ROBOT New product: FANUC Robot SR-3iA/U

FANUC has developed and started sales of the ceiling-mounted SCARA robot SR-3iA/U (3-kg payload, 350-mm reach).

• This robot's greatest advantage is "no dead zone," meaning that there is no space within the arm's reach where the arm's tip cannot go. As a ceiling-mounted robot has a work envelope directly beneath itself, there is no need to consider floor space for installation.
• The distance from the ceiling where the robot is mounted to the tip of the arm is as short as 440 mm when the robot is at the top of the elevating axis. Its low height allows the entire system to be miniaturized.
• The robot is optimal for transporting small parts between production lines and for assembly work in small spaces.
• An additional model has solenoid valves for air built into the arm, which facilitates the construction of systems that use air-driven devices.
• By specifying an optional bellows that protects the elevating axis of the tip of the arm and an optional gasket for the arm covering, the robot can be outfitted with IP65 water and dust resistance.

SR-3iA/U helps to enhance customer productivity through its compact body and agile movements.
