The FANUC M-900iB industrial robot series is designed for heavy payload automation in demanding manufacturing environments. It delivers high strength, rigidity, and precision for handling large and complex components.

Built for high-force applications, the M-900iB series supports a wide range of payloads and reach options. As a result, manufacturers can automate heavy-duty processes while maintaining consistent performance and reliability.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Reach – up to ~3,704 mm / 145.8 in (model dependent)
• Payload – 280 kg to 700 kg depending on model
• Repeatability – up to ±0.1 mm (model dependent)
• 6-axis articulated robot for flexible automation
• High rigidity design for stable, high-force applications
• Slim arm profile for improved access in large work envelopes
• Compact mechanical design relative to payload capacity
• Multiple mounting options including floor, ceiling, and angle
• Designed for material handling, palletizing, and heavy assembly applications
• Suitable for drilling, cutting, and high-force processing tasks

When launching a new heavy automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers take a consultative approach. First, they assess the application requirements. This helps determine the best robot configuration. Then, they evaluate system performance to ensure reliable operation under load and within project specifications.

Their evaluations include:

• Required throughput and cycle time
• Payload and reach requirements
• Application type and tooling needs
• Safety considerations and system layout

When customers deploy the FANUC M-900iB as part of a complete automation solution, IP Tech’s engineers ensure the system is fully optimized by:

• Including all required components for a complete solution
• Verifying compatibility across robots, tooling, and peripherals
• Confirming performance meets application requirements
