Hi all!
I would like to ask some help regarding to my cell design.
I use a Fanuc LR Mate 200iD robot but it can't reach every workpoint. I don't want to use another type of robot because we already bought this one.
Is there any way to extend the workspace of the robot? For example with a long, projected EOAT ? Is it a possible solution?
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you.

You can design your own custom EOAT. But you need to be sure about the payload condition at END OF ARM TOOLING . As your need to calculate the Max. Payload condition considering the center of gravity. You can use payload auto-calculation feature provided by FANUC. Its called IDENT feature .
You can follow below thread for more information.

Hello Jiang!
What are the tasks of the robot?
How much mm do you need to reach your workpoints?
Hi Jiang,
here is a must read for you which will enable you to have insights of how to extend the working space for your FANUC robot.

Good luck
Hi Guys,
thank you so much for your help. These articles and forum topics are awesome. Now I am on the right way.
The task of the robot is to pick two part from two different conveyor, assamble them and place the assambled parts to a press. After pressing place the part on output conveyor.
I need ~ 500 mm plus to reach every point. As I read the papers waht you suggest, I think a long EOAT will generate too high dynamic forces.
What if I move the robot with a servo driven linear unit? It could move the robot from the pick point to the place point. Is it feasible?
