FANUC M-410iB/140H

FANUC's M-410iB/140H is a dedicated palletizing arm the company introduced in 2010 for high-throughput case and bag stacking at the end of a line. It lifts a 140 kg payload, plenty for full cases coming off a conveyor. The R-30iB Plus controller drives it.

Its 2,850 mm reach gives broad coverage for multi-pallet cells, and the low-profile base helps under mezzanine layouts where headroom is tight. The arm mounts to the Floor and weighs about 1,200 kg, so foundation and leveling work matter during install. Repeatability holds at 0.05 mm.

Beyond core palletizing, the record positions it for packaging and general material-handling work across end-of-line cells. Its simple kinematics keep maintenance straightforward. Crews building stack recipes can lean on guides like teaching a palletizing pattern and mixed-case palletizing.

Upkeep follows standard FANUC controller routines. Servo faults such as SRVO-062 surface on the pendant, and scheduled service covers work like greasing a reducer and replacing the controller battery. The body carries an IP54 rating.

It's tuned for palletizing-style motion rather than general handling, so it suits repetitive stacking better than dexterous assembly. Its high-speed swing radius needs guarding, so plan cell space and interlocks for the safety envelope. That focus is the trade for its cycle rate on case work.

Choose it when the job is stacking cases up to 140 kg across a 2,850 mm reach from a floor mount, held to 0.05 mm repeatability. Look elsewhere if you need general-purpose handling or a tighter footprint.
