FANUC M-1iA Tabletop Education Cell for industrial robotics training

Introduce students to industrial robot operation and programming with the FANUC M-1A Tabletop Education Cell. This compact, enclosed training system uses a six-axis parallel-link robot to demonstrate the high-speed, precise movement required for small-part handling, assembly and automation applications.

The system combines an industrial FANUC robot, controller, programming software, mechanical gripper and safety-interlocked enclosure in a classroom-ready platform. Students gain hands-on experience with the same fundamental robot programming concepts used throughout modern manufacturing.

Teach industrial robot programming and small-part automation in a compact, enclosed platform designed for education.

Compact Robotics Training

Six-Axis Robot

The FANUC M-1A/0.5A uses a parallel-link design capable of precise, coordinated motion for small-part handling and assembly exercises.

Enclosed Work Area

An acrylic enclosure with a safety-interlocked access door creates a controlled environment for hands-on robot operation and programming.

Classroom Ready

The tabletop format allows schools to introduce industrial robotics without requiring the space needed for a larger training cart or production-scale workcell.
