2002 FANUC S-500iB Robot - 15kg Payload, 2757mm Reach, RJ3iB Control

The 2002 FANUC S-500iB is a six-axis articulated robot equipped with an RJ3iB control system. Designed for high-speed, smooth movements, this model features a 15 kg payload capacity, a horizontal reach of 2757 mm, and a repeatability of ±0.15 mm. The robot has a mass of 610 kg and supports floor, inverted, and angle mounting. It is powered by brushless AC servo motors and utilizes RV speed reducers with cables routed through hollow joints to minimize interference. Axis motion speeds are 170°/s for J1 and J2, 200°/s for J3, 335°/s for J4, 360°/s for J5, and 600°/s for J6. The motion range for the axes is J1 ±160°, J2 +100° to -60°, J3 +149° to -119°, J4 ±240°, J5 ±120°, and J6 ±450°. The system is equipped with a teach pendant, connection cables, and 7th and 8th axis auxiliary drives. Its slender arm design increases access to parts and eases installation in environments ranging from harsh to traditional factory floors. This robot is suitable for applications including dispensing, machine loading, material handling, material removal, and part transfer.
