Fanuc Robotics - The Industry Leader

When it comes to indus­tri­al robots, Fanuc Robot­ics is one of the best known names in the indus­try. The com­pa­ny sup­plies coun­tries around the world, sell­ing well over 250,000 to date. 

The com­pa­ny designs and man­u­fac­tures Fanuc robots to per­form a wide vari­ety of appli­ca­tions includ­ing arc and spot weld­ing, mate­r­i­al han­dling, mate­r­i­al removal, assem­bly, and dis­pens­ing. In addi­tion to the robots pro­duced, the com­pa­ny also devel­ops con­trollers, soft­ware, and oth­er prod­ucts that go hand-in-hand with their state-of-the-art machinery.

For over 40 years, Fanuc has been sup­ply­ing world-wide indus­try with the tech­nol­o­gy and equip­ment they need to pro­duce some of the high­est qual­i­ty prod­ucts in the world.

Fanuc Robot­ics start­ed out as part of the Fujit­su Cor­po­ra­tion and the name is actu­al­ly an acronym that stands for Fuji Auto­mat­ic Numer­i­cal Control. They have been pro­duc­ing high-qual­i­ty robot­ics since 1972 and are one of the pri­ma­ry robot sup­pli­ers to both the Japan­ese and Unit­ed States auto­mo­bile industry.

In 1992, Fanuc LTD in Japan bought out Gen­er­al Motor’s shares of GMFanuc (GMF), a part­ner­ship between GM and Fanuc, and GMFanuc became Fanuc Robot­ics North America.

Fanuc Robot­ics Amer­i­ca Corp. now has its head­quar­ters in Rochester Hills, MI with region­al offices in:

• Char­lotte, NC
• Chica­go, IL
• Cincin­nati, OH
• Los Ange­les, CA
• Toron­to, Canada
• Mon­tréal, Canada
• Aguas­calientes, Mexico
• Sao Paulo, Brazil

As a leader in the robot­ic indus­try, Fanuc has won many awards in the past, includ­ing the Nissan’s World­wide Glob­al Inno­va­tion Award, and sev­er­al recent awards, includ­ing the 2011 & 2012 Lead­er­ship in Pack­ag­ing from Pack­ag­ing World Mag­a­zine, the 2011 Automa­tion World’s Lead­er­ship in Automa­tion Award, the Auto­mo­tive Indus­tries Quest for Excel­lence Award, and the Hen­ry Ford Tech­nol­o­gy Award.

Fanuc has also been added to many lists, includ­ing the 2012 Thomp­son Reuters Top 100 Glob­al Inno­va­tors the 2012 Detroit Free Press Top 100 Work­places, and the com­pa­ny was named one of the world’s most inno­v­a­tive com­pa­nies by Forbes Mag­a­zine.

Few oth­er com­pa­nies have done as much to inno­vate and advance the field of robot­ics as Fanuc. Whether a com­pa­ny is look­ing for a robot to han­dle weld­ing, instal­la­tion, or anoth­er spe­cial­ty appli­ca­tion, the com­pa­ny has a qual­i­ty, reli­able solu­tion to fit the customer’s needs.

The robots they pro­duce have become so pop­u­lar among a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent lead­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers because they deliv­er out­stand­ing results on a con­sis­tent basis. These robots can work sev­en days a week, 24 hours a day non­stop. A lit­tle time spent with one of these high-qual­i­ty machines and it is no won­der that this com­pa­ny is one of the world’s largest robot­ic manufacturers.

Many com­pa­nies invest in Fanuc Robot­ics indus­tri­al arms for their own projects. Shell Oil worked with Fanuc in the past to devel­op solar pan­els. Anoth­er lead­ing elec­tron­ics man­u­fac­tur­er was able to pro­duce two mil­lion tele­vi­sions ever month with only 15 peo­ple on the work­force, due to Fanuc’s robot­ic automation.

Fanuc has part­nered with many com­pa­nies like GM over the years to expand their prod­uct base fur­ther. Com­pa­nies like Bio­ma­tion and Robot­ic Pro­duc­tion Tech­nol­o­gy have teamed up with Fanuc in the past to devel­op Fanuc’s sys­tems and sell them to new markets.

Any com­pa­ny or man­u­fac­tur­er in the mar­ket for indus­tri­al robot should put a Fanuc robot at the top of the list. These machines can also be pur­chased used from retail­ers, like Robots​.com, that under­stand exact­ly how to help com­pa­nies get the most from these pieces of equip­ment. Buy­ing a refur­bished robot is an excel­lent choice for any com­pa­ny that is inter­est­ed in indus­tri­al automa­tion and adding a robot to their man­u­fac­tur­ing process with­out the expense asso­ci­at­ed with a brand-new unit. A used Fanuc robot is also an excel­lent choice because they are ful­ly refur­bished and come with a full warranty.
