The landscape of industrial automation has seen a significant shift with the advent of collaborative robots, or ‘cobots’. FANUC America’s latest introduction, the CRX-10iA/L Collaborative Paint Robot, unveiled at Automate 2024, heralds a new era in this transformative journey. By blending the agility of cobots with advanced painting technology, the CRX-10iA/L stands out as both a technical marvel and a potential economic boon for businesses of all sizes. Drawing from FANUC’s deep-seated history of excellence in robotic painting systems—traditionally dominated by the automotive and heavy industrial sectors—the new cobot extends these benefits to enhance operational efficiency and elevate safety standards in industrial painting.
User-Friendly Innovation
Distinctively accessible, the CRX-10iA/L enables users, even those without prior robotics experience, to master its operation swiftly thanks to its intuitive programming system. Utilizing a tablet interface replete with graphical icons and the simplicity of lead-through teaching, the barrier to entry for utilizing robotic technology has been dramatically lowered. This cobot comes equipped with explosion-proof capabilities, a generous 10 kg payload capacity, and an extensive 1.418 m reach. The need for constant repositioning of either the robot or the workpiece is eliminated, optimizing the workflow process. The CRX-10iA/L’s lightweight structure, at just 45 kg, and compatibility with the R-30iB Mini Plus controller, allows for painless integration into various work environments, making it a versatile addition to FANUC’s CRX product family.
Safety and Efficiency Redefined
The CRX-10iA/L Collaborative Paint Robot is more than just a technological advancement; it’s a tool that redefines safety and efficiency within the painting process. Facilitating consistent quality and reducing the hazards associated with paint applications, the CRX-10iA/L situates itself at the forefront of workplace innovation. Equipped with features aimed at safeguarding the working environment and bolstered by FANUC’s trusted history in automation, the CRX-10iA/L is poised to transform the dynamics of paint automation and set a new standard for collaborative robotics in the industrial sector.
