Overview

FANUC's high-speed, heavy-duty rack-mounted SCARA robot announced in August 2025. The SR-9iA/R is designed for rapid and reliable operations in manufacturing environments requiring compact mounting and high-speed performance capabilities.

Flagship features

  • **Unique Selling Point:** Claimed as the world's highest processing capacity for its class, with a cycle time of 0.7 seconds for a 500mm horizontal and 100mm vertical move with a 2.5kg load
  • **Target Application:** Primarily designed for transporting solar cell modules on a conveyor line, but suitable for other small component handling
  • **Design Innovation:** The rack-mounted design allows the robot to be placed above production lines, saving floor space and creating a more compact manufacturing line
  • **High Rigidity:** Unique arm structure (second arm below the first) minimizes vibration at the tip, enabling high-speed precision
  • **Availability:** Shipments started in April 2025
  • **Limitations:** Pricing is not publicly available and requires contacting sales
