JOHN Hart Robotics and Automation says it is releasing the Fanuc M-2000iA super heavy payload robot to the Australian market.
The M-2000iA robot weighs almost 10t, and is said to be largest and strongest handling robot on the market currently.
John Hart says it is offering two variants of the Fanuc M-2000iA. The 900kg version has a maximum reach of 4.7m with a vertical stroke of 6.7m. The 1200kg version is said to have the most powerful robot wrist available, and with a software option the maximum payload soars to 1350Kg.
The Fanuc M-2000iA/1200 can transport loads of 1000kg up to 1055mm from the roll face of the wrist. The 14700nm wrist of the robot is IP-67 rated and can be safely utilised in many adverse environmental conditions.
With the software option, the M-2000iA/1350 can manoeuvre 1350kg at 66.6cm from the roll face.
According to John Hart, the M-2000iA robot series expands robotic automation into areas that previously were only deemed possible with heavy dedicated equipment or complex multiple coordinated robot systems.
Applications include heavy machine tending, handling of heavy zinc ingots, heavy brick load palletising and automotive body transfer.
The M-2000iA is controlled by Fanuc’s latest R-30iA robot controller, with features such as integrated iRVision and multiple robot control.
The R-30iA robot controller offers seamless communication to a wide range of industry standard protocols such as Device Net, Profibus DP, Modbus and Ethernet IO.
