FANUC’s (Rochester Hills, MI) new line of R-50iA robot controllers, built on 50 years of automation expertise, offers a variety of enhancements and new features. The new R-50iA controller is currently available in three cabinet sizes: the R-50iA Mate-Cabinet, R-50iA A-Cabinet, and the R-50iA B-Cabinet.
Enhanced robot control performance has improved the signal output and sensor tracking on the robot’s motion path, enabling higher precision. This is a significant benefit for robotic applications such as dispensing and other demanding tasks that require exceptional robot path control.
Improvements to FANUC’s built-in vision include an all-new camera design with five-million-pixel resolution – four times the current version, which significantly increases the robot’s field of view. In addition, easy unified GigE Ethernet communication ensures that the R-50iA camera is effortlessly linked to the Ethernet network. As a result, you can control the newly designed waterproof camera, complete with LED illumination, using just a single Ethernet cable.
FANUC’s integrated vision has a common vision user interface for the iPendant, TabletTP and PC, making it easy to use with any device.
More enhancements are included in individual product cabinets.
