Basic Description
The M-6iB series is FANUC Robotics' latest-generation family of small robots. The series is offered in two sizes designed to approximate the reach of an operator. Feature-rich standard capabilities and options provide dexterity, reliability and high speeds to make the M-6iB the perfect solution for countless applications and working environments.
M-6iB Series, the Solution for:

• Machine tending • Material handling • Assembly • Picking and packing
• Material removal • Cleanroom operations • Testing and sampling • Dispensing
Features and Benefits
• 6 degrees of freedom • ±O.08 mm repeatability • Up to 10 kg payload at wrist
• Large wrist moments and inertias for real-world EOATs and workpieces
• Supplementary payload mount on J3 casting • Yoked wrist structure for increased rigidity
• Pneumatic and electrical (8 01/8 DO) connections for EOAT on J3
• Pneumatic lines routed from • Color, graphical, network- J1 inlet to J3 outlet ready teach iPendanFM • Compact size, slim wrist, and small footprint permit Reliability operation in tight work spaces • Upright, angle, wall, or invert mounting for • Latest generation of increased installation a proven design flexibility • RV reducer, gear and Robot can flip over harmonic drivetrains • backwards for a larger eliminate unreliable belts, work envelope pulleys and chains while providing rigidity and • High joint speeds performance in a compact
