Robot cell machines, assembles parts intelligently
- Demonstrating intelligent part processing, three robots with vision will show a part machining system, and intelligent assembly with vision and force sensing, during the IMTS 2006.
- FANUC Robotics America's new M-710iC robot will perform intelligent part processing with vision in a machining system, and intelligent assembly with vision and force sensing during IMTS 2006 at McCormick Place in Chicago, USA.
- Three models in the new M-710iC robot series, combined with the iRVision 3D laser vision sensor will automate an intelligent part machining operation. This mini robot cell is a miniature version of an actual system running at FANUC, Japan, and is capable of 720h of unmanned operation.
- An M-710iC/50 Solution Arm robot with the iRVision 3D laser vision sensor will detect and pick up parts from a pile and place them onto a regrip stand.
- The M-710iC/50 will then detect the parts' position on the stand, and rearrange them for an M-710iC/50S robot, mounted on a rail axis, to pick the parts and load them to a FANUC a-T14iES Robodrill machining center.
- Finally, an M-710iC/70 will deburr, air-blow, and palletize the parts.
- The first cell will feature two M-710iC/50 robots, the FANUC FS-60 force sensor, and the iRVision 3D laser vision sensor.
- The first robot will then transfer the assembly to the LR Mate 200iB/5P which inserts bolts that have been delivered by an intelligent parts feeder using 2D vision.
- M-710iC Intelligent Robot - the M-710iC robot features six axes of motion, an extremely large work envelope, slim profile and small footprint.
- The versatile M-710iC robot offers three model variations with payloads ranging from 50kg to 70kg., and a reach of 1360mm to 2050mm.
- LR Mate mini-robot series - the LR Mate 200iB is a member of FANUC Robotics' popular LR Mate series of intelligent mini robots designed to handle small parts in a wide range of industries and working environments, including machine shops, and medical device, food, plastics, and clean room manufacturing.
- LR Mate 200iB has a slimmer arm than previous versions, which has further enhanced its reach and minimized interference.
- LR Mate 200iB robot, the series includes the LR Mate 100iB, LR Mate 200iB/5WP for the food industry, the LR Mate 200iB/5P for high-precision applications, the LR Mate 200iB/5WP waterproof robot for washing spraying and CNC grinding tending, and the LR Mate 200iB/5C robot.
