In manufacturing, what is a common use of FANUC robots?

Automation of assembly lines is a prevalent application for FANUC robots in the manufacturing sector. These robots are designed to increase efficiency and productivity by performing repetitive tasks with high precision and speed.

In an assembly line setting, FANUC robots can be programmed to handle various tasks such as picking and placing parts, welding, painting, or even assembling products from start to finish. This automation reduces the reliance on human labor for monotonous tasks, allowing workers to focus on more complex operations or oversight roles, thereby maximizing overall production efficiency.

While quality inspection and packaging of products are important functions that can also be performed by robots, the primary focus of FANUC robots has been to streamline and optimize the assembly process within manufacturing operations. The design of robotic components is typically outside the scope of what these robots do on the production floor, as it involves engineering and manufacturing rather than the operational tasks the robots are deployed for.
