FANUC R-2000iC/165F Alternatives & Competitors

The Fanuc R-2000iB/210F is a floor-mounted robot with an extremely high payload, 2655mm horizontal reach, and six degrees of freedom. It is great for a variety of applications, such as material handling, welding, dispensing, and material removal.

The R-2000iB/210F has a slim arm and wrist which helps it fit into confined and hard to reach places, giving manufacturers even more versatility when planning their applications. This also helps to reduce interference with system peripherals. Despite the slim arm, the R-2000iB/210F has a very large work envelope with the ability to reach overhead and behind.

The KAWASAKI BX100L is a robust industrial robot designed for high-speed spot welding applications. With a payload capacity of 100 kg and a maximum reach of 2597 mm, it falls under the category of large robots capable of handling significant loads. One of its standout features is its hollow wrist, which houses cables and hoses, thereby reducing wear and tear and improving the robot's longevity. This design makes it particularly suited for managing small to medium-sized weld guns efficiently.

In terms of capabilities, the BX100L excels in spot welding, but it is also versatile enough to be used in assembly and material handling applications. Its precision and speed make it a valuable asset in production lines where efficiency and accuracy are paramount. The BX100L can easily replace older, less efficient robots, offering an upgrade in performance and reliability.

Applications for the KAWASAKI BX100L include car body assembly and auto body spot welding, as demonstrated in industry events like iREX2015. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing production setups, combined with its optimized performance for spot welding tasks, makes it a preferred choice in automotive manufacturing and other industries requiring precise, high-speed welding solutions.
