Fanuc launches lightweight robot for small-to-medium paint applications

1 min read

Fanuc UK has extended its family of paint robots with the launch of the light-weight P-40iA intelligent robotic arm.

The latest addition to the range is ideally suited to a wide variety of painting and coating applications, and has a maximum payload and reach of 5kg and 1300mm respectively.

As with all Fanuc robots, the P-40iA is manufactured from aluminium, and is designed to integrate into an end-user’s paint or power system.

Benefiting from the same wrist design as the Fanuc Paint Mate 200iA, the P-40iA provides end-users with the reliability and technology synonymous with all Fanuc products.

It can also easily adapt to small lot sizes and other modifications.

Andy Armstrong, sales and marketing manager at Fanuc UK, comments: “Painting and coating applications have long been undertaken using automated technologies, given the time and cost-savings this can generate for end-users. However, many smaller manufacturers – or those with limited floor space – have often been excluded from using automated paint and coating solutions due the lack of compact technology available on the market.

“Given the versatile mounting options and compact arm design, the P-40iA will go a long way towards opening up automated painting and coating applications to those manufacturers who are tight on space. Crucially, despite its compact footprint, the P-40iA offers the same level of robustness, quality and ease-of-use that operators have come to expect from a Fanuc robot.”
