We installed 6 Fanuc robots back 1999-2000.I have some concerns about spare parts,service,etc. We have the following :
3- M-410i RJ-2
3- M-410i RJ-3
We have 2 production lines with 3 robots on each line.
I would like to replace 3 robots at a time by shutting
down 1 production line at a time. The bad enonomic times
does not give us much of a possibility to do this. So I have a few questions:
1.How difficult is it to duplicate the programs,user frames
teach points,etc. from a RJ-2 or RJ-3 to a newer Fanuc
robot?
2.Would it be wise to buy used robots,same reducers,components
etc. and use it for spare parts till the economy gets
better?
3.If any of you have any older RJ-2's or RJ-3's what do you
think of spare part availability and service?
4.What is the worst thing that can happen?
Thanks so much for your time.
