic to meet CE or ANSI requirements.

Key Specifications

Key Advantages

• 10 kg payload supports a twin gripper or a gripper with an integrated wrist camera.
• 1636 mm reach covers a machine envelope plus the load station without a track.
• 0.03 mm repeatability keeps twin-gripper pick positions aligned through long shifts.
• The hollow wrist carries gripper cables and air inside the arm, allowing free wrist rotation.
• IP67 wrist and IP54 / IP55 body suit cells with chips, coolant mist and light wash-down.
• R-30iB Plus control with 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals simplifies double-gripper wiring.

Typical Applications

• CNC turning and milling machine tending with twin grippers
• Press tending and inter-press transfer
• Assembly handling of housings, covers and brackets
• Deburring and brushing with a wrist-mounted tool
• Vision-guided pick and place from bins
• End-of-line packing and carton handling

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What payload does the M-10iD/10L carry?
A: The rated payload at the wrist is 10 kg, which supports a twin gripper or a gripper with an integrated camera.

Q: What is the reach of the 1636 mm arm?
A: The 1636 mm reach covers a machine envelope plus the load station, so most cells need no linear track.

Q: Why does the hollow wrist matter for handling?
A: Gripper cables and air lines run inside the arm, so the wrist can rotate freely without an external loom winding up.

Q: How accurate is the repeatability?
A: Repeatability is 0.03 mm, which keeps twin-gripper pick and place positions aligned over long production shifts.

Q: What protection is provided?
A: The wrist is IP67 and the body IP54 or IP55, suiting cells with chips, coolant mist and light wash-down.

Q: Which controller is supplied?
A: The R-30iB Plus controller is standard, with 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals and one integrated air supply.

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

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.

When a cell runs twin grippers, the 10 kg payload, 1636 mm reach and hollow wrist of the M-10iD/10L are usually chosen together, because the second part is only free if the cabling stays inside the arm. Send us the machine envelope and gripper drawing and we will confirm reach, payload margin and cycle time. In daily use the M-10iD/10L handling robot typically runs a twin gripper in a two-machine cell, where the 1636 mm reach covers both load stations, the 10 kg payload absorbs the second part, and the 0.03 mm repeatability keeps both pick positions aligned; the hollow wrist keeps the cabling clear through every rotation.
