{"id":"fanuc-m-950ia-500","model_id":"M-950iA/500","name":"FANUC M-950iA/500","summary":"The M-950iA/500 is a six-axis serial-link industrial robot with a 500 kg wrist load capacity and a 2830 mm reach, intended for lifting and moving large, heavy parts. Its serial-link mechanism lets the arm extend upright and rotate backward with little interference, so it can be installed in tight workspaces. It runs on the R-30iB Plus controller series.","study_notes":["Serial-link mechanism, not parallel-link: wider range of motion and less interference when the arm is extended upright or rotated backward.","Stated motion ranges: J1 370°, J2 150°, J3 392°, J4 720°, J5 244°, J6 720°.","Repeatability ±0.08 mm, based on ISO 928.","Mechanical weight of 2500 kg is given without the controller.","Body protection is IP54 as standard; IP67 is available on request for the wrist and J3 arm.","Allowable moments/inertia listed: J4 3420 N·m / 1100 kg·m², J5 3420 N·m / 1100 kg·m², J6 1850 N·m / 445 kg·m².","Average power consumption is 5 kW.","Applications listed for the series include assembly, material removal, palletizing, picking and packaging, welding, dispensing and sealing, and spot welding.","During short distance motions the axis speed may not reach the stated maximum value."],"safety_notes":[],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.fanucamerica.com/products/robot/m-950ia-500","title":"M-950iA/500","accessed":"2026-10-25"},{"url":"https://www.fanucamerica.com/uploads/files/data-sheets/m-950ia-500-datasheet.pdf","title":"m 950ia 500 datasheet","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":21,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"industrial_robot","manufacturer":"fanuc","controllers":["fanuc-r-30ib-plus"],"axes":6,"payload_kg":500,"reach_mm":2830,"repeatability_mm":0.08,"weight_kg":2500,"power_consumption_kw":5,"ip_rating":"IP54","joints":[{"name":"J1","max_speed_deg_s":100},{"name":"J2","max_speed_deg_s":80},{"name":"J3","max_speed_deg_s":80},{"name":"J4","max_speed_deg_s":110},{"name":"J5","max_speed_deg_s":110},{"name":"J6","max_speed_deg_s":170}],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/fanuc-m-950ia-500","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
