Shortlist the source-listed M-10, M-20 and R-2000 handling platforms without treating all models as welding robots. M-20iD/25 already has a dedicated specification page in this catalog. Where the supplied reference provides photographs rather than a readable model table, obtain the current manufacturer sheet before assigning a payload, reach or controller to the requested variant.
Select a handling or palletizing robot from the complete moving load and all required handoff poses. The gripper, adapters, hoses and retained part count toward the payload, while center of gravity and inertia may restrict the acceptable motion even when mass is below a headline limit. A reach value does not prove access to the lowest pallet layer, the farthest machine fixture or a recovery position. Define product presentation, gripping surface, part variation, confirmation signals and what happens after a dropped or missing part. Palletizing also needs the case range, pallet pattern, stack height, conveyors and the method for exchanging full pallets. Compare a robot-only offer with a cell proposal only after tooling, controller, safety, programming and commissioning have been separated. For existing equipment, provide the exact controller, software and mechanical revision so sourcing and integration are based on a defined configuration rather than a model-family assumption.
Published specifications
Published selection values: Models: M-10 / M-20 / R-2000; exact variant required · Configuration: Robot, controller, tooling and integration selected separately. Read each model row separately; family ranges are not combined ratings.
Compare the model before you compare the quote.

Which configuration fits the task?
Articulated arm
Evaluate wrist orientation, usable reach and tool inertia at each pose.
Palletizing mechanism
Match the stack envelope and gripping method to the case family.
Cartesian handling
Define useful strokes, overhead access and the complete transfer path.

| What to confirm | Selection inputs | Project action |
|---|---|---|
| Part plus gripper mass, center of gravity and inertia | Models: M-10 / M-20 / R-2000; exact variant required · Configuration: Robot, controller, tooling and integration selected separately | Select the exact model and define the loaded operating conditions. |
| All pick/place poses, presentation and changeovers | Current part drawing, process sequence and layout. | Agree the motion, access and changeover checks before ordering. |
| Controller, signals, safety and recovery conditions | Existing equipment versions, service connections and access limits. | Assign an owner for each interface and its acceptance test. |
| Delivery and acceptance scope | Itemized equipment, integration, freight and site-work proposal. | Agree inclusions, exclusions, testing and handover responsibilities. |

Questions before you request a quote
01How should I select FANUC Handling Robot Selection?+
Compare the listed arrangements: M-10iA-8L / M-10iA-12 / M-10iD-8L / M-10iD-12 / M-20iA / M-20iA-12 / M-20iB-25 / M-20iD-25 / M-20iD-35 / R-2000iC-165F. Start with part plus gripper mass, center of gravity and inertia, then define all pick/place poses, presentation and changeovers. Use the model table to shortlist equipment and the project drawing to decide the final configuration. A family name alone does not define the supplied package.
02Can robot payload be treated as the allowed part weight?+
No. Include the gripper, adaptors, services and part, then check the manufacturer’s center-of-gravity, wrist moment and inertia limits for the exact model and motion. Compare the full transfer envelope and controller package as well. Payload and reach are shortlist inputs, not a guaranteed production cycle.
03What determines the equipment quotation?+
A FANUC handling robot selection quotation depends on the selected model or arrangement, tooling, control package, services, safeguards, testing and delivery scope. Separate equipment-only supply from complete-cell integration. Confirm quantity, destination, documentation, packaging and site work in the written proposal; prices and availability are not inferred from catalog values.
04Can the quotation include integration and commissioning?+
The proposal can define equipment sourcing and partner-supported integration as separate work packages. Specify mechanical and electrical installation, software, commissioning, training, FAT/SAT, spares and service ownership. Existing robot/controller versions and site utilities must be identified before an interface or installation commitment is agreed.
05What should I send to request a project proposal?+
Send part plus gripper mass, center of gravity and inertia; all pick/place poses, presentation and changeovers; controller, signals, safety and recovery conditions. Add drawings, quantity, destination and the acceptance method. Identify existing equipment by model, nameplate and software revision. These inputs allow the technical proposal, interfaces and commercial exclusions to be discussed together.
