Product Features
With globalization and increasingly diverse consumer needs in the market, the manufacturing industries face a time of considerable change.
It is no longer enough for industrial robots to simply perform a single task. Industry now demands robots with the capacity and flexibility to readily take on more sophisticated tasks.
The MELFA FR series provides new, more intelligent solutions that underpin “next-generation manufacturing”, offering a simpler approach to advanced and flexible production. These robots can handle all your automation needs.
MELFA FR series
“Next-generation intelligent functions” make it simple to carry out work that has always defied automation.
“Safe, collaborative work applications” allow robots and people to work together with high levels of safety.
“FA-IT integration functions” support nextgeneration manufacturing.
With these 3 key features, the FR Series is capable of handling virtually all your automation needs.
Improved controller performance
Control cycles on FR series controllers take just half the current time, improving robot control performance.The faster calculation speed gives better robot processing capacity and shorter cycle times for improved productivity.Integration with the various sensors also makes precision operation possible.
Controller Types
R/Q type controller
- This controller is compatible with the "iQ Platform", which seamlessly integrates the various controllers used in a production site with HMIs, the engineering environment and the network.
- It uses a multi-CPU configuration that dramatically improves its interaction with FA equipment and also offers highly precise control and fast yet simple information management.
R type controller
MELSEC iQ-R series-dedicated
The R Type controllers supported by the MELSEC iQ-R series dramatically improve compatibility with FA equipment, allowing information to be shared mutually and data to be collected and processed. Improved system bus performance has also reduced communication cycles to 1/4 of current levels, allowing shorter cycle times for production facilities.
Q type controller
MELSEC Q series-dedicated
D type controller
Standalone type
- A standalone controller similar to existing models.
- Enables the construction of cells using robot controllers as the control nucleus.
- Comes with various interfaces as standard, allowing customers to build a system optimized for their applications.
