I have a Fanuc P50 painting robot that is available for donation

My company is retiring a Fanuc P50 painting robot. it is a 6 axis robot complete with controller. it is fully functional, It was removed from service due to age. I would much rather this robot be put to some use than to be scrapped for base metal.

Please let me know if it is wanted so I can start the internal paperwork.

Thank You

Orien Love

@Team_Science and @Team_Creative_Arts may be interested in this.

Oh I wanna do this!

Thank you for offering it but I don’t believe we will use it inside of CA but others might be very interested @frank_lima

If the space doesn’t use it I would be interested

I am one of the people working with the Robotic Arms in Science.

@andrewboerder is also one. I believe we met you.

Let’s see what we can do.

The problem is where to put it…

7

I mean, somewhere surely?

8

Well, the controller for the other robot can go under it perhaps?

9

Ok no problem then p50s have offset wrists to…it’s a cousin of my 150 and 155

10

Put it in storage until 102 is ready for move-in?

11

Yes not a bad idea…it can stay at my house for free…if no one objects

12

sounds like it is wanted, I will start the paperwork process on my end and once I have all the approvals I will get back to the group and we can work out the movement details.

This is a fun robot to play with. I also have most if not all of the documentation.

And all the software?..

14

I also have the means by which to pick it up load it and unload it…

15

If it is being donated to DMS, it would need to go into DMS off-site storage. Or more likely the current robot would go and this one would stay,

16

Sounds great! …

Should we replace our current manageable size robot with a larger robot before we get more space?

I’m not sure how big it is going to be. I’m sure we will figure something out.

The software is loaded, and I believe that I can find the memory card. I also have a full backup of the controller on a server that I can download. It was running when removed and I was careful not to damage the wiring. we have a forklift onsite that can load the robot into a truck or trailer, I will try to find a good pallet to bolt it to for transport. I believe that I have asked all the correct people and will get the paperwork routing on Monday.

As seen in the pictures the robot is about the size of a large person, next to the robot on the right are 2 large kitchen trashcans stacked together for reference.

@Josh_Melnick … I believe this needs your explicit approval
