The ceiling-mounted, fast and precise FANUC SR-3iA/U robot eliminates the so-called ‘dead zone’ that conventional SCARA robots typically suffer. No space is lost in the center of the work envelope as the entire workspace underneath the arm can be utilised. Furthermore, the design and specification of the SR-3iA/U make it a cost-effective, easy-to-configure alternative to more costly delta robots in a host of assembly, packaging and material handling applications. With a push-down force of 150 N, the robot can fulfil a myriad of ‘pick and place’ material handling and packaging applications thanks to its very high-speed capabilities.
