The Fanuc R-2000iB 165F is a six-axis industrial robot that belongs to the R-2000iB series. It stands out for its large work envelope, which measures 2655 mm, giving it the ability to reach overhead and behind, making it highly versatile for various applications. The robot has a slim profile design, and the process cables are routed through the arm, which helps in working efficiently in tight spaces. Additionally, the elimination of counterweights further increases the available workspace.

The R-2000iB 165F can handle medium payloads of up to 165kg, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial tasks, such as material handling, spot welding, and dispensing. The robot’s high performance, flexibility, and reliability make it a valuable addition to Fanuc robotics.

Mechanically, the R-2000iB 165F utilizes RV reducers for all its axes, and it does not have any motors at the wrist, contributing to its slim design and increased workspace. The robot is equipped with the R-J3iC/R-30iA robot control system, which offers state-of-the-art control capabilities.

The R-30iA controller, which powers the R-2000iB 165F, is known for its fast startup time, requiring less than 1 minute to begin operation, even with only the basic software. In case of a power failure, the robot program restarts quickly and safely, allowing production to resume without the need to redo the entire movement. The controller also features a unique resume tolerance check, which memorizes the robot’s position before any interruption and ensures that the robot remains within preset tolerance after resuming, preventing unexpected movements and collisions.

One of the notable features of the R-30iA controller is its excellent vibration control, achieved through enhanced hardware and software capacities. This results in reduced acceleration and deceleration times, leading to shorter cycle times and increased uptime.

The controller offers a wide range of connections, including USB2 and PCMCIA interfaces, allowing for fast and cost-effective backups and restoration of data and programs. These features contribute to the overall reliability and maintainability of the Fanuc R-2000iB 165F and make it a highly capable and efficient industrial robot for various applications in manufacturing and automation processes.
