Manufacturer M-1000iA Datasheet

Articulated arm 🇯🇵 Japan ✓ Verified specs

FANUC

M-1000iA

FANUC’s largest serial-link robot - 1,000 kg wrist payload at 3,253 mm reach on a 5,300 kg body. Unlike the parallel-link mechanism usual at this payload, the serial link lets the arm stand upright and rotate backwards, widening the vertical and longitudinal working range.

Payload

1,000 kg

@ full reach: usually lower

Reach

3,253 mm

Repeatability

±0.1 mm

Performance

How much it lifts, how far it reaches, how precisely it repeats.

Payload Maximum mass the robot can carry at the wrist flange, including the gripper/tool. Higher means it can handle heavier parts.: 1,000 kg

98th pct in class
Reach Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.: 3,253 mm

94th pct in class
Repeatability How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.: 0.1 mm

4th pct in class
Axes (DOF) Number of independently driven joints / degrees of freedom. 6 is standard for articulated arms; 4 for SCARA/palletizers; 7 adds elbow redundancy.: 6
Wrist torque Allowable torque at the wrist axis — how much twisting force a tool can apply. Higher handles bigger/offset tools.: 8,800 N·m

98th pct in class
Wrist inertia Allowable moment of inertia at the wrist — how much rotating mass it can swing without overload. Higher is more capable.: 1,750 kg·m²

98th pct in class

Motion range & speed

Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.

Motion range and maximum speed per joint.

Axis	Range	Max speed
J1	—	60 °/s
J2	—	50 °/s
J3	—	50 °/s
J4	—	70 °/s
J5	—	70 °/s
J6	—	85 °/s

Physical

Size, mass and how it mounts.

Robot weight Mass of the manipulator (arm) without controller. Lighter eases mounting and mobile use; heavier often means stiffer/higher payload.: 5,300 kg
Mounting Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).: floor

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power draw Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.: 8,000 W

3th pct in class
Controller The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.: R-30iB Plus

Safety

Standards met and collaborative-operation capability.

Collaborative Whether the robot is designed to work safely next to people without fencing (power-and-force-limited).: No

Control & software

Programming, languages and ecosystem.

Programming How the robot is taught: pendant, hand-guiding (lead-through), block/flow-chart, scripting, offline simulation.: teach-pendant, offline-sim
Languages Native robot programming language(s) — e.g. KRL (KUKA), RAPID (ABB), URScript (UR), INFORM (Yaskawa).: KAREL, TP
Teach pendant The handheld programming/jog device supplied.: iPendant Touch
Offline programming Whether programs can be built and validated offline in a digital twin before deployment.: Yes
