Industrial robot MELFA RV-FR series
FR series concept
With 3 key features, the FR Series is capable of handling virtually all your automation needs.
- "Next-generation intelligent functions" make it simple to carry out work that has always defied automation.
- "Safe, collaborative work applications" allow robots and people to work together with high levels of safety.
- "FA-IT integration functions" support nextgeneration manufacturing.
Advanced intelligent technology
Enhanced cooperation with vision sensors and more advanced force sensors allow more advanced tasks to be accomplished at higher speeds and with greater precision.

Introduction of MELFA Smart Puls
- MELFA Smart Plus is an option that brings next-generation intelligence to MELFA robots.
- Inserting a MELFA Smart Plus card into a robot controller enables a multitude of intelligent functions.
- Advanced features such as integration functions for the various sensors and autonomous startup adjustment functions are provided for all phases of customer’s operations, from design and startup through to operation and maintenance.
Greater advances in intelligent technolog
Through the use of highly accurate vision sensors and force sensors that control the levels of force applied by robots, it is now possible to automate extremely difficult tasks.
- Example of intelligent technology use
Force sensor, 3D/2D vision sensor
Cooperative control
Tracking accuracy enhancement function
Preventing interference, and other functions
Easier robot information management
FA-IT Integration
Enhanced cooperation with FA products
The seamless integration of machines enables flexible manufacturing tailored to the type of production.
This improves productivity and maintainability and can reduce the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
- Integration with the MELSEC iQ-R series PLCs enables more advanced tasks.
- Compatible with CC-Link IE Field and SLMP, allows seamless data communication.
- Integrates production site operations with the GOT for improved operation and maintainability.
- Robot information and program states can be saved, simplifying error identification.
- Data specific to robot mechanisms is recorded and saved inside the mechanisms, simplifying maintenance.
Improved safety
Collaborative human-machine operation support that includes safety options allows working areas to be used jointly by people and robots. This ensures that factories provide both productivity and flexibility.
*Customers must conduct risk assessments.
- Safety features are provided that make risk assisment easier.
- Supports safe system connection through duplicated safe I/O.
- CC-Link IE TSN Safety communication function(CR800-R) is supported, simplifying system configuration.
- Monitors robot positions and speeds.
- Allows the working parameters (logic) of the safety monitoring function to be defined.
CC-Link IE TSN Safety communication function
CC-Link IE TSN Safety communication function(CR800-R) is supported for a simpler system configuration. It reduces wiring for the safety devices and enables you to directly mount robot CPU modules on the safety CPU module slots.
