About M-950iA/500
M-950iA/500 is a six-axis heavyweight industrial robot with a 500-kilogram payload and reach exceeding 2.8 metres. Its serial-link arm structure provides a broad working envelope for moving battery packs, castings, vehicle structures and construction materials.
The J3 axis can rotate backward, allowing the arm to work behind its base and fit into compact cell layouts. FANUC’s controller coordinates motion, safety and external axes, while model options support harsh manufacturing environments and integration with large grippers and lifting tools.
