About

About M-950iA/500

M-950iA/500 is FANUC's 500-kilogram-payload serial-link industrial robot for handling battery packs, vehicle structures, construction materials and other bulky loads. Its J3 axis can flip backward, expanding the reachable workspace behind the arm.

The robot targets heavy handling where a conventional parallel-link mechanism would constrain cell layout. Reach, wrist capacity and cycle performance remain tied to the M-950iA/500 configuration and tooling.

Specifications

  • Payload Capacity Kg: 500 kg payload
  • Reach Mm: 2,830 mm reach
  • Configuration: Serial-link mechanism with backward J3 rotation
