Fanuc M-20iA/35MT

If you’re look­ing for one of the strongest gantry robots on the mar­ket, then you’ve found it. The Fanuc M‑20iA/​35MT is a robot with high wrist iner­tia and max­i­mum ver­sa­til­i­ty in motion and appli­ca­tions. While this robot is typ­i­cal­ly used for appli­ca­tions that involve mul­ti­ple machines and need a larg­er work enve­lope, like machine tend­ing, it can be used for a vari­ety of mate­r­i­al han­dling, weld­ing, and dis­pens­ing applications.

The M20iA/​35MT will not only give you ver­sa­til­i­ty when it comes to motion and appli­ca­tions, it will also give you ver­sa­til­i­ty when it comes to floor space. Because the robot is an invert­ed, gantry mod­el, it is able to move along the pro­duc­tion line, instead of being bolt­ed into one spot in the floor, allow­ing it to not only have access to its sta­tion, but also oth­er sta­tions, or end-of-line tasks.

The design of the M 20iA/​35MT shows anoth­er advan­tage to the robot — a hol­low wrist design. This means that cables for the robot are rout­ed through the arm, instead of out­side it, which means there is less swing and snag dur­ing oper­a­tion. Plus, by rout­ing the cables and hoses through the arm, wear and tear decreas­es, sav­ing you mon­ey over the life of your robot.

As if all this was­n’t enough, the Fanuc M20iA/​35MT body and arm have an IP rat­ing of 54, which means it is dust-pro­tect­ed and pro­tect­ed from splash­ing water in any direc­tion. But that’s not all, the wrist and J3 axis have an IP67 rat­ing, kick­ing pro­tec­tion up a notch. This means the wrist and J3 axis are com­plete­ly pro­tect­ed from dust, and they can sur­vive immer­sion in water up to 1m. This means the M 20iA/​35MT can work in even the dirt­i­est of con­di­tions and run efficiently.

Equipped with an R‑30iB com­pact cab­i­net, with the option to pur­chase the larg­er B‑cabinet, and an iPen­dant touch, the M‑20iA/​35MT is one of the most intel­li­gent, ver­sa­tile, and strongest gantries in the Fanuc line.
