Q Corporation, a leading global supplier of SMT production solutions, debuts the new Fanuc M-1ia Robot. The M-1ia is a lightweight, compact robot designed for small part handling, high-speed picking and assembly applications.
The unique parallel-link structure of the M-1ia provides higher speeds and accuracy compared to traditional assembly robots. The system is available in two models (4- or 6-axis) for various applications and can be installed in multiple orientations. Additionally, the system is available in three configurations including robot only (no stand), desktop mount with stand, and ceiling and angle mounting. The system also can be mounted to Q Corporation’s taping equipment for fast, accurate component placement.
The M-1iA 4-axis design enables part feeding from the sides of a work zone, increasing the useable workspace. The powerful R-30iA Mate rack-style controller provides intelligent robot functions with a compact controller footprint. Additionally, the detachable color-graphic iPendant or monochrome pendant can be shared between multiple robots on the same assembly line.
For more than 40 years, Q Corporation has provided world-class equipment and superior service to the electronics industry. The Q Corporation product line includes lead-trimming systems, manual surface mount taping systems, automated surface mount taping systems and Fritsch manual pick-and-place systems.
