2003 FANUC S-500iB Robot: 15kg Payload, 2757mm Reach, RJ3iB Controller

The 2003 FANUC S-500iB is a six-axis articulated CNC robot designed for high-speed, smooth movements across various industrial applications including dispensing, machine loading, material handling, material removal, and part transfer. It 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, or angle mounting configurations without modification. Its slender arm design utilizes RV speed reducers powered by brushless AC servo motors, with cables routed through hollow joints to minimize interference and snagging. The system is equipped with an RJ3iB controller, teach pendant, and auxiliary drives for 7th and 8th axes. Motion speeds for the axes are J1 and J2 at 170°/s, J3 at 200°/s, J4 at 335°/s, J5 at 360°/s, and J6 at 600°/s. 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 unit is engineered for precision and reliability in environments ranging from harsh to traditional factory floors.
