FANUC M-950iA/500 high-rigidity heavy-payload 6-axis articulated robot with R-30iB Plus controller

FANUC M-950iA/500 with R-30iB Plus controller is a high-rigidity heavy-payload 6-axis articulated robot from the M-950 family. It has a rated wrist payload of 500 kg and a maximum working reach of 2830 mm.

The M-950 family is part of FANUC's range of high-rigidity heavy-payload robots. It is intended for large component handling, assembly and demanding industrial transfer operations. The mechanical configuration of this model is identified as Standard, allowing the robot to be selected for a clearly defined combination of payload, reach and installation layout.

This model uses 6 controlled axes and has a published positioning repeatability of ±0.08 mm. Its stated mounting arrangement is floor. Final payload capacity must be checked against the complete tool, workpiece, center-of-gravity and inertia data rather than the nominal wrist payload alone.

Controller compatibility: the model is listed for the R-30iB Plus control generation. For CMS classification, all supported cabinet forms are consolidated under the single controller name R-30iB Plus. Electrical supply, cabinet size, safety options, fieldbus interfaces, software packages and regional availability still have to be confirmed for the exact robot order code.

Typical applications

• advanced manufacturing
• handling of parts
• loading and unloading of parts
• press tending

For a Eurobots project, FANUC M-950iA/500 can be evaluated for new automation, controller-standardization studies, replacement projects, process trials and complete robotic cells. Engineering approval should be based on the exact mechanical-unit specification, load diagram, mounting orientation, environmental option and controller software release.
