2300kg Payload 3734mm Reach Heavy Payload Industrial Robot Arm IP67 Wrist

FANUC M-2000iA Super Heavy Payload Robot Arm Overview

• • The FANUC M-2000iA is a super heavy payload robot arm family rated from 900 kg to 2300 kg at the wrist.
• • Four models of the heavy payload robot arm cover the range, with 3734 mm reach on the high payload types and 4683 mm reach on the long arm types.
• • Vertical stroke reaches 4.6 m on the high payload models and 6.2 m on the long arm models, so the robot arm works over tall fixtures.
• • A wrist rated to IP67 equivalent resists dust and dips, which keeps the heavy payload robot arm running in foundry and casting cells.
• • Each industrial robot arm uses six AC servo controlled axes mounted on a floor base with 550 kg J2 and 50 kg J3 load capacity.
• • Integrated iRVision lets the robot arm locate parts without hard fixtures, cutting changeover time on mixed production runs.

Advantages of the M-2000iA Heavy Payload Robot Arm

• • Payload capacity of 2300 kg lets the heavy payload robot arm lift complete car bodies, large castings and welded frames.
• • Wrist allowable moment of 29400 N·m on the largest models keeps long tools and heavy grippers rigid on the robot arm during rotation.
• • The IP67 equivalent wrist survives dust, coolant and dip exposure, so the robot arm needs no extra bellows in foundries.
• • Floor mounted structure with 550 kg J2 and 50 kg J3 load ratings carries the reaction force that high inertia parts impose on the robot arm.
• • Four models, from 900 kg to 2300 kg, let one spare parts stock and one programming environment cover a whole plant.
• • iRVision guidance compensates part position error, so the industrial robot arm does not need dedicated locating fixtures.
• • Vertical stroke of 6.2 m on long arm models means the robot arm reaches over press lines and kiln walls without an added seventh axis.
• • AC servo drive on all six axes delivers repeatable positioning inside ±0.18 to ±0.27 mm for heavy part placement.

Applications

• • Foundries use the heavy payload robot arm to tend large casting machines and to extract parts from die casting dies.
• • Automotive assembly plants handle completed car bodies with the M-2000iA/1700L, a 1700 kg robot arm built for that duty.
• • Steel fabricators load and unload structural beams, plates and welded frames with the 2300 kg robot arm.
• • Precast concrete plants lift and position wall panels and moulds with the industrial robot arm, and the same robot arm sets steel moulds.
• • Press shops and forging lines transfer heavy blanks between stations with the floor mounted robot arm.
• • Aerospace and wind energy suppliers move large fixtures and blade segments with the long reach robot arm.
• • Glass and ceramic plants palletise heavy packs with vacuum tooling on the IP67 wrist robot arm.
• • Warehouse and port automation projects use the robot arm for heavy palletising and container loading.

FAQ

Q1. Which M-2000iA model fits a 1200 kg casting handling cell?

A: The M-2000iA/1200 covers 1200 kg payload, or 1350 kg with the reinforced option, over a 3734 mm reach, and this robot arm repeats to ±0.18 mm on ISO 9283 testing.

Q2. How does the IP67 equivalent wrist help in a foundry?

A: The sealed wrist resists dust ingress and short dip exposure, so the heavy payload robot arm keeps working next to casting machines where coolant and swarf are constant.

Q3. Can this robot arm be supplied with integrated vision?

A: Yes, iRVision is available on the M-2000iA series, and vision guidance removes the need for dedicated locating fixtures on mixed model lines.

Q4. What is included in one set?

A: One set contains the robot arm, the R-30iB series controller, the teach pendant, connecting cables and the standard documentation package.

Q5. What site conditions does the robot arm need?

A: Ambient temperature must stay between 0 and 45 °C, humidity at 75 %RH or less with 95 %RH short term allowed, and floor vibration at 4.9 m/s² or less.
