The R-2000 range's all-round model, the flexibility offered by this 6 axis high-payload model sets new standards in almost every industry. Equipped with a thin wrist and capable of delivering excellent cycle times, it makes a nimble spot welding robot on automotive and similar applications. It has also been designed to maximise use of space and enable it to work in close proximity to other robots.

Offering high performance in a small footprint, the FANUC M-20iD/25 is ideally suited to loading and unloading machines as well as parts handling and positioning in crowded factory environments. For best access, it features a compact arm and wrist and, thanks to its new improved design and drive train, offers significantly higher axis speeds and motion performance. With an increased active stroke of 1831 mm, it offers a generous working envelope, with better rigidity translating to improved repeatability of ± 0.02 mm. To prevent snagging and improve reliability, cable routing is internal. By combining performance with reliability, the FANUC M-20iD/25 maximises throughput leading to higher profitability. Installation is easy and running costs are low.

Featuring a huge 210 kg payload, this model is ideally suited to any number of heavy handling jobs on almost any application. With numerous mounting options available to make best use of space and create an optimal work envelope, it makes an excellent spot welding robot. Additional options make it suitable for food processing applications or wet environments.

The KUKA KR 360 is a heavy duty robot with a lot of options! This Kuka KR 360 KR C2 arm has a generous payload of 360 kg and a long reach of 2826 mm. The KR 360 Kuka robot can be floor or ceiling mounted to allow for effective use of existing floorspace. A foundry version of the KR 360 KR C2 is available for volatile conditions. These variants are heat and water resistant. The Kuka KR 360 heavy duty robot is highly adaptable to cleanroom use and other ambient conditions.

Short cycle times, combined with high accuracy, make the KUKA KR 5 Sixx an excellent choice for many assembly applications. A compact arm with a 5 kg payload, the KR 5 Sixx is available with two reach options: 650 mm and 850 mm. The high-speed arm has six axes and can be mounted on the floor or on the ceiling. A high-performance KUKA PC-based controller makes the KR 5 Sixx KR C2 SR easy to program and operate. The KUKA small robot line is ideal for applications that require precision and speed. The power and fluid lines of the KR 5 Sixx KR C2 SR are integrated into the robots to reduce interference. The KR 5 sixx can also be ordered with an optional dust- and splash-proof package that results in a rating of IP65. The low weight and fist-shaped envelope of this arm results in quick performance, even in confined work areas.

The KUKA KR 20-3 is proud to provide an increased payload while maintaining its excellent versatility. It is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications and industries from handling, automotive, or loading and unloading of a machine, to name a few. It can be mounted on the floor or ceiling to provide added flexibility while using its 20 kg payload and 1610 mm reach. It will be paired with the KR C4 controller.

If your low-payload application requires a long,extended reach, then consider the KR 16 L6-2. It has a reach of 1911 mm, payload of 6 kg, and mounting options of floor or ceiling. It is sure to bring your production line ultimate efficiency. This robot is paired with the KR C4 controller.

This innovative series of lightweight robots features a slim wrist, rigid arm and small footprint. With its offset wrist design it is ideal for grinding and polishing applications. This 6-axis medium payload model is the perfect choice for the versatile handling of large and heavier workpieces and a popular robot for machine tending, grinding, polishing, deburring, water jet cutting and washing applications.

With its slim design and small footprint, this model saves precious floor space and is ideally suited to compact cells. And thanks to its speed and 5th axis, it makes a great choice on palletising applications requiring high rates of throughput and maximum reliability.
