FANUC America’s LR Mate 200iD/14L is the latest model variation of its LR Mate series of tabletop industrial . These robots are known for their lightweight, tabletop size, which is often compared to the size of a person’s arm.
The company says these robots can process or handle parts weighing up to 14 kg. There are 10 models — each with various wrist speeds and reaches to accommodate even limited workspaces.
The robots offer a work envelope for both upright and inverted mount installations. These small tabletop robots can be equipped with a variety of intelligent features, including robot vision and force sensing functionality.
The LR Mate 200iD features a slim arm and compact footprint to minimize interference to peripheral devices in tight spaces. It’s available in three variations (standard, short and long arm), and offers a 4kg to 14kg wrist load capacity with up to 6-axis articulation. The work envelope is designed to simplify system layout, while its joint axes speed maximizes system throughput. An integrated 24 VDC power, signal and air enables easy end-of-arm-tool connection, the company says.
The robot offers an integrated through-arm cable option for iRVision, force sensing, Ethernet and auxiliary axes. Flexible mounting enables upright, inverted and angle mounts. A high rigidity and advanced servo technology are said to enable smooth motion at high speeds. The machines feature a standard IP67 rating which enables operation in factory environments with dust and oil mist.
