SR-9iA/R
The Fanuc SR-9iA/R is a high-speed, heavy-duty rack-mounted SCARA robot designed for transporting small components like solar cell modules on conveyors, targeting increased productivity in solar panel production. With a 9 kg payload and 620 mm reach, it achieves the world's highest processing capacity: 0.7 seconds per back-and-forth cycle (2.5 kg load, 500 mm horizontal, 100 mm vertical lift), sustainable 24/7 without rest. High rigidity in first and second arms ensures precise high-speed motion with minimal tip shake due to unique rack-mounted structure positioning the second arm below the first, reducing vertical protrusion. Shipment began April 2025, showcased at FANUC’s New Products Open House in May 2025. Ideal for electronics, solar, and high-volume assembly, it leverages advanced servo technology for superior accuracy and duty performance.
