FANUC America is proud to introduce the latest in our line of LR Mate 200iD robots -- the new LR Mate 200iD/4S short-arm model mini robot. Developed to meet a wider range of products and thus suit customer needs, the new LR Mate 200iD short-arm robot is very compact and lightweight with a 550 mm reach and a 4 kg payload.

In a video demonstration of this intelligent robot's capabilities, the LR Mate 200iD/4S is used in kitting mixed cosmetics products into cases. First, the robot unpacks the kits, showcasing the robot's six-axis dexterity to handle box tops and slip sheet placement with extreme precision. The robot takes a quick vision shot after unpacking the kits, and locates the randomly oriented products using FANUC iRVision. Once the parts are located, the robot proceeds to rapidly pick and pack the various round and square cosmetics from the tray into their individual variety packs. The robot places the slip sheets and box tops in place when the kitting is finished, and the cycle repeats.

The FANUC family of LR Mate 200iD robots offer a best in class work envelope and are available in clean room and food grade variants for primary food handling and healthcare packaging applications. To learn more about the FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot, please visit http://www.fanucamerica.com.
