FANUC M900iB /280L
Robot details
The FANUC M-900iB/280L is a long-reach, heavy-payload 6-axis industrial robot designed for applications that require exceptional rigidity, extended working range, and reliable high-capacity handling. This model belongs to the FANUC M-900 series and is specifically engineered for large-scale manufacturing environments where strength, precision, and productivity are essential.
With a payload capacity of 280 kg and an impressive reach of 3103 mm, the M-900iB/280L is ideal for handling large and heavy workpieces across wide production areas. Its extended parallel-link arm structure increases rigidity and minimizes deflection, ensuring accurate positioning even when operating at maximum reach.
The robot is controlled by the advanced FANUC R-30iB Plus controller, a next-generation control platform designed to improve robot performance, simplify programming, and increase manufacturing efficiency. The controller includes enhanced processing power, intelligent diagnostics, expanded memory, and compatibility with FANUC software technologies such as iRVision, Dual Check Safety (DCS), ROBOGUIDE, and intelligent motion optimization functions.
The M-900iB/280L is especially suitable for applications involving large transfer distances, including automotive press transfer systems, heavy palletizing, machine tending, and spot welding operations. Thanks to its floor, ceiling, and angle mounting options, the robot can be integrated into complex automation layouts while maximizing workspace efficiency.
Built for harsh industrial environments, the robot includes IP67 protection on the wrist and J3 arm, with optional Severe Dust and Liquid Protection (SDLP) packages available for increased durability in dusty, oily, or wet working conditions.
The FANUC M-900iB/280L is widely utilized in automotive manufacturing, heavy material handling, metal fabrication, logistics automation, and industrial assembly lines where large payloads and extended reach are required without sacrificing precision or speed.
