Fast, Accurate 3D Vision

New FANUC 3DV/400 Area Sensor with Visual Line Tracking

FANUC's new 3DV/400 Vision Sensor is lightweight and can be used as a fixed or robot mounted 3D Vision camera. When compared to conventional 3D vision sensors, it provides better acquisition of shiny or translucent parts. It also offers a solution for shadows caused by halation.

The 3DV/400 is part of FANUC’s iRVision system is fully integrated with complete machine vision system for robot guidance and inspection. Better 3D Vision means better results! Visit our vision page to learn more.

High-Speed Picking Perfection

Increase productivity with FANUC's Material Handling Robots

FANUC's industrial picking and packing robots are built with maximum repeatability for more precise, efficient, and sustainable automated solutions.

As seen at IMTS 2018, FANUC robots are custom-made for a clean room setting - Ready to handle solar panels, food, pharmaceuticals, electronics and more. FANUC is ready to help support your material handling challenges with robotic solutions in any industry. Visit our picking & packing applications page to learn more.

Think Cobot. Think FANUC.

Now the industry’s widest range of cobots.

FANUC offers collaborative robots with payloads in 4kg, 7kg, 35kg – And now proudly introduces the all new 15kg-payload CR-15iA! When you arrive at FANUC’s booth at IMTS 2018, you'll be able to see FANUC's new CR-15iA working with two other FANUC cobots in a collaborative order fulfillment demonstration.

FANUC Collaborative Robots provide the safe interaction and floor space savings you expect in a cobot, now with the industry’s widest payload range! Think Cobots. Think FANUC. Visit our cobots page to learn more.

FANUC SCARAs - Speed and Precision in a Small Footprint

Big Movement. Small Footprint.

At the IMTS Booth, visitors are able to see both FANUC SCARAs – 3kg and 6kg payload models – in high-speed action.

These robots are great for precision pick and place in a variety of industries. To learn more about FANUC SCARA Robots, visit fanucamerica.com/scara.
