The M-900iA series material-handling robots tackle heavy-duty machine tending, part transfer, and maneuvering heavy products.
The M-900iA series material-handling robots tackle heavy-duty machine tending, part transfer, and maneuvering heavy products.

M-900iA/350 robots work with 770-lb (350 kg) payloads and offer "best in class" wrist capacity and axis speed for handling large and heavy products such as engines, big sheet panels, castings, and powertrain components. This robot floor or ceiling (invert)-mounts since it does not need a spring or weight counterbalance.

Another robot in the series, the M-900iA/600, accommodates 1,320 lb (600 kg) with a 111.42-in. (2.83-m) horizontal reach. In addition to engines, powertrain components, and castings, this robot holds molded parts and truck and bus frames.
