FANUC: R-30iB Plus / R-30iB Mate Plus Robot Controller
January 12, 2023
FANUC’s new R-30iB Plus Robot Controllers feature the new iPendant with enhanced screen resolution and processing capability. The new user interface, iHMI, can display guides for setup and programming, as well as tutorials from the main home page which has a design common to FANUC CNCs, enabling easier use of robots. Using the programming guide, even first-time robot users can create a program for a simple handling task and execute it in just 30 minutes. Easier usage also improves efficiency by facilitating system setup and maintenance.
For those who would like to use the traditional version of the iPendant interface, FANUC has made this available for use on the new iPendant as well.
FANUC’s new R-30iB Plus includes improved processing performance for both hardware and software, and shortened signal processing cycle. Additionally, signal processing output timing has been improved versus previous controllers – This expands the possible applications in automation systems that require a high level of positioning precision, such as laser applications.
The vision function has a new camera interface which increases four times the speed for transmitting images from the camera, and a simplified cable configuration. With improvements in the user interface, setup of the vision system can be handled much more efficiently.
Overall, FANUC’s new R-30iB Plus Controller contributes to the easier use of robots and automation in the manufacturing industry.
