M-2000iA/1200 could easy be the nickname of the latest terminator, if you are in need of saving the world, or maybe just handling something really heavy on the shop floor this could become your best friend.
The World Strongest 6 axis Robot
“The M-2000iA/1200 has the highest payload and the strongest wrist compared to all other electric six-axis robots available today,” said Ian Orr, product manager, FANUC Robotics. “It can support a 1350 kg payload with a 0.6 m offset from the faceplate and full articulated motion at the wrist. One M-2000iA/1200 robot can handle a super heavy part, which previously required dual robots, conveyors, lifts and other fixed automation.” Update : Video of M-2000iA/1200
