The Fanuc R-2000iA industrial robot with R-J3iB controller is a standard robot used by automotive companies worldwide. The R-2000iA has several variants making it suitable for a wide range of applications not only in automotive but in many other industries too. The R-2000iA has a very compact configuration which means that it can fit where many physically bigger robots would not. The R-2000iA has high payload capacity, reach and is among the fastest robot arms in its class. This makes the R-2000iA very useful in many applications such as Machine Tending, Welding, press tending, injection moulding and die casting where the ability to fit in confined spaces is important. The narrow wrist design also helps in this regard. The wrist of the R-2000iA has an IP rating of IP67 and the rest of the arm is IP54. The robotic arm is single sided; this allows the robot to “flip over” and work behind itself. Again this allows the R-2000iA to be useful in more applications than earlier generations of robot using a parallel arm design. Overall the arm is light, fast and compact without compromising on reach or payload. Some of the Applications are - Spot welding Part handling Grinding De-burring Finishing Polishing Inspection and testing MIG, TIG and laser welding Palletising Machine tending The R-2000iA comes with the Fanuc R-J3iB controller. Benefits of the R-J3iB include fast boot up time, excellent connectivity, powerful programming language, built in safety circuits, expandable I/O and profibus options. The R-J3iB is also very stable and reliable.
