Arc Welding & Assembly Automation Solution – FANUC M-10iA | M-10i Series
Where This Product Is Used
The FANUC M-10iA is a high-speed, slim-body 6-axis articulated robot engineered for demanding industrial environments. Its compact wrist and hollow upper arm make it the preferred choice for applications where cable routing and confined-space access are critical:
- Arc Welding & MIG/TIG Welding Lines – Hollow wrist design routes welding cables internally, eliminating cable wear and improving weld repeatability in automotive and heavy fabrication plants.
- Robotic Assembly – Precise ±0.08 mm repeatability supports high-mix, low-volume electronics and mechanical sub-assembly cells.
- Material Handling & Pick-and-Place – 10 kg payload with 1422 mm reach covers standard conveyor-to-pallet transfer tasks in food, pharma, and consumer goods lines.
- Machine Tending – Slim arm profile allows deep reach into CNC machining centers and injection molding machines without fixture interference.
- Dispensing & Sealing – Smooth 6-axis motion path enables consistent bead application for adhesive, sealant, and coating processes.
- Inspection & Vision-Guided Handling – Compatible with FANUC iRVision for 2D/3D vision-guided pick, place, and quality inspection tasks.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Hollow Wrist & Arm Design – Internal cable/hose routing reduces external interference, extends cable life, and simplifies cell layout for welding and dispensing applications.
- High-Speed Cycle Performance – Optimized J4–J6 wrist inertia allows faster TCP speeds versus comparable payload-class robots, directly reducing cycle time.
- FANUC iRVision Ready – Native vision integration without third-party middleware reduces integration cost and commissioning time.
- Proven MTBF – FANUC robots are rated for 80,000+ hours MTBF; the M-10iA is widely deployed in 24/7 automotive production environments.
- Compact Footprint – 130 kg robot mass with a small installation envelope enables dense cell packing and easy retrofit into existing lines.
- Multi-Protocol Fieldbus – Native support for EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, and CC-Link ensures compatibility with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Omron PLC architectures.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the FANUC M-10iA suitable for arc welding without additional sealing?
A: Yes. The IP67-rated wrist and internal cable routing make the M-10iA one of FANUC’s most popular arc welding platforms. No additional sealing is required for standard MIG/TIG environments.
Q: Which controller is compatible with the M-10iA?
A: The M-10iA is compatible with the FANUC R-30iA and R-30iB controller families. The R-30iB Plus offers enhanced motion performance and is recommended for new installations.
Q: Can the M-10iA be mounted inverted (ceiling mount)?
A: Yes. The M-10iA supports floor, ceiling (inverted), and angled mounting configurations, enabling flexible cell layout design.
Q: What is the difference between the M-10iA and M-10iA/12?
A: The M-10iA/12 variant offers a 12 kg payload capacity with a slightly reduced reach envelope. The standard M-10iA (10 kg) provides the longest reach (1422 mm) in the M-10i family.
Q: Do you provide FANUC system integration support?
A: Konmask provides pre-sale technical consultation for hardware selection and compatibility. For full system integration services, we can refer you to certified FANUC system integrators in your region.
