NPE2024 The Plastics Show

Where There's Automation, There's FANUC

At NPE 2024, we’ll showcase our cutting-edge technologies to address your production challenges. Explore FANUC’s latest robots, cobots, and automation solutions for the plastics industry. Visit us at Booth #W773 for a firsthand experience!

CRX-10iA and Tablet Teach Pendant

Experience FANUC’s Popular CRX Cobots

FANUC CRX cobots are ideal solutions for boosting productivity, especially for small- to medium-sized companies moving into automation. Their collaborative nature, ease of programming, and safety features make them an excellent choice for plastic deburring and other applications.

At NPE, a CRX-10iA with integrated iRVision and force control will simulate deburring plastic parts.

P-40iA Painting Demo

FANUC P-40iA Robot Paints Plastic Parts

A P-40iA paint robot, equipped with the R-30iB Plus Mate controller, demonstrates painting plastic parts using coordinated motion with a turntable. As the robot rotates a full 360 degrees, it ensures coverage on all sides of the parts. The setup includes the robot, and the purged motor box (PMB) for aux axis control in a hazardous area. Coordinated motion maintains precise control over the robot and part rotation, preventing overspray.

The FANUC P-40iA robot features a 1,300 mm reach, 5 kg payload, and a compact arm design suitable for small work areas. It includes a cast aluminum body, purged and pressurized arm, FANUC’s purge module, and integrated solenoid valves for gun trigger. Whether for liquid, powder, FRP chop, or gel applications, the P-40iA is a versatile painting solution. Additionally, it can be mounted in various positions (floor, invert, wall, or angle) and programmed offline using FANUC’s PaintTool robot software.

FANUC has been manufacturing paint robots in the U.S. since 1982 at its Rochester Hills, Michigan headquarters. Explore the P-40iA for more details.

ROBOSHOT a-S150iB

Electrical Injection Molding Machine - FANUC ROBOSHOT

FANUC ROBOSHOT takes state-of-the-art CNC precision technology from CNC turning and CNC milling and applies it to electric injection molding. The results are greater acceleration, ultimate precision of movement and extremely short cycle times to produce large quantities of consistently high-quality parts.

At NPE, FANUC will demonstrate a ROBOSHOT 55iB tended by a FANUC LR Mate 200iD Robot. The demonstration highlights FANUC's Robot ON-SITE which enables a robot to control the functionality and actions through robotic programming with the ability to “talk” to the CNC G-code program. This feature enables machine tools, even legacy machines, to be easily connected to robots using just one Ethernet cable.

Industrial Automation Demonstrations

   

 FANUC will highlight its latest Industrial Automation products, including:  

MTLinkiOverview

MT-LINKi

MT-LINKi, a fully scalable, out-of-the-box machine tool monitoring solution that can monitor, collect, and manage data from one to two thousand machines. The demonstration showcases MT-LINKi’s ability to connect to FANUC CNCs, FANUC robots, MTConnect and OPC-UA protocol.

0iF Plus

0i-MODEL-F Plus CNC with iHMI

See FANUC’s high-performance 0i-MODEL-F Plus CNC with iHMI and servo systems seamlessly integrated with a Laguna iQ desktop CNC router. Equipped with MT-LINKi and FASData connectivity, the display shows how well the machine, control and drives all work together to bring unbeatable value in reliability and accuracy. The demonstration highlights new features including Multi-Tool capability, Remote Monitoring function and Machine State Logging function.

Levil Lathe Machine

Levil Lathe

FANUC CNCs are used in several mills and lathes made by Levil Technology – all robust machines perfect for cutting wood, plastic, and metal. At NPE, FANUC will demonstrate the 0i-TF CNC controlling a Levil LTC-30 lathe. This turning application will highlight FANUC Servo Learning Oscillation Function for chip breaking, threading, and ease of use.
