Palletising Robot

Visy Board in Dandenong Victoria reutilised an existing Fanuc robot into a new robot palletising cell.The palletising robot is a Fanuc W410i with an RJ2 controller. Although the controller is quiet old, the majority of functionality required was still present.
An Omron CJ2M PLC controls the cell, with remote I/O on Ethernet I/P via Turck BL20 nodes. The Fanuc robot now also communicates on a quasi Ethernet I/P level. Dual Pro Face HMI’s are in operation for machine control.

Safety of the RJ2 controller was upgraded to satisfy risk assessment demands.

So even if you do have an old or even very old Fanuc robot, Automation Solutions can provide you with a working solution.

Fanuc M-410iB Palletising robot

The FANUC M-410iB series is FANUC’s latest-generation palletising industrial robot. The M-410iB is engineered for precise high-speed/ high-payload operation and maximum reliability.

The M-410iB is a four-axis, electric servo driven robot with an integrated mechanical and control unit suited to a wide variety of manufacturing and palletising system processes. The M-410iB offers payloads from 160Kg to 700Kg and the fastest cycle times of any robot in this class. A small footprint and integrated controller reduces the required floor space.
