    I need to run an LR Mate 200Id in an environment where the ambient temperature is about 90 degrees F if no workpiece is present. If a workpiece (~275 deg) is present, other metal objects in the vicinity and at the same distance the base of the (inverted) robot will be reach a surface temperature of about 130 degrees.

    The robot has plenty of cycle time and will move with an average of lets say 500 mm/s and have a duty cycle of less than 50%. The load is 3 kg.


    Will that work or do I need to implement some sort of cooling? I have to be careful with external fans, as I am not allowed to blow it on the workpiece. Any other recommendations? Do they make some kind off cooling jackets or something similar?

    If it is not ok, what do I have to be afraid off? Will the robot stop moving if it senses it is overheating? Is that a based on a variable that I can change? (i would want to move it away from the workpiece before stopping).

    Edited once, last by IRockWell (August 2, 2021 at 8:31 PM).

    In Roboguide you can simulate the cycle and ambient temp and it will estimate if the servo's will overheat. Just make sure to include a wait command to account for duty cycle.

    On some robots there is an option to add cooling, or you can try removing some of the covers.

    This is one of those things where I would contact Fanuc directly. The temperatures don't sound too bad honestly.

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!

    Check out my example Fanuc Ethernet/IP Explicit Messaging program here!

    Fanuc isn't a whole lot of help in this regard, but I'm doing a similar application myself, except using a co-bot and an ambient of ~140+ degrees. I'm exploring the option of using a cooling suit from Roboworld, you may want to do the same. Here is their address and good luck!
