FANUC ROBOT

FANUC industrial robots for your production task

Select a FANUC robot and equipment set for the operation, workpiece and cell. For installed robots, send the model and component label for a parts enquiry.

FANUC CRX and CR collaborative robots

Define the operation, workpiece and cell before choosing a collaborative robot. CRX supports direct teaching by moving the arm and programming with a tablet.

CRX has six controlled axes.
Direct teaching uses the movement of the robot arm.
The matching controller depends on the CRX variant.

LR Mate, M-10 and M-20 small and medium robots

Consider these robot families for handling tasks and machine tending. Submit the combined workpiece and gripper mass, working envelope and intended mounting arrangement.

LR Mate, M-10 and M-20 are separate families.
The M-20 table lists /25-18D, /35-18D and /12-23D.
Those listed M-20 variants have six controlled axes.

FANUC SR SCARA and Delta robots

Match the task and required kinematics to the robot family. FANUC lists SR series SCARA and Delta separately; specify the full variant when defining a system or replacement.

SR SCARA payloads range from 3 to 20 kg.
The standard SR-3iA has four axes and a 3 kg payload.
SR-3iA/H differs from the standard SR-3iA.

Arc welding, painting and palletising robots

Define the process, workpiece and surrounding equipment before selecting a process robot. FANUC has distinct catalogue categories for arc welding, painting and large palletising robots.

Arc welding robots form a separate category.
Painting robots form a separate category.
Large palletising robots are listed separately.

Select a robot for the complete operation

Describe the production operation, the workpiece flow and the required result. Include the workpiece and gripper mass together, dimensions, surface details and the required orientation. For machine tending, provide the machine opening, work area and part exchange sequence. A complete description of the operation gives the robot selection a useful context within the surrounding production equipment.

State the target cycle and the way the result will be checked. Describe the operator actions and any manual loading stages. If the enquiry covers several cells, separate their purposes and installation conditions. Record each option as a defined combination of a robot family, operation and equipment list. The proposed configuration can then be compared against the production requirement rather than a series name alone.

Working envelope and cell layout

Send a cell plan showing the robot, machines, conveyors and other equipment. Mark pickup and placement points, heights and access routes. For a new installation, include representative workpiece positions; for a replacement, show the existing arrangement. Consider the gripper dimensions and attachments alongside the workpiece, as they also occupy space within the working envelope.

List any external axes, rotary tables, doors or guards included in the project. The responsible integrator defines equipment interaction and the safety assessment. ROBOGUIDE appears in the FANUC catalogue as a simulation tool and can be identified in the project brief when required. Agree the source models and the scope of simulation work with the integration contractor before treating simulation as a project deliverable.

Robot, controller and process equipment

Define whether the supply comprises an arm and controller, selected components or a cell with peripheral equipment. List the teaching pendant, connections, tooling and accessories. Match the controller to the particular robot variant. For an existing design, submit the approved specification and identify any equipment that will be supplied by the customer or retained from the current installation.

Give process equipment its own lines and manufacturer details. A welding source or gripper may form part of the same project, but it needs its own input information. FANUC lists iRVision, force control, ZDT and Dual Check Safety; identify the functions required by the application in the specification. This makes the configuration review specific enough to distinguish the robot from its surrounding technology and project services.

Arc welding, painting and palletising cells

For arc welding, describe the workpiece, material, weld positions and intended process equipment. For painting, state the product, process and installation conditions. For palletising, submit load dimensions, the stacking pattern and infeed equipment details. These inputs define the cell project and complement the requirements for the robot itself.

Separate the production objective from a preliminary choice of equipment. A selected model can be recorded as a firm requirement; when selection remains open, submit operating conditions and acceptance criteria. Site photographs and a material flow plan help define the equipment boundary. Record engineering, integration and operator training separately so that each part of the proposed scope can be discussed with the party responsible for it.

Technical confirmation before ordering

Combine the application requirements and the selected configuration into one controlled list. Record the full product designation, quantity and accessories for each item. Identify the documents and language versions required by the receiving party. Where several organisations contribute to the project, establish who confirms mechanics, controls and equipment acceptance.

Agree how completeness and the required parameters will be checked. Attach a cell diagram, signal list or sequence description when it forms part of the supply. Link acceptance requirements to the actual selected variant. The original brief, order specification and received equipment can then be compared on the same basis, without transferring data from another robot model or treating an optional function as part of every system.

Parts for an installed robot

Send the arm, controller and component labels for a replacement enquiry. Include the complete part number, quantity and installation location. For a cable or pendant, add connector photographs; for a mechanical component, identify the axis and the position on the assembly drawing. Clarify whether the request concerns a separate component or a complete assembly.

Allocate parts to individual installations when several robots are covered. Describe previous modifications so that the enquiry reflects the current system. Keep a service diagnosis separate from the purchase list. For a new robot project, spare items can be listed in a distinct section of the specification. This keeps the commissioning equipment and the operating spare stock identifiable throughout the enquiry and receiving process.

Export supply and receiving the equipment

State the destination country and city, requested delivery terms and the receiving organisation. Discuss the packing list and package identification for a multi-item set. If the robot and peripherals will be received by different departments, define how the items should be allocated. Submit transport requirements with the technical information so that the delivery scope can be assessed as a whole.

The order records the agreed products, quantities and conditions. Use the same item list for checking labels and accessories at receipt. For a staged project, identify the required sequence and the people responsible for technical confirmation. Keeping one specification linked to the selected configuration, shipment documents and received set supports a clear handover between purchasing, integration and the production site.

Availability, price, lead time, origin, documentation and compatibility are confirmed for the selected configuration. We do not claim official FANUC dealer status. Integration, programming and commissioning require a separately agreed scope.
