Motion Controls Robotics, Inc.

We have the new FANUC America Corporation robot and controller setup in the shop, and for anyone who has seen or worked with the newer FANUC systems, I’m curious what stood out to you?

The full robot model is M-410/800F-32C: part of FANUC’s M-410 palletizing series, with an 800 kg payload and roughly 3.2 m reach. What caught my eye is that the robot arm itself is now branded more simply as M-410.

That is a change from what many of us are used to seeing, where the payload was more obvious in the visible model marking.

The controller side is a big deal too. This system is paired with FANUC’s newer R-50iA controller. FANUC has pointed to new intelligent features, improved ease of use, cybersecurity, reduced energy consumption, and updated cabinet options as part of this release.

We are excited to show you the finished system. For anyone who has had a chance to see, use, or integrate the newer FANUC setup, what stood out to you?

We’re excited to welcome five new team members to Motion Controls Robotics, Inc.!

This group includes three summer co-ops and two full-time employees who will be supporting our electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, assembly, and project management teams.
