The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot is a 6-axis industrial robot with a payload capacity of 70 kg and a reach of 2050 mm. It is an innovative model featuring a slim wrist, a rigid arm and a small footprint. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as handling, packaging, welding, assembly and dispensing.
BENEFITS
The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot has several benefits that make it stand out from other robots in its class. Some of these are:
Speed and motion performance: The robot has very high axis speeds and robust, customised motors and gearboxes for excellent performance and unmatched reliability.
Outstanding repeatability: The robot has a repeatability of ± 0.04 mm, enabling it to perform accurate and consistent operations.
Versatility and flexibility: The robot can handle large workpieces, such as glass or steel plates, thanks to its high payload and long reach. It can also work in confined spaces, as it has floor, upside down or angle mounting options. In addition, there is a top-mounted version (M-710iC/70T) which is the lightest in the range and saves space.
Advanced controller: The robot is equipped with the R-30iB Plus controller, which offers a more flexible appearance, improved user interaction with the new iHMI, configuration guides for programming and more memory for increased productivity. The controller also provides access to customised FANUC accessories and software options, such as iRPickTool or DCS safety software.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot can be used in different industrial sectors, such as automotive, metallurgy, electronics, food or pharmaceuticals. Some of the most common applications are:
Handling: The robot can load and unload heavy or bulky parts onto machines or conveyors, as well as perform palletising or depalletising tasks.
Packaging: The robot can pack light or fragile products in boxes or trays, as well as apply labels or seals.
Welding: The robot can accurately and quickly arc or spot weld metal parts.
Assembly: The robot can assemble electronic or mechanical components with dexterity and accuracy.
Dispensing: The robot can apply adhesives, sealants or coatings to surfaces or edges with uniformity and control.
EXAMPLES OF CASE STUDIES
The Fanuc M-710iC/70 robot has been successfully used by several companies to improve their production processes. Some examples are:
A window manufacturing company used the robot to handle sheets of laminated glass weighing up to 60 kg and place them on a cutting machine. The robot reduced cycle time by 40% and eliminated ergonomic risks for operators.
A food production company used the robot to pack trays of fresh produce into boxes. The robot increased production capacity by 25% and improved packaging quality by preventing product damage.
An automotive parts supplier used the robot to spot weld metal components. The robot increased productivity by 30% and reduced defects by 50% by ensuring consistent and accurate welding.
