FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the FANUC R-2000iC/165F cost? +

The FANUC R-2000iC/165F price is available by quotation and depends on controller, tooling, process package, safety and integration. The complete system may include weld gun or gripper, dressout, pedestal, vision, fixtures, PLC, guarding, programming and acceptance. The robot arm is only one part of the investment. A usable industrial robot cell may also require the controller, FlexPendant or operator interface, pedestal, end effector, dress pack, vision, fixtures, safety equipment, PLC and fieldbus integration, guarding, programming, installation, training and production acceptance. Freight, taxes, customs, spare parts and local support can also change the delivered cost.

Before comparing offers, confirm the exact variant, controller generation, condition, included equipment, software licences and service responsibilities. The better buying question is: what is included, what performance is guaranteed, and who supports the complete cell?

You can request FANUC R-2000iC/165F pricing or a complete automation quote through Anton Robots before committing.

Where can I buy the FANUC R-2000iC/165F? +

You can buy or request the FANUC R-2000iC/165F through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps industrial buyers verify the genuine commercial route, compare new, used, refurbished or integrator-built packages and determine whether the FANUC R-2000iC/165F matches the payload, reach and process. R-2000iC/165F remains an active FANUC heavy-payload robot with an official product page and quote route.

Before buying, confirm the exact robot variant, serial number where applicable, controller, RobotWare version, mounting orientation, environmental protection, end effector, process equipment, safety architecture, shipping, warranty and commissioning. A bare manipulator listing is not the same as a production-ready cell. Professional buyers should compare the total installed system, production target and support route rather than only the lowest displayed robot price.

To start, request FANUC R-2000iC/165F buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.

Where can I find a FANUC R-2000iC/165F for sale? +

You can find the FANUC R-2000iC/165F for sale through FANUC, authorised integrators, distributors and Anton Robots. Finding a FANUC R-2000iC/165F for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is a new supported robot, an integrator package, remaining stock, a used manipulator, a refurbished system or an incomplete arm without the correct controller and software. Confirm controller, dressout, tool, hours for used units, calibration, IP option, software, safety, warranty and integration.

A useful comparison should cover the exact payload and reach variant, controller generation, operating hours, maintenance, calibration, batteries, cables, tooling, safety hardware, delivery, commissioning and warranty. Avoid treating a marketplace listing as proof that ABB will support the exact serial number or configuration.

If you are evaluating a FANUC R-2000iC/165F, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robotic arms for the same application.

Can I get a quote for the FANUC R-2000iC/165F? +

Yes. You can request a FANUC R-2000iC/165F quote through Anton Robots. A useful quote should identify the exact robot variant, controller, operator interface, RobotWare options, cabling, mounting, protection class, freight, warranty and available support.

The proposal should define tool and part mass, centre of gravity, reach, process, cycle, mounting, environment, fixtures, safety and acceptance. The supplier also needs the part weight and dimensions, tool mass and centre of gravity, required reach, cycle time, accuracy, process equipment, floor layout, utilities, communications and safety constraints. This allows the proposal to be based on the real application rather than a generic arm price. Ask for a clear statement of integration scope, production acceptance test, exclusions, delivery milestones and responsibility after commissioning.

Anton Robots can help compare the FANUC R-2000iC/165F against other industrial robot arms and prepare a package around the actual task.

What is included when you buy the FANUC R-2000iC/165F? +

A typical FANUC R-2000iC/165F package may include the heavy manipulator, R-30iB Plus controller, pendant, robot cables, software and selected welding or handling equipment. The exact contents vary by country, controller generation, integrator and application, so buyers should request a written bill of supply:

  • FANUC R-2000iC/165F robot
  • R-30iB Plus controller and pendant
  • Robot and power cables
  • Pedestal and anchoring hardware
  • Spot-welding gun, gripper or process tool
  • Dress pack, iRVision or process sensors
  • Fixtures, PLC, fieldbus and safety cell
  • Programming, installation, training and support

Weld gun, gripper, fixtures, dressout and safety system define the practical payload and cell performance. End effectors and integration are especially important. The same robot can be configured for welding, machine tending, palletizing, handling, dispensing or assembly, but each task needs different tooling, fixtures, process equipment and safety validation. A low robot-only price may exclude most of what makes the system productive.

You can request an itemised FANUC R-2000iC/165F package quote through Anton Robots before approving the cell.

What are the payload, reach and repeatability of FANUC R-2000iC/165F? +

The R-2000iC/165F has a 165 kg payload, 2,655 mm reach and ±0.05 mm repeatability. FANUC lists six axes, approximately 1,090 kg mechanical weight and about 3 kW average power consumption. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. The 165 kg includes tool, cables and part, while centre of gravity and inertia affect allowable performance.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify complete load, centre of gravity, wrist moments, inertia, reach, cycle and load diagram. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Design around the heaviest real tool-and-part combination.

You can request FANUC R-2000iC/165F application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

What applications is FANUC R-2000iC/165F used for? +

It supports spot welding, material handling, palletizing, depalletizing, machine tending, bag handling and finishing. FANUC examples include raw-material bag depalletizing, wheel palletizing, sortation and automotive production. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. Each process requires different tooling, dressout, fixtures, safety and environmental controls.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify payload, reach, process, forces, cycle, tool, fixtures, utilities, environment and acceptance. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Buy a process-specific cell rather than only the robot.

You can request FANUC R-2000iC/165F application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

Is FANUC R-2000iC/165F suitable for spot welding? +

Yes, FANUC describes it as a high-output automotive spot-welding robot. A compact wrist and optional spot-welding dressout improve gun access and cable management. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. The weld gun, transformer, dressout and process media consume payload and can restrict the working envelope.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify gun mass, centre of gravity, weld force, dressout, water, power, reach, cycle, maintenance and quality. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Use a complete FANUC or integrator weld-gun load study.

You can request FANUC R-2000iC/165F application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

What environmental protection does FANUC R-2000iC/165F have? +

It has IP54 body protection with IP56 optional and IP67 at the wrist and J3 arm. This supports automotive, material-handling and process applications with contamination near the working end. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. The dress pack, tool, sensors and controller may have different ratings.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify exact option, process fluids, dust, cleaning, tool rating, connectors, temperature and maintenance. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Specify the whole-cell environment before ordering.

How does FANUC R-2000iC/165F compare with R-2000iC/210F? +

Both provide 2,655 mm reach and ±0.05 mm repeatability, while 165F carries 165 kg and 210F carries 210 kg. They use similar mechanical size and mass, but 210F provides higher allowable wrist moments and inertia. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. The 210 kg model may cost more and is unnecessary when 165F retains sufficient tool and part margin.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify complete payload, centre of gravity, inertia, cycle, gun or gripper, future loads, price and availability. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Choose 165F when it meets the dynamic load with margin.

Can FANUC R-2000iC/165F be used for palletizing? +

Yes, it can perform heavy palletizing and depalletizing with suitable grippers and vision. Applications include wheels, bags, raw materials, boxes and mixed products that need six-axis orientation. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. A dedicated four-axis palletizer may be faster and more efficient for simple vertical case stacking.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify product and gripper mass, pallet pattern, stack height, orientation, infeed, vision, cycle and floor space. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Compare it with M-410 when palletizing is the only task.

Should I buy R-2000iC/165F or R-2000iD/165FH? +

The R-2000iC/165F is the established C-generation model, while R-2000iD/165FH is the newer compact-generation alternative. FANUC states that the iD generation can reduce installation area and add newer controller and mechanical benefits. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. Existing tools, foundations, programs and dressouts may favour iC compatibility.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify payload, reach, footprint, controller, mounting, dressout, cycle, migration, support and total installed cost. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Use iC for compatibility and compare iD for greenfield cells.

Can the FANUC R-2000iC/165F be shipped internationally? +

The FANUC R-2000iC/165F can be supplied internationally through FANUC and authorised heavy-automation partners. Industrial robot delivery depends on the destination country, robot condition, controller, freight method, export rules, customs and local service coverage. Confirm industrial freight, rigging, controller standard, foundation, tooling, local service and commissioning responsibility.

Before ordering, confirm who disconnects, preserves, packs, lifts, insures, imports, installs, anchors, reconnects, calibrates and recommissions the system. Used robots should be shipped with transport restraints, controller cabinets, FlexPendant, cables, backups and maintenance records. A robot that can physically be transported is not necessarily supported or ready for production in another country.

You can request international availability for the FANUC R-2000iC/165F through Anton Robots so the complete delivery and commissioning route can be checked. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment.

Is the FANUC R-2000iC/165F in stock and how long does delivery take? +

FANUC R-2000iC/165F availability and lead time can change according to model status, variant, controller, options, integrator capacity and destination. The model is current, while controller, dressout, tooling and integrator engineering determine total lead time.

Before committing to a production date, ask whether the robot is factory ordered, remaining stock, used, refurbished or already allocated, and whether the controller, tooling, safety system and integration resources share the same schedule. Cell design, RobotStudio simulation, manufacturing of fixtures, software, factory acceptance testing, freight, installation and site acceptance often take longer than obtaining the arm itself. You can request current FANUC R-2000iC/165F availability and project lead time through Anton Robots.

Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment.

What warranty and support should I check for the FANUC R-2000iC/165F? +

Before buying the FANUC R-2000iC/165F, check the warranty or refurbishment guarantee, covered components, service territory, repair process, software entitlement, spare-parts availability and who supports the integrated cell. Confirm FANUC coverage for robot and controller and integrator coverage for weld gun, gripper, fixtures, PLC and safety. Ask:

  • Is the manipulator, controller, FlexPendant and process equipment covered?
  • Who handles diagnostics, calibration, repairs and replacement parts?
  • Are RobotWare licences, backups and RobotStudio files transferred?
  • Are preventive maintenance, grease, batteries and dress packs included?
  • Who supports the gripper, welder, vision, PLC and safety system?
  • What response time and production-recovery commitment is provided?

For a legacy robot, serial-number support and spare-parts horizon are primary buying criteria. Contact Anton Robots to review the complete package. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment.

Is the FANUC R-2000iC/165F worth buying? +

The FANUC R-2000iC/165F is worth considering if you need a current high-output heavy robot for 165 kg handling, welding, palletizing or automotive production. Its strongest value comes from its 2.655 m reach, compact wrist, repeatability, robust R-2000 mechanics and established FANUC ecosystem.

However, a robot arm only creates value when the task, tool, fixture, controller, safety design, cycle time and support are correctly engineered. It is a large safeguarded industrial robot and should not be oversized for medium-payload tasks that a smaller robot can handle. Buyers should compare total installed cost, expected throughput, quality, uptime, maintenance, energy, changeover and remaining product life rather than only payload and purchase price. For a legacy unit, a low acquisition cost can be outweighed by integration, batteries, calibration, parts and downtime risk.
