FANUC M-20iD/25 25kg Payload 1831mm Reach Hollow Wrist Handling Robot 0.02mm

Overview

The FANUC M-20iD/25 is a medium-heavy handling robot built around a hollow wrist. A 25 kg payload takes a heavy double gripper, a magnetic lifter or a vacuum plate with several cups, while the 1831 mm reach covers a pallet stack and a machine load station in one arc. Repeatability of 0.02 mm is tighter than most handling work needs, which is exactly what makes the same arm usable for gauging, press transfer and fixture loading where position decides pass or fail.

Because the wrist is hollow, gripper cables and air lines run inside the arm, so a rotating or tilting tool does not fight an external loom and the wrist can index freely over a pallet. The IP67 wrist and IP54 or IP65 body allow operation near coolant, chips and light wash-down. The R-30iB Plus controller supplies 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals and one integrated air line, enough for a gripper plus part-present sensing.

Typical cells are palletizing, machine tending and heavy pick and place in foundries, metalworking shops and tier-two automotive plants. Each robot is checked for tool centre point and dry-cycled before dispatch, and our engineers can advise on gripper design, layer patterns, light curtains and safety logic for CE or ANSI compliance.

Key Specifications

Key Advantages

• 25 kg payload carries a heavy double gripper, magnetic lifter or multi-cup vacuum plate.
• 0.02 mm repeatability supports gauging, press transfer and fixture loading as well as palletizing.
• 1831 mm reach covers a pallet stack and the machine load station from one base.
• The hollow wrist keeps gripper cabling and air inside the arm, allowing free wrist indexing over a pallet.
• IP67 wrist and IP54 / IP65 body suit foundry and machining cells with dust, chips and coolant.
• R-30iB Plus control with 8 in / 8 out upper-arm signals covers a gripper plus part-present sensing.

Typical Applications

• Palletizing of castings, billets and machined parts
• CNC and machining centre tending with heavy grippers
• Press tending and hot part transfer
• Foundry handling of castings after shakeout
• Heavy pick and place between conveyors and bins
• Fixture loading and gauging of large components

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What payload does the M-20iD/25 carry?
A: The rated payload at the wrist is 25 kg, enough for a heavy double gripper, magnetic lifter or multi-cup vacuum plate.

Q: What is the reach of the 1831 mm arm?
A: The 1831 mm reach covers a pallet stack and the machine load station, so most cells need no linear track.

Q: Why does 0.02 mm repeatability matter on a handling robot?
A: The arm returns to the taught point within 0.02 mm, which allows gauging, press transfer and fixture loading in addition to palletizing.

Q: What does the hollow wrist change?
A: Gripper cables and air lines run inside the arm, so the wrist can index freely over a pallet without an external loom winding up.

Q: What protection is provided?
A: The wrist is IP67 and the body IP54 or IP65, which suits foundry and machining cells with dust, chips and coolant.

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.

Where a cell handles both pallets and machined parts, the 25 kg payload, 1831 mm reach and 0.02 mm repeatability of the M-20iD/25 are usually specified together, because the same gripper has to be accurate as well as strong. Send us the part weight, gripper drawing and pallet pattern and we will confirm payload margin and cycle time.
