Fanuc M-10iD/8L Industrial Robot

The Fanuc M-10iD/8L is another model from the M-10iD series of industrial robots developed by Fanuc Corporation. Similar to the M-10iD/12, the M-10iD/8L is designed for small part handling and assembly applications. However, there are some differences between the two models.

Here are the key features and specifications of the Fanuc M-10iD/8L:

1. Payload Capacity: The M-10iD/8L has a payload capacity of 8 kilograms (17.64 pounds). It can handle objects weighing up to 8 kg during its operation.

2. Reach: The robot has a maximum reach of 1410 millimeters (55.5 inches). This refers to the maximum distance the robot arm can reach from its base.

3. Compact Design: The M-10iD/8L shares the compact design characteristic of the M-10iD series, making it suitable for applications where space is limited. Its small footprint allows for easy integration into production lines or workcells.

4. Six Axes: The robot features six axes of motion, providing flexibility and dexterity to perform various tasks. It can move in multiple directions, allowing it to reach objects from different angles.

5. High-Speed Operation: Similar to other models in the M-10iD series, the M-10iD/8L is designed for high-speed operation, which enhances productivity and reduces cycle times in manufacturing processes.

6. R-30iB Plus Controller: The robot is typically paired with Fanuc's R-30iB Plus controller, which offers advanced motion control, programming capabilities, and integrated safety features.

7. Integrated Vision System: The M-10iD/8L can be equipped with an integrated vision system, such as Fanuc's iRVision, which enables the robot to perform tasks based on visual feedback. This feature is particularly useful for applications that require part recognition, inspection, or precise positioning.

8. Easy Programming: Fanuc robots provide user-friendly programming interfaces. The M-10iD/8L can be programmed using Fanuc's TP (Teach Pendant) programming language or through offline programming software like Roboguide.

9. Safety Features: The robot is equipped with various safety features, including collision detection, safety-rated stop functions, and safety interlock systems to ensure safe operation in an industrial environment.

The Fanuc M-10iD/8L is suitable for a range of applications that require precise and agile robotic manipulation, such as pick and place, material handling, assembly, and machine tending. Its compact size, payload capacity, and high-speed operation make it a versatile choice for automation in industries like automotive, electronics, consumer goods, and more.
