The M-1000iA is FANUC's largest robot with a series linkage mechanism, rather than the typical parallel linkage mechanism of most heavy-duty robots. As a result, the M-1000iA offers a wider range of motion in both directions. Furthermore, its heavy payload rating, high wrist inertia, and flip-over capability make the M-1000iA perfect for all types of heavy-duty material handling applications (e.g. EV battery handling, lifters, etc.). Control capabilities are provided by the latest R-30iB Plus, alongside the regular iPendant as a teaching device.
