Trust our expertise in FANUC robotics integration for warehousing and packaging to elevate your operational efficiency and safety standards.

A typical FANUC robot installation for packaging and warehousing applications generally takes between 2 to 5 days, depending on several key factors. The installation timeline is influenced by the complexity of the automation system, such as the inclusion of FANUC-compatible tool changers, robotic conveyors, or other integrated components. The degree of integration with PLC or SCADA systems also plays a significant role, as more advanced communication and control setups require additional configuration and testing. Additionally, site readiness—including the availability of proper power supply, robot mounting infrastructure, and safety systems—can significantly impact the duration. Our team ensures that all aspects of the FANUC robot deployment, from power and grounding setup to system commissioning, are executed efficiently to minimize downtime and accelerate your automation goals.

Our on-call support team is equipped to handle urgent FANUC robot service calls, minimizing downtime and restoring automation as quickly as possible. Whether it’s a malfunctioning FANUC teach pendant, a fault in the robot I/O system, or a failure in the FANUC Dual Check Safety (DCS) configuration, our technicians are trained to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. Emergency FANUC robot maintenance response times and service rates may vary based on location and system complexity, but our priority is always to get your FANUC robotic automation back online with minimal disruption. Trust our expertise in FANUC robotics troubleshooting and repair to keep your operations running smoothly.

We provide a comprehensive warranty policy for all FANUC robot installations and repair services, ensuring peace of mind and long-term reliability. Our standard offering includes a 30–90 day limited labor warranty on all FANUC robot service work performed by our certified technicians. Additionally, all FANUC replacement parts, including components such as robotic sensors, safety devices, and teach pendants, are covered under the original manufacturer’s warranty. Please note that this warranty applies exclusively to labor performed by TGEP and does not extend to failures involving third-party equipment or unauthorized modifications. Any alterations made to the FANUC robotic system by non-certified personnel will void the warranty. We strongly recommend reviewing the full terms outlined in your FANUC service agreement to understand the scope and limitations of coverage. Our goal is to ensure your FANUC automation system remains fully operational and protected against unexpected issues.

Yes, we offer expert FANUC robot repair services for older models, including legacy FANUC controllers such as the R-J3, R-30iA, and R-30iB series. Our technicians are highly experienced in servicing and maintaining these earlier-generation FANUC robotic systems, ensuring continued performance and reliability in your automation processes. While we can effectively diagnose and repair issues with older FANUC robots and controllers, please note that sourcing OEM FANUC replacement parts for discontinued models may involve extended lead times due to limited availability. We are committed to helping you extend the life of your FANUC automation equipment through professional support, legacy system expertise, and access to genuine FANUC components whenever possible.

Yes, we can fully integrate your FANUC robot with a wide range of existing PLC systems, including Allen-Bradley PLCs, Siemens PLCs, and MicroLogix PLCs, among others. Our integration capabilities support multiple communication protocols such as digital I/O, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and DeviceNet, ensuring compatibility with both legacy and modern industrial control systems. Whether you’re using Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Siemens S7 series, or MicroLogix 1100/1400, we configure the FANUC robot controller to communicate seamlessly with your PLC, enabling synchronized operation across your automation environment. This includes mapping I/O signals, configuring network settings, and optimizing data exchange for real-time control and diagnostics. Our expertise in FANUC robot-to-PLC integration ensures a smooth, reliable connection that enhances the performance and flexibility of your packaging or warehousing system.

Dual Check Safety (DCS) is FANUC’s proprietary, software-based safety system that plays a critical role in modern robotic automation. DCS enables the creation of virtual safety zones within the FANUC robot controller, allowing precise control over robot motion without relying solely on physical barriers like hard fencing. This not only enhances operator safety but also optimizes floor space and improves workflow flexibility in packaging and warehousing environments. By defining safe zones and speed limits, DCS ensures that the FANUC robot operates only within approved parameters, significantly reducing the risk of accidents or equipment damage. Importantly, DCS is often a requirement for meeting stringent industrial safety standards and is occasionally mandated by insurance providers as part of risk mitigation protocols. Integrating DCS into your FANUC robot installation demonstrates a commitment to safety, compliance, and operational excellence.

Yes, we provide basic FANUC robot training as part of our installation and support services, focusing on essential skills such as robot operation, teach pendant navigation, and routine safety procedures. This hands-on training ensures your team can confidently operate the FANUC robot system in day-to-day packaging or warehousing tasks. For more advanced topics—such as FANUC robot programming, custom logic development, or multi-axis coordination—we typically refer customers to certified FANUC training courses or trusted FANUC system integrators. These advanced programs offer in-depth instruction on topics like TP programming, KAREL, and robot vision integration, ensuring your team is fully equipped to manage complex automation workflows.

The cost to install a FANUC robot can vary significantly depending on several key factors related to your specific application and system requirements. These include the FANUC robot model and payload capacity, the type of end effector or tooling used, the complexity of I/O wiring and integration with your existing PLC or SCADA system, and the level of safety infrastructure required—such as FANUC Dual Check Safety (DCS) zones, light curtains, and E-stop devices.

For most standard industrial installations, you can expect the electrical installation labor cost alone to range from $1,000 to over $10,000. This estimate typically covers services such as power and grounding setup, I/O wiring, teach pendant configuration, and basic system commissioning. Additional costs may apply for custom programming, advanced safety integration, or mechanical modifications.
