- Controllers: [FANUC R-30iB Plus A-Cabinet](https://machineschema.com/controller/fanuc-r-30ib-plus-a-cabinet.md), [FANUC R-30iB Plus Mate Cabinet](https://machineschema.com/controller/fanuc-r-30ib-plus-mate-cabinet.md)

## Safety

- Painted surfaces are not suitable for sensitive food applications because damaged paint can chip and fall onto products.
- Secondary catch basins and viewing windows on all major axes’ reducers allow users to check for early grease/oil leaks before they escape the mechanical unit.
- Standard IP69K protection is intended for strict washdown environments.

## Study notes

- Delta robot with a classic parallel-link design.
- Four controlled axes; food-grade version standard.
- The DR-3iB/8L has the longest reach of the FANUC delta robot series at 1600 mm.
- Optional unpainted version uses electroless nickel plating surface treatment.
- Unpainted version has no springs, no stickers, no pocketed fasteners, and angled surfaces for self-draining.
- Secondary catch basins and viewing windows on all major axes’ reducers allow checking for early grease/oil leaks.
- Standard IP69K protection.
