FANUC M-410iC/185

The FANUC M-410iC/185 is a four-axis palletizing arm built for heavier cases, bags, and stretch-wrapped loads. With a 185 kg payload and 3143 mm reach, one unit covers multiple pallet positions from a single floor mount. It's a common fit at the end of high-volume packaging lines feeding several pallet stations.

That long reach lets a single arm serve stations that sit apart without being repositioned, and 0.05 mm repeatability keeps stacks square at production speed. Four axes suit palletizing work, where loads stay upright and wrist orientation changes stay limited. Building those stack layouts is its own job; see teaching a palletizing pattern.

At 1600 kg the arm anchors a fixed cell on the floor, and its large swing radius wants a generous footprint. Cell layout matters when several pallet positions and material-handling infeed all have to sit inside the work envelope. It runs on the R-30iB Plus controller.

For a cell this size, a saved controller image is worth keeping current; see full image backup. Servo faults surface as FANUC SRVO codes, with SRVO-050 one example to look up. The FANUC parts catalog covers drive-side items like the J1 servo motor, and scheduled reducer greasing belongs on the cell's maintenance calendar.

This arm earns its place on heavy packaging lines: 185 kg loads, 3143 mm of reach across pallet stations, and 0.05 mm repeatability for clean stacks. It's overkill for light carton palletizing, where a smaller palletizer would claim less floor. Plants stacking bags and bulk cases at a fixed floor cell are its natural home.
