FANUC Introduces Two New Robots in Automotive Body Structure Joining Demonstration

Описание: Automotive joining: http://robot.fanucamerica.com/Product...

FANUC America is proud to announce the release of two new robot models to its industry-leading line of industrial robots – the new high speed FANUC M-20iB/25 robot and the new heavy duty FANUC M-900iB/280 robot.

In this demonstration of these robot’s capabilities, the two new FANUC robot models work together in an automotive body structure joining application. First, the new FANUC M-20iB/25 quickly picks a reinforcement plate from a fixture. The robot uses FANUC iRVision to locate the part in its gripper, and then accurately places it on the inside of a fixtured automotive door panel.

Next, the new heavy duty FANUC M-900iB/280 with 280 kg payload moves into position and simulates a flow form screw (or FFS) joining process on the plate and the door. This robot’s casting shape has been optimized to provide enhanced arm rigidity, compact size and heavy payload capacity for applications in aerospace, powertrain, engines, truck and bus frames, various castings, molded parts, glass, and building materials.

Once the FFS joining process is complete, the M-20iB/25 picks the plate from the door, places it back on the nest, and the process repeats. The new FANUC M-20iB/25 is a high-speed six-axis material handling robot with a 25 kg payload and 1853 mm reach. It offers a rigid and compact design with sealed structure, rated IP67 for work in harsh work environments. It includes a rear or bottom exit for cables, and a 21% increase in axis speed compared to the previous model.

FANUC America is the world leader in integrated process control solutions for alternative joining techniques and mixed materials such as clinching, tacking, self-pierced rivet, FFS, and more. To learn more please visit http://www.fanucamerica.com
