Power and Force Limiting Collaborative Robots

FANUC America has expanded its line of easy to use collaborative robots to include six models. FANUC’s series of power and force limiting collaborative robots can handle 4-35 kg payloads and a 550-1813 mm reach. 

Easy to program and use – even for those with little or no experience - FANUC’s cobots are equipped with FANUC’s iHMI intuitive touch screen user interface that includes step-by-step programming instructions right from the teach pendant. Simple and straightforward programming helps reduce costs associated with operator training, minimizes setup time and increases system productivity. In addition, FANUC’s Hand Guidance feature allows operators to teach a collaborative robot by leading it through paths at the press of a button and/or use it to lift heavy objects manually. 

FANUC’s six cobot models combine world-renowned automation technology, proven reliability and sensitive built-in sensors that allow them to work safely alongside people in a variety of industrial/manufacturing jobs, including machine tending, dispensing, inspection, kitting, palletizing and e-commerce. In addition, FANUC’s collaborative robots are equipped with intelligent options such as iRVision and force sensing. 

“We offer the industry’s widest range of collaborative robots in terms of payload, reach and speed options,” said Amanda Nixon, collaborative robot product manager, FANUC America. “In addition, our cobots are very easy to program with FANUC’s Hand Guidance or the iHMI touch screen, and provide easy plug-and-play for intelligent options like vision and force sensing.”
