Lightweight Collaborative robot CRX-10iA
The CRX-10iA establishes a completely new level of industrial robots working hand in hand with manufacturing workers. Compared to the existing CR series of collaborative robots from FANUC, the brand new CRX-10iA is significantly lighter and therefore can be used for easy installation on a broad range of applications such as driverless transport systems (AGV).
Also the Teach Pendant for CRX-10iA can be replaced with a tablet computer, which increases ease-of-use by the special new user interface. The new user interface is particularly suitable for users with little programming experience by intuitive operation. The CRX-10iA is therefore ideal for customers who want to use robots in their production for the first time.
While customers in automotive industries have already strongly automated their manufacturing processes, small and medium-sized companies are experiencing a steady increase in demand. The CRX-10iA comes in two versions: As a short-arm version with a reach of 1.2 meters and as a long-arm version with an arm reaching up to 1.4 meters. The load capacity is 10 kilograms each. While all six models of the existing "green" CR series of collaborative FANUC robots are based on the company's proven and widely used industrial robots, the new CRX-10iA collaborative robot opens a new chapter in the history of the Japanese automation specialist.
Simple functions and programming
At first glance, the ergonomic design of the white CRX-10iA is striking. Behind the slim robot arm and body lies the well-known FANUC quality - coupled with simple functions, simple installation and simple programming. Like his colleagues from the "green" CR series, the CRX-10iA can be equipped with a vision system that enables autonomous loading and unloading of containers or shelving systems.
