Product Details

FANUC A05B-2255 series is the well-known iPendant handheld teach pendant developed for FANUC R-30iB and R-30iB Plus robot controllers, serving as the core portable human-machine interface for industrial robot programming, jog operation, status monitoring and on-site troubleshooting. This series includes multiple suffix variants such as C100, C101, C102, C202, differing in screen specification, keyboard layout, language version and touch configuration, and all of them adopt the unified A05B-2255 base platform. It is connected to the robot main cabinet by a dedicated flexible teach pendant cable, allowing operators to move freely around the robot work cell for safe manual operation.

The teach pendant integrates a color LCD display, membrane shortcut key matrix, touch input layer, three-position deadman switch and large red emergency stop button, which forms a complete safety operation logic. The three-position enabling switch is a critical safety design: it only outputs enabling signal when held at the middle position, cutting off robot servo power immediately if released fully or squeezed hard, effectively protecting personnel from accidental robot movement. Operators can jog each robot axis in joint, world, tool and user coordinate modes, create and edit TP programs, set motion speed, configure payload parameters, check servo load data, read alarm logs, back up system files and calibrate vision offset values for iR Vision systems. It also supports quick access to robot auxiliary I/O signals, PMC diagnosis and cycle time statistics.

The ergonomic handheld housing is wrapped with anti-slip rubber protective bumper, resisting impact, scratch, cutting oil mist and metal dust inside welding, handling and assembly workshops. The membrane keys have long service life and stable feedback after frequent pressing. The built-in USB port supports program import and export through U disk, simplifying program migration and backup work between different robot cells. The communication between teach pendant and robot controller adopts FANUC proprietary high-speed serial protocol, with fast screen refresh and low operation response delay. Different suffix versions are available for global language options, matching the operation habits of maintenance engineers in different regions.

It is a mainstream replacement spare part for original teach pendants with screen damage, touch failure, key aging, deadman switch malfunction, emergency stop failure and communication interruption on FANUC R-30iB robot systems. Every unit will pass touch calibration, key function test, E-stop safety test, deadman switch safety logic verification and robot controller communication matching inspection before shipment, ensuring all safety interlock functions and man-machine interaction functions work normally. Replacing this iPendant can restore robot programming and manual jog function rapidly, avoid automation line shutdown caused by unavailable teach operation. It is widely deployed in automotive welding, bin picking, machine tending, palletizing, dispensing and other FANUC robot workstations.
