How does FANUC ensure the durability of its robots in harsh environments?

FANUC ensures the durability of its robots in harsh environments by designing them with robust materials and protective features. This approach is crucial because it enables the robots to withstand challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures, dust, moisture, and other environmental stressors. The use of durable materials means that the robots can function effectively without degrading quickly, which is essential for maintaining high efficiency and reducing maintenance costs over time.

Additionally, protective features may include sealed housings, corrosion-resistant coatings, and reinforced structures that further enhance the robot's ability to operate reliably in demanding settings. This focus on resilience allows FANUC robots to be deployed in a variety of applications, including manufacturing, warehousing, and other industries where exposure to harsh conditions is inevitable.

In contrast, options that involve using cheaper materials or incorporating delicate components would compromise the robots' ability to perform in these environments, while limiting their operational range would unnecessarily restrict their functionality and versatility. Thus, the design of FANUC robots reflects a commitment to quality and durability, essential for their long-term performance in the field.
