FANUC LR Mate 200iD/7L

FANUC's LR Mate 200iD/7L is a 6-axis arm that carries 7 kg out to a 911 mm reach, the long-reach member of the 200iD family. Its brief is a long-reach small arm for machine tending, stretching the platform to clear deep chucks or nested fixtures. It keeps the same small footprint as the rest of the line.

That reach is the whole point in machine tending, where it can load and unload from inside a CNC enclosure without a larger base. Wiring the cell means an IO handshake with the machine, covered in the machine-tending IO handshake and the CNC door-interlock setup. The arm is rated IP67 (IP69K option).

At the wrist it repeats to 0.01 mm, tight enough for assembly and dispensing alongside general material handling. The arm weighs 27 kg and keeps integration cost low for benchtop cells.

It runs on FANUC's R-30iB Plus controller. Routine upkeep leans on jobs like controller battery replacement and clearing a low-battery alarm such as SRVO-062. If backup power is lost, mastering after battery loss covers bringing position back.

Mounting options span Floor, Angle, and Inverted, so the arm can hang over a machine or stand beside it. Its considerations are plain: stiffness eases at full reach next to standard-arm variants, and the 7 kg ceiling rules out heavier fixtures.

That mix suits a builder who needs to reach 911 mm into a deep fixture with a small, 0.01 mm-repeatable arm on a floor, angle, or inverted base. Anyone hanging more than 7 kg, or needing full stiffness at the end of that reach, is asking more than this arm gives.
