The Fanuc M-16i robot is engineered to provide maximum value and versatility. It features a compact and flexible design. The six-axis M-16iB is the latest generation, general purpose robot designed to support a variety of medium-payload manufacturing and system processes.
The M-16iB features the highest motion speeds in its class for maximum performance and productivity. An increase of 208 mm in stroke along with an increase of 62 mm in reach gives the M-16iB the largest working envelope in its class. The M-16iB's wrist has been reduced by 14 percent and the arm by six percent, allowing the robot to reach into extremely compact work areas. While the wrist and arm are smaller, the robot has enhanced loading capabilities. The wrist payload has been increased from 16 to 20 kilograms, putting it at the top of its class. Wrist moments have been increased 12-25 percent along with wrist inertia, which has been increased 4-26 percent. Rigidity and stiffness have also been increased to enhance the robot's performance in path-intensive processes. In addition, the height of the M-16iB has been reduced by 178 mm, providing more available work space.
The M-16iB uses Fanuc's R-J3iB Controller, which has the highest performance ever for Fanuc robot controllers with increased processing speed, memory, I/O and communication processor enhancements over the previous R-J3 controller. User application programs written for the R-J3 controller will run on the R-J3iB with little or no modifications, protecting investments in engineering developed using the R-J3 family of products. The M-16iB also supports the new i Pendant, an innovative color graphic user interface device to the Fanuc R-J3iB Controller that is based on Internet technology. |
