FANUC says its latest robot
controller is packed with smart
features to boost control and
productivity. Four key focus areas
allow the new R-30iB robot
controller to save up to 77% floor
area, programme faster and easier,
save power and maximise
productivity.

Overall volume of the R-30iB
design is reduced by 68%; it
measures just 500 x 600 x 470mm.

The design provides further benefits
in multi-robot systems where the
controller is able to stack; three
stacked up controllers reduces the
floor space required by 77%.

Using the same platform as the
new FANUC 30i CNC controller, the
revised robot controller packs the
same power, and more, as its larger
predecessor with more than 4096 I/O
supported, 40 axes control capability
and 8 motion groups, up to 4 line
tracking encoders and support for
most common industrial
communication/bus systems.
