10kg Payload 1418mm Reach Collaborative Robot CRX-10iA 10iAL for Machine Tending,Assembly

Overview

• • The FANUC CRX-10iA and CRX-10iA/L are six-axis collaborative robots rated for a 10 kg payload, built for cells where operators and machines share the same floor space.
• • Two arm lengths cover most plant layouts: 1249 mm reach on the CRX-10iA and 1418 mm reach on the CRX-10iA/L, both with the same 10 kg wrist capacity.
• • Repeatability of ±0.04 mm keeps part position stable through pick and place, assembly, dispensing and inspection cycles on every shift.
• • A smooth, rounded arm profile without exposed pinch points makes this cobot approachable for staff who have never programmed a robot before.
• • The CRX series is certified to ISO 10218-1 and stops safely on light contact with a person, so a fenceless cell can be designed after the risk assessment.
• • The compact R-30iB Mini Plus controller mounts beside the machine tool, shortening cable runs and freeing floor space in tight production areas.
• • Hand-guided teaching together with the tablet user interface lets an operator record a new path in minutes instead of hours of offline programming.
• • FANUC +RVision integrated vision and +RPickTool part picking are available as options, so vision guidance runs without a third-party vision PC.

Advantages

Contact Safety in Shared Workspaces

• • The arm stops safely on light contact with a human, which allows a fenceless collaborative cell once the risk assessment confirms the layout.
• • Compliance with ISO 10218-1 gives integrators a documented safety baseline for CE marking and internal audits.
• • Rounded joint covers and a smooth arm surface reduce pinch and shear points during manual teaching and part loading.
• • IP67 protection on the arm and IP54 on the controller keep the cobot working in coolant mist and dusty machine shop environments.

Fast Deployment and Simple Teaching

• • The lightweight arm and compact controller can be installed without lifting equipment, so a cell can be moved between machines by two technicians.
• • Manual guided teaching and the tablet interface cut commissioning time on low-volume, high-mix production runs.
• • Under-flip motion on J3 of the CRX-10iA/L gives easy access to the back side of a machine tool for load and unload tasks.
• • Standard I/O and simple connection to third-party grippers shorten the integration work for electric, pneumatic and vacuum end effectors.

Industrial Reliability with Low Maintenance

• • The CRX-10iA and CRX-10iA/L inherit the maintenance-free mechanical design that FANUC has proven across years of industrial robot production.
• • A 40 kg arm mass and a 20 kg controller keep transport, relocation and spare-part logistics simple for multi-site operators.
• • Rated for 0 to 45 °C ambient temperature with vibration up to 4.9 m/s², the cobot suits typical workshop conditions without extra climate control.
• • Noise of 70 dB or less supports comfortable shared working areas and helps plants meet workplace noise targets.

Applications

• • Machine tool load and unload for lathes, machining centres and grinding machines, including the CRX-10iA/L under-flip reach to the rear of the chuck.
• • Pick and place between conveyors, trays and fixtures at up to 2000 mm/s in high speed mode, with 1000 mm/s in collaborative mode.
• • 3D visual tracking with FANUC +RVision for parts arriving on a moving conveyor without mechanical fixturing.
• • Assembly tasks such as screw driving, press fitting and connector insertion where ±0.04 mm repeatability matters.
• • Inspection and quality checks with camera or probe end effectors on parts that operators load by hand.
• • Dispensing, gluing and sealing paths taught directly by hand, then replayed with consistent speed and position.
• • Light palletizing and depalletizing of cartons and totes in cells shared with warehouse staff.
• • Laboratory, electronics and medical device handling where a compact 10 kg payload cobot replaces repetitive manual transfers.

FAQ

What is the difference between the CRX-10iA and the CRX-10iA/L?

Both models carry a 10 kg payload and share the same controller and software. The CRX-10iA offers 1249 mm reach for compact cells, while the CRX-10iA/L extends reach to 1418 mm and adds under-flip motion on J3 for easier access to the back side of a machine.

Does the robot require a safety fence?

The CRX series is certified to ISO 10218-1 and stops safely on light contact with a human. A fenceless layout is therefore possible, but the final guarding decision must follow the risk assessment of your specific cell and local regulations.

Which controller is supplied with the cobot?

The CRX-10iA and CRX-10iA/L are matched with the R-30iB Mini Plus controller, rated at 1.5 kVA with a mass of 20 kg and a footprint of 410 x 277 x 370 mm, so it fits beside most machine tools.

Can the arm be mounted upside down or at an angle?

Yes. Floor, upside-down and angle mounting are all supported. Angle mounting requires a motion range restriction matched to the actual payload, and the allowable wrist moment and inertia limits of 34.8 / 26.0 / 11.0 Nm must be respected.

Which grippers and end effectors can be fitted?

The wrist flange accepts standard third-party electric, pneumatic and vacuum grippers, and FANUC provides straightforward I/O connection plus the +RPickTool option for part picking. Integrated +RVision is available when vision guidance is required.
