FANUC America debuts new model of LR Mate tabletop robot

FANUC America has introduced the LR Mate 200iD/14L, the tenth model variation of the LR Mate series of tabletop industrial robots.

The LR Mate can process or handle parts weighing up to 14 kilograms in the automotive, e-commerce and warehousing, food and beverage, medical device, pharmaceutical and many other industries. Ten models include clean room and wash-proof versions, each with various wrist speeds and reaches to accommodate even the most limited workspace.

The LR Mate 200iD robots offer a work envelope for both upright and invert mount installations.

The LR Mate 200iD robot series also offers an ISO Class 4 clean room/food-grade variant for food handling and healthcare packaging applications.

These small tabletop robots can be equipped with a variety of intelligent features including robot vision and force sensing functionality for higher levels of accuracy and productivity.

The robot features a slim arm and compact footprint to minimize interference to peripheral devices in tight spaces. It’s available in three variations: standard, short and long arm. Wrist load capacity is four kilograms to 14 kilograms, with up to six-axis articulation.

The robot has an integrated thru-arm cable option for iRVision, force sensing, Ethernet and auxiliary axes, as well as flexible mounting (upright, invert, angle).•

Its standard IP67 rating allows operation in factory environments with dust and oil mist; many variants have an optional IP69K rating for wash proof, clean room or food grade environments.
