Industrial automation expert FANUC will host a live demonstration of an automated drilling
cell developed by Airbus and incorporating FANUC robot technology. Visitors to stand 18-
449 can also see first-hand a new generation of CNC, the FANUC FS500i-A, which enables
complex manufacturing environments to meet high precision and adaptability demands. In
addition, FANUC will showcase its in-house robot system building capabilities.
The centrepiece of the UK stand will be the robotic drilling system, which employs a FANUC
M-800iA/60 six-axis robot, as well as a drilling effector controlled by a FANUC CNC and a
mobile platform, both designed and built by Airbus. Designed for aerospace components, it
has improved drilling accuracy and increased productivity for the aerospace giant, while
releasing operatives to work on more creative and value-added tasks.
