30kg Payload 1889mm Reach Collaborative Robot CRX-30iA for Machine Tending Pick and place

Overview

• • The FANUC CRX-30iA is a six-axis collaborative robot rated for a 30 kg payload with a maximum reach of 1889 mm, positioned above the 10 kg CRX models for heavier parts.
• • Repeatability of ±0.05 mm keeps fixture loading and pallet patterns consistent even when the arm works close to its full reach.
• • The CRX series is certified to ISO 10218-1 and stops safely on light contact with a person, which supports a fenceless cell after the risk assessment.
• • Floor, wall and ceiling mounting options let the arm work above a machine tool, beside a conveyor or on a pedestal without a special adapter.
• • The compact R-30iB Mini Plus controller fits beside the machine, shortening cable runs and keeping the cell footprint small.
• • Hand-guided teaching through the tablet interface lets a line operator record a new path in minutes rather than hours.
• • Connection to third-party electric, pneumatic and vacuum grippers is straightforward, so tooling is not tied to one supplier.
• • FANUC +RVision integrated vision and +RPickTool part picking are available as options when the cell needs part location or bin picking.

Advantages

30 kg Payload Across a 1889 mm Envelope

• • A 30 kg payload covers heavy machined housings, die-cast parts and full carton layers that would overload a 10 kg cobot.
• • 1889 mm reach lets one arm serve two machine tools or a machine plus an outfeed conveyor from a single mounting point.
• • ±0.05 mm repeatability keeps heavy parts aligned in fixtures where a small offset would scrap the workpiece.
• • The arm holds rated payload across the working envelope, so cycle time does not change when the part weight increases.

Contact Safety in Shared Work Areas

• • Contact-stop behaviour certified to ISO 10218-1 allows an operator to work in the same cell without a fixed fence.
• • Smooth joint covers and a rounded arm profile reduce pinch points during manual teaching and part loading.
• • Floor, wall and ceiling mounting means the robot adapts to the machine layout instead of forcing a layout change.
• • The R-30iB Mini Plus controller supports FANUC vision and picking options without adding a separate control cabinet.

Fast Deployment and Low Maintenance

• • Hand-guided teaching on the tablet interface removes the need for offline programming on low-volume, high-mix work.
• • The maintenance-free mechanical design follows the FANUC industrial robot platform proven in continuous production.
• • Fast connection to third-party grippers keeps tooling cost and lead time low when a new part family is introduced.
• • A single controller platform across the CRX range simplifies spare parts and technician training for multi-robot plants.

Applications

• • CNC lathe and machining centre load and unload where the 30 kg payload covers heavier shafts, housings and blanks.
• • Die-cast and foundry tending, including extraction and quenching transfers that exceed the capacity of a 10 kg cobot.
• • Palletizing of cartons, crates and machined parts at layer weights up to 30 kg in shared end-of-line areas.
• • Multi-machine tending where the 1889 mm reach covers two machine doors and one conveyor from a single base.
• • Assembly of heavy subassemblies with press fitting, screw driving and connector insertion.
• • Pick and place of parts between fixtures, trays and conveyors in cells without fixed guarding.
• • Packaging and case packing where an operator loads by hand alongside the arm.
• • Quality inspection and gauge loading with camera or probe end effectors on heavy workpieces.

FAQ

What payload and reach does the CRX-30iA offer?

The CRX-30iA is rated for a 30 kg payload with a maximum reach of 1889 mm, which covers heavy machined parts, die-cast components and full carton layers that the smaller 10 kg CRX models cannot handle.

How accurate is the arm at full reach?

Repeatability is +/-0.05 mm, so part position stays consistent even when the arm works near its 1889 mm limit, which matters for fixture loading and pallet pattern accuracy.

Which mounting positions are supported?

The CRX-30iA supports floor, wall and ceiling mounting, so a cell can place the arm above a machine tool, beside a conveyor or on a pedestal without a special adapter kit.

Is a safety fence required around the robot?

The CRX series is certified to ISO 10218-1 and stops safely on light contact with a human, so a fenceless cell can be designed. The final guarding decision must follow the risk assessment of your process, tooling and layout.

How is the robot programmed?

Teaching is hand-guided through the tablet interface, so an operator moves the arm through the path and confirms points on screen. No text-based programming is needed to launch a first machine tending routine.
