FANUC M-10iD/12 12kg Payload 1441mm Reach IP67 Hollow Wrist Robot 0.02mm

Overview

The FANUC M-10iD/12 is the highest-payload standard model in the M-10iD range, and the one most often chosen when a cell has to handle a heavier gripper or a part with an offset centre of gravity. A 12 kg payload and 1441 mm reach cover most assembly and machine tending envelopes, and repeatability of 0.02 mm is tight enough for press-fit, bearing seating and gauging work where a few hundredths of a millimetre decide whether the part passes.

The hollow wrist keeps tooling cables and air lines inside the arm, so a rotating or indexing gripper does not pull an external loom around the wrist. The IP67 wrist and IP54 or IP65 body allow the arm to work near coolant, chips and light wash-down without extra covers. The R-30iB Plus controller supplies 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals and one air line, which is usually enough for a gripper plus a part-present sensor.

These robots are used in assembly, machine tending and inspection cells in automotive, appliance and general manufacturing plants. Each unit is checked for tool centre point and dry-cycled before dispatch, and our engineers can advise on gripper design, force sensing, guarding and safety logic to meet CE or ANSI requirements.

Key Specifications

Key Advantages

• A 12 kg payload handles a heavier gripper or an offset load without derating the arm.
• 0.02 mm repeatability suits press-fit, bearing seating and gauging work.
• 1441 mm reach covers a standard machine envelope plus the load station.
• The hollow wrist routes tooling cables and air inside the arm, allowing free wrist rotation.
• IP67 wrist and IP54 / IP65 body work near coolant, chips and light wash-down.
• R-30iB Plus control with 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals covers a gripper plus sensors.

Typical Applications

• Precision assembly of housings, covers and sub-assemblies
• CNC machine tending with heavier grippers
• Press-fit, bearing seating and insertion tasks
• Inspection and gauging with a wrist-mounted probe
• Appliance and electrical component handling
• Automotive tier-two assembly and testing cells

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What payload does the M-10iD/12 carry?
A: The rated payload at the wrist is 12 kg, which handles a heavier gripper or a part with an offset centre of gravity.

Q: What does 0.02 mm repeatability allow?
A: The arm returns to the taught point within 0.02 mm, which suits press-fit, bearing seating and gauging work where small deviations cause rejects.

Q: How much area does the 1441 mm reach cover?
A: The 1441 mm reach covers a standard machine envelope plus the load station, so most cells need no linear track.

Q: What protection is provided?
A: The wrist is IP67 and the body IP54 or IP65, allowing operation near coolant, chips and light wash-down.

Q: Which controller and power supply are used?
A: The R-30iB Plus controller is standard, with 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals and one air supply, on a 380-575 V three-phase supply.

Q: Can it be mounted upside down or at an angle?
A: Yes. Floor, upside-down and angled mounting are supported for reaching over machines and conveyors.

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

In a precision cell, the 12 kg payload, 1441 mm reach and 0.02 mm repeatability of the M-10iD/12 are usually specified together, because the gripper weight and the tolerance budget have to be met at the same time. Send us the part drawing and tolerance stack and we will confirm payload margin, gripper design and cycle time.
