Fanuc America (Rochester Hills, MI) will showcase advanced robotics, collaborative automation and AI‑enabled manufacturing technologies, including generative AI, 3D vision capabilities and real-time adaptive robot motion, at Automate 2026 at McCormick Place in Chicago from June 22–26.
Among the technologies is the R-2000/E Series for advanced manufacturing and logistics. The R-2000/E Series is designed for high-speed performance and zero-maintenance operation and can be used in automotive body lines, material handling and large-scale logistics centers.
The R-2000/E Series provides a completely redesigned industrial robotic solution for spot welding, palletizing and material handling using AI-integrated open platforms (Python/ROS) and secure cybersecurity standards.
Features:
- Delivers up to 20% faster operating speeds for shorter spot welding cycle times, alongside 10% increase in payload and reach for enhanced material handling capacity
- Battery-less encoders and specialized mechanical structure that eliminates need for battery, grease and cable replacements
- Boasts 85% increase in wrist payload capacity
- Supports Python and ROS (Robot Operating System) for flexible system integration and features remote maintenance capabilities via secured network.
- Achieves 15% reduction in power consumption and 25% reduction in drive noise
