FANUC M-1iA/0.5SL

The M-1iA/0.5SL is a compact 4-axis delta (parallel-link) robot from FANUC's M-1 series, listed as the 4-axis long-arm version. It carries a maximum wrist load of 0.5 kg over a 420 mm reach with a repeatability of ±0.03 mm, and weighs 23 kg. It is intended for fast, small-part handling such as picking, assembly and dispensing in space-constrained cells, and can be mounted on a reversible optional stand or on the ceiling.

Study notes

  • Datasheet describes the model as "4-axis, long arm" and the product page describes the M-1iA series as delta robots using a parallel-link mechanism.
  • The product page states payload can be raised to 1,000 g by adding another 500 g of payload; the datasheet figure is 0.5 kg.
  • Mounting options stated: reversible optional stand, ceiling mounting.
  • The datasheet operating space is given as ø420 mm x 150 mm (with stand).
  • Mechanical weight is listed as 23 kg in the datasheet specification table, while the product page marketing text states 17 kg; the two figures do not agree.
  • The datasheet table has motion range and maximum speed columns for J1 to J6, but the extracted values cannot be mapped to individual axes; only a 720 motion range entry and a 3000 deg/s speed entry are legible.
  • Controller series is R-30iB Plus; compatible controllers are the R-30iB Plus Mate Cabinet and R-30iB Plus Mate Open-Air Cabinet.
  • Body protection is IP20 standard; wrist and J3 arm protection is IP20 standard.
  • FANUC's product page and datasheet give different values for weight. Check with FANUC before relying on it.
  • FANUC's datasheet lists 4 controlled axes while the product page describes a 6-axis parallel-link configuration for the series.
