iRPickTool/iRPickPRO Introduction

This video provides a clear and comprehensive overview of FANUC’s iRPickTool and iRPickPRO. It explains the purpose of iRPickTool as a software option designed for conveyor‑tracking applications and highlights the differences between the basic version (J944) and the standard version (J945). The presenter outlines essential features such as line and circular tracking, vision‑based part detection using iRVision, automated part queuing, and tools for optimizing applications, including multiple gripper zones and part‑present checks. The video also emphasizes iRPickTool’s load‑balancing capabilities, which allow multiple robots to share work and automatically redistribute load if one robot goes down, as well as its recipe management system for handling multiple products. It concludes with an introduction to iRPickPRO, FANUC’s simulation software used to model, analyze, and optimize conveyor‑tracking systems, enabling users to evaluate reach, throughput, robot duty, reducer life, and overall system performance.
