Content Type  Parallel-link robot designed to maximize speed and flexibility for assembly, small part handling and picking applications.
Fanuc Robotics America Inc. has introduced the M-3iA robot--a larger version of the company's M-1iA robot introduced last year. Available in a four- or six-axis model, the M-3iA offers the same unique parallel-link structure, is lightweight and portable, and accommodates payloads up to 6kg. Its work envelope is a sizable 1350mm x 500mm.

The M-3iA six-axis model has a three-axis, patent-pending wrist for complex assembly tasks. The flexibility offered by the three-axis wrist enables the robot to pick up and insert parts at simple or compound angles, and twist parts into place, similar to the flexibility offered by a manual operator.

A four-axis M-3iA has a single-axis wrist for simple assembly and high-speed picking operations, offering speeds up to 4000 degrees per second.  In addition, a hollow wrist allows hoses and cables to be routed internally, which minimizes wear and tear on the tooling cables.  

Other features include:
  • Food option with food-grade grease features a special coating to handle acid and alkaline disinfectants, and low-pressure rinsing.
  • Ability to work with primary (unpackaged) or secondary (packaged) food products.
  • IP67 rating for the entire robot means the robot is waterproof and can withstand harsh environments, including dust and oil mist.
  • Integrated (built-in) Vision
