M-16iB Series ™

Basic Description
The M-16iB series is a six-axis,
modular construction, electric servo-
driven robot designed for a variety of
industrial applications. Based on its
simple and reliable construction, the
M-16iB series provides sophisticated
motion control and consistent
performance with high productivity.
The robot controller and easy-to-use
HandlingTool™ application software
provide accurate and consistent path
performance.

The M-16iB series, the latest

generation material handling robot,
has a compact design with improved
motion range and speed. The
