R-30iB Plus
FANUC's R-30iB Plus Robot Controllers feature the iPendant with enhanced screen resolution and processing capability. The 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.
FANUC's 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.
