Lightweight, compact intelligent robot demonstrates speed, flexibility

FANUC Robotics exhibits its new M-1iA parallel-link robot at Pack Expo Las Vegas 2009 picking and placing small objects with accuracy.

The M-1iA operates with the company's latest R-30iA controller, with integrated intelligent functions such as iRVision®, Robot Link, and Collision Guard.
