FANUC has introduced the M-950iA heavyweight industrial robot capable of lifting 500 kg, including automotive components, construction materials and EV battery packs.

"Fitting between FANUC's M-900iB and M-1000iA families, the serial-link structured M-950iA/500 offers a much wider range of motion than standard parallel-link robots, offering flexibility that easily adapts to tight workspaces and variable layouts," said a company spokesperson.

A high-rigidity design makes it suited for payloads up to 500 kg and its reach of 2,830 mm is paired with a greater range of motion on the robot's J3 axis, allowing it to flip over backwards. Capable of handling large and heavy workpieces due to its strong wrist, the robot is also available with accuracy and stiffness enhancement option to maintain high accuracy even under the external force, making this suited for friction stir welding, drilling and riveting applications.

Features and benefits include:

• Six controlled axes
• 500 kg maximum payload
• A long 2,830 mm reach
• Serial link design with a wide J3 axis motion range and ability to flip over backwards
• High-performance servomotor drive system offering positioning repeatability of ±0.08 mm
• User-friendly FANUC iPendant teaching device and R-30iB Plus controller connectivity
• Accuracy and stiffness enhancement option available for high precision or where external forces may act on the robot.
