FANUC's Next Generation Delta Robot
Sets a New Standard for Food Handling Robots

FANUC's new DR-3iB series of delta robots are specifically designed to maximize speed and versatility in picking and packing applications, especially in food handling and washdown environments. Based on the classic parallel-link design, the DR-3iB Series provides increased payload, inertia, and the longest reach of any FANUC delta robot (1600mm). But the details really make it shine: New design features make it easier than ever to program, clean and sanitize, while meeting strict food safety regulations.
