Year 1999. The Fanuc S-420iF is a six axis robot which features a reduced payload and larger work envelope, suitable for handling applications. Equipped with the RJ2 controller, 16 digital inputs / outputs
FANUC Robotics' S-420i line of robots is engineered for maximum performance and reliability in the automotive body shop and is supported by our extensive application technology and service / parts network. The S-420i features a unique integrated controller, six-axis modular construction and a flexible, electric servo-driven design for high-speed and heavy processes.
Benefits
* Work Envelope allows processing of large fabrications
* Modular robot design allows conversion form one model to another
* Combined mechanical unit and robot controller reduces floor space, point-to-point wiring and installation costs
* Minimal mechanical / electrical parts increase reliability
* High motion speeds reduce time between welds
* Rotation of 360 degree for axis 1
* User power / signal / air lines internal to arm for increased reliability
* Easy-to-learn and use application programming packages
* "QUick change" electronics cabinet reduces downtime to less than 15 minutes
* Low mass arm design allows high-speed positioning
* Proven arm design in over 13,000 S-420 robot installations.
Flexibility features
* Extension arm, heavy payload wrist, wedge pedestal, reduction ratio and balancer modules allow simple robot conversion to single point weld, rack mount, long arm or heavy duty types
* Flexible and expandable I/O system internal to controller
* Distributed I/O blocks to reduce wiring
Mechanical Features
* Mechanical construction provides precise positioning and high motion speed
* Direct drive on all axis results in higher reliability and reduced maintenance
