The robot has a 10 kg payload and a work envelope with a reach of 1,101 mm. The payload is 13 kg with a restricted envelope. FANUC described the robot as compact, saying that its an ideal solution for companies with limited floor space and that its slim arm fits into machine tools to load and unload parts. In addition, a fully enclosed structure features built-in airlines, solenoid valves, and electrical utilities for easy integration, and an IP67 rating allows it to operate in industrial environments with dust, water, and oil mist.
“The new LR-10iA/10 is a great solution to help manufacturers and distribution centers overcome obstacles associated with labor shortages, while improving throughput and reducing operating costs,” said Eric Potter, general manager of FANUC America’s general industries and automotive segment.
