CR-35iA, the first collaborative robot from Fanuc
Fanuc launches first-ever force limited Collaborative Robot CR-35iA. It is the first industrial robot of its kind which is able to work along side human employees without the need for fencing, with the ability to lift and move heavy objects up to 35 kg.
At first glance you'll notice the differences between CR-35iAand the rest of FANUC robot family. It is green, have a soft shell and not surrounded by a safety fence. However, it is extremely reliable and liked by people because it can perform a variety of repetitive tasks and heavy lifting, helping to free people up to do other jobs. Finally, just like all FANUC robots, CR-35iA is designed to help increase manufacturers’ productivity, product quality and profitability.
Although it is the first of its kind in FANUC's 40+ year history of industrial robots, deep down it is still part of the same family - The industry's widest range of industrial robots in the world... and growing.
CR-35iA is combine unrivaled strength with outstanding safety to make interactive robot/human collaboration possible for a much wider range of applications. In contrast to yellow FANUC robots, its green colour lets everyone know it is designed to work side by side with humans, and don't require a fence! That frees up a lot of valuable floor space and cuts costs. It has highly sensitive contact sensing technology and soft outer skin, so you don't have to worry about bumping into me. It’s ISO 10218-1:2011 safety certification is proof that it can share a workspace.
Unlike other Collaborative Robots, CR-35iA is the first of its kind to handle heavy payloads. In fact, it was developed specifically to help manufacturers solve ergonomic challenges by handling applications that are physically demanding for humans, such as heavy lifting.
