FANUC’s new large material
handling robot, the M-1000iA, can lift and
manipulate heavy loads with more versatility - The M-1000iA is
FANUC’s largest robot to feature a serial link
mechanism, rather than the parallel link mechanism typical
of heavy payload robots. As a result, the M-1000iA has a wider
range of motion in both vertical and longitudinal
directions, allowing the arm to stand upright and rotate
backwards, which is impossible with parallel link robots.
This capability provides users with extended versatility
across a wide range of handling applications.
