Strong FANUC SCARA robot withstands cleaning procedures
New SR-12iA / C with 12kg payload is ideal in food and cleanroom applications .
With attributes that include an ISO Class 5 cleanroom rating , IP65 protection rating , food-grade lubricant and anti-rust bolts , the new FANUC SR-12iA / C is the perfect solution for food plants and cleanrooms . In fact , any material handling , assembly , inspection or picking / packaging application that requires a cleaning procedure will benefit from this strong food-grade SCARA robot .
Alongside its robust construction , corrosion resistance , ease of cleaning and compliance with food safety regulations , the FANUC SR- 12iA / C offers ultra-fast operation in all four controlled axes to provide a reliable and efficient solution for food companies . Notably , the SR-12iA / C features a marketdifferentiating bellow to protect the Z-axis spindle during washdown procedures . Those operating cleanrooms in sectors such as advanced engineering , optics , laser and pharmaceuticals , can also tap into the robot ’ s many advantages .
Another key feature of the robot is its white epoxy coating for extra durability in extreme environments , while its IP65 rating guarantees protection against contaminants such as water spray and certain quantities of dust and other particles . NSF-H1 food-grade lubricant in all axes and anti-rust bolts further support its use food handling applications .
The FANUC SR-12iA / C features a strong arm , offering 12 kg maximum payload at the wrist ( twice that of the company ’ s existing food-grade SCARA robot ) and 900 mm of reach , all available at a highly competitive price-to-performance ratio . Fast cycle times arrive courtesy of highspeed motion in all axes : 440 °/ s and 510 °/ s respectively in the rotary J1 and J2 axes ; 2800mm / s in the linear J3 axis ; and 2500 °/ s in J4 ( wrist rotation ).
But none of this comes at the expense of precision . In fact , the floor- or wall-mountable FANUC SR-12iA / C SCARA robot delivers repeatability of ± 0.01mm in J1 , J2 and J3 , with J4 offering ± 0.005 ° for next-level accuracy . Moreover , the wrist offers ± 720 ° of motion as standard , with continuous rotation available as an option .
Fully integrated services are yet another benefit . I / O , 24VDC supply , solenoid valves and air lines all run internally , reducing costs and simplifying integration . Furthermore , an ultra-compact footprint and robot design minimise potential interference with peripheral devices , allowing factories and system integrators to construct smaller automated cells .
A web-based user interface ( iRProgrammer ) provides users with fast , intuitive , platformindependent set-up , jogging , teaching and programming via a tablet or PC . This cost-effective and simple approach negates the need for an iPendant touch teach pendant or any software downloads .
