ROBOT New product: Continuously Chosen Trusted Large Robot Evolves Even Further!
FANUC has completely redesigned the R-2000 series, our popular industrial robot series with over 350,000 units shipped worldwide, and will release the new R-2000 (R-2000/E Series) to the market. This new model significantly improves performance, maintainability, and environmental friendliness compared to previous versions, dramatically boosting productivity across a vast range of industries—from manufacturing to logistics.
Challenges in Manufacturing and Logistics
In automotive body lines, reducing cycle time for spot welding directly impacts production efficiency. Meanwhile, logistics and material handling require robots with a long reach and high payload capacity. Recently, a new challenge has emerged in automated environments; a shortage of maintenance personnel. Frequent battery, grease and cable replacements have especially placed a major burden on the shop floor.
Complete Redesign: Faster, Smarter, More Sustainable
- Outstanding Performance
- Up to 20% faster operating speed
→ Shorter cycle time for spot welding
- Up to 10% increase in payload and reach
→ Enhanced material handling capacity, improved applications for logistics and material handling and wider scope of use through new long-reach models
- Up to 85% increase in wrist payload capacity
→ Supports larger tools
- Up to 20% faster operating speed
- Maintenance-Free Design
- Battery-less encoders eliminate the need for batteries and battery replacement. No grease or cable changes required.
→ Zero maintenance burden for them
- Battery-less encoders eliminate the need for batteries and battery replacement. No grease or cable changes required.
- AI & Open Platform
- Supports Python and ROS, cybersecurity, and remote maintenance
→ Flexible system integration with AI via secured network
- Supports Python and ROS, cybersecurity, and remote maintenance
- Sustainability for Manufacturing
- 15% reduction in power consumption, zero waste of battery/grease/cable, 25% reduction in drive noise
→ Lower environmental impact and improved workplace comfort
- 15% reduction in power consumption, zero waste of battery/grease/cable, 25% reduction in drive noise
Benefits of Implementation
- Automotive industry: Tremendous improvement in production efficiency through shorter spot welding cycle time
- Logistics and material handling: Easier handling of large pallets and long items with the extended reach of the long-reach model
- Maintenance personnel shortage problem solved by maintenance-free design
- Significant reduction in TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
- Decrease in long-term operating costs and minimization of lifecycle costs by eliminating maintenance tasks, having no need to replace batteries, grease and cable, and the energy-saving design
The new R-2000 series (R-2000/E Series) will be on display at the International Robot Exhibition in December. Experience the brand new design and high-speed motion firsthand!
Mass production start date: March 2026
