Product Of The Month

The Standard Compact Palletizer is an economical and simple way to robotically palletize your product. Cases are conveyed to the pick location on a gravity roller conveyor where the robot’s vacuum End of Arm Tool firmly grasps the case and places it on the pallet. Your operator removes the full pallet from the cell places an empty pallet on the floor.
- User Friendly– push button pause/restart for manual pallet exchange and product changeover
- Dependable – ease labor and ergonomic challenges related to manual palletizing
- Flexible – offers the flexibility to easily change from one product to another and add new products in the future
- Compact – requires minimal floor space
- Common Base – system is movable by fork truck, allowing for quick installation and startup

Robot System Cost Series

Part One: 10 Parameters
Part Two: The Range of Robot Cost
Part Three: A Cost Analysis of a Palletizing System

Often companies need an estimate to gauge how much a robot cell might cost (robot cost is just a percentage of the total cost). This knowledge helps gauge the possibility of moving forward with a project. It is not worth spending a lot of time exploring the needs and budget if you know up front the cost will be too high.

In the Tech Talk article Should You Purchase a Used Robot?, we breakdown, into percentages, the cost of each area of a robot cell. We show the total cost of the robot in the robot cell averages out to be 25%.

• Robot cost varies with the size of the robot and its attendant servo motors and controllers.
• Collaborative robots have many added features that make this a more expensive option
• Food grade robots and special environment robots have higher Ingress Protection (IP) ratings to protect them from environmental elements

Robot Cost

List prices for FANUC’s most common robots vary from $25,000 for the simplest, least expensive M1iA, 4 axis “spider” robot with .5kg capacity to the M2000/1200 6 axis robot with 1200kg capacity topping out at over $400,000 list price.

• Determine which robot you will need based on the reach and payload needed for the robot cell  – robot reach and payload is available by searching through our NEW FANUC ROBOTS product pages. (Costs below are averages for the size and series options and not exact pricing)
  • Small (Small Scara, Delta, Collaborative and LR Mate Series robots)
    • $25,000 to $35,000 for payloads up to 7kg and reach up to .9 meters
  • Medium (Medium and large Delta robots, M10 and M20 Series, Medium Collaborative robots)
    • $50,000 for payloads from 7+kg to 20kg and robot reach up to 1.8 meters
  • Large (M410 Series robots/M710 and R1000 Series robots)
    • $75,000 to $80,000 for most palletizing operations (M410 Series robots)
    • $70,000 to $85,000 for payloads from 20+kg to 80kg, and robot reach up to 2.23 meters
  • Other Large (R2000, and M900 Series robots)
    • $90,000 to $130,000 for large 6 axis robot projects with up to 360 kg payload and/or reach up to 2.65 meters
  • Heavy Duty (Includes the M2000 series)
    • For payload capacity and reaches beyond 360kg and 2.65 meters, prices change quickly ranging from up to $400,000

1Payload doesn’t include weight of end of arm tool, which is usually roughly equal to the weight of the product being handled
