CRX-10iA 10kg Payload 1249mm Reach ±0.04mm IP67 Grinding & Polishing Robot

FANUC CRX-10iA Collaborative Grinding & Polishing Robot

The FANUC CRX-10iA is a six-axis collaborative robot engineered for grinding, polishing and other surface finishing work where a lightweight, easy-to-deploy arm must work safely alongside operators. It carries a 10 kg payload across a 1249 mm reach and holds a repeatability of ±0.04 mm (ISO 9283), so this grinding and polishing robot keeps consistent pressure and position on curved and complicated surfaces. A slim, smooth body and a compact R-30iB Mini Plus controller let a small team install the cell without lifting equipment.

Safety and ease of use are built in. The CRX series stops safely upon light contact with a person and is certified to meet the requirements of ISO 10218-1, so it can share space with operators during manual guidance. Teaching is done by hand-guiding the arm and using the intuitive tablet user interface, and third-party grippers connect easily. FANUC +RVision integrated vision and +RPickTool options support part location and pick routines, while the maintenance-free design and IP67 protection on the arm suit the dust and debris common to grinding and polishing stations. Collaborative mode runs up to 1000 mm/s and high speed mode reaches up to 2000 mm/s for fast finishing cycles.

Technical Parameters

• Load and unload support and 3D visual tracking for finishing lines

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What payload and reach does the CRX-10iA offer?
A: This grinding and polishing robot provides a 10 kg payload with a 1249 mm reach, enough to carry finishing tools and workpieces while covering a compact finishing cell.

Q: How accurate is it for grinding and polishing?
A: Repeatability is ±0.04 mm (ISO 9283), so the arm keeps consistent tool pressure and position across curved and complicated surfaces.

Q: Is it safe to work next to operators?
A: Yes. The CRX-10iA stops safely on light contact and is certified to ISO 10218-1, allowing it to share space with operators during hand-guided teaching and production.

Q: Can it handle a dusty grinding environment?
A: The robot carries an IP67 protection rating and a maintenance-free design, so it tolerates the dust and debris typical of grinding and polishing stations.

Q: How is it controlled and integrated?
A: It runs on the compact R-30iB Mini Plus controller with a tablet user interface, and supports third-party grippers plus +RVision integrated vision and +RPickTool options for part location.
