FAQ
Is the M-20iD/25 suitable for full-pallet palletizing?
Yes, with 25 kg payload and 1700 mm reach, it can handle full mixed-weight pallets (up to 25 kg per item) across a 3400 mm work envelope.
What is the typical cycle time for palletizing operations?
For a mixed-goods palletizing task, expect 2.8–3.5 seconds per placement, enabling 1000+ placements per 8-hour shift on optimal patterns.
Does it support outdoor operation or only sheltered environments?
The M-20iD/25 is rated IP54, suitable for sheltered outdoor use in warehousing and logistics. Extended exposure protection is available as an option.
Can multiple M-20iD/25 robots be coordinated in a single cell?
Yes, dual-arm systems are common in high-throughput palletizing. FANUC's multi-robot controller supports full synchronization and collision avoidance.
How does it compare to dedicated palletizing robots from other manufacturers?
The M-20iD/25 offers greater dexterity than purpose-built palletizers but with slightly slower cycle times; it excels in mixed-task cells requiring flexibility.
