To minimize maintenance and replacement costs, the cables and hoses required for spot welding are secured inside the robot arm. This also results in easier offline programming, since cables do not need to be simulated. The FANUC R2000iA/165EW does not have a counter weight, decreasing its footprint. Combine its 2650mm reach, its ability to reach overhead and behind, and its heavy payload capability, and the FANUC R 2000iA/165EW is ideal for spot welding, assembly, and material handling applications.
