Collaborative Robots Boasting Payloads Up to 50 KG
Featuring FANUC CRX and CR cobots
FANUC's full line of collaborative robots—or cobots—will be on display, featuring industry-leading payloads of up to 50 KG and impressive maximum reach at 1,889 mm. Within the diverse cobot selection, FANUC will showcase its CRX-10 i A/L Paint Cobot specifically designed for use in painting, coating and dispensing.
Autonomous Mobile Robot Automotive Kitting
Featuring FANUC CRX-10iA/L Cobot
Mounted on a third-party autonomous mobile robot, FANUC's CRX-10 i A/L Cobot will demonstrate automotive kitting as it uses FANUC's i RVision 3DV vision sensor to accurately pick individual components of a vehicle side-view mirror and deliver the kit to a human operator for assembly and installation onto a door, easing the labor process and eliminating the need for manually delivering parts or kits to the assembly line.
Dual Cobot Paint Application with Load and Unload
Featuring FANUC CRX-10iA/L Paint Cobot and CRX-20iA/L Cobot
In this demonstration, FANUC will use two cobots, visual identification and advanced line tracking to identify, load, paint and unload electric guitar bodies. Using a CRX-10 i A/L Paint Cobot with FANUC 3DV camera and i RVision, the system will visually track and simulate painting of the guitar bodies. Meanwhile, a CRX-20 i A/L Cobot will leverage a fixed FANUC 3DV i RVision sensor and i RPickTool software in showcasing its impressive reach and line tracking capability to load and unload guitar bodies from a conveyor to a rack.
Collaborative Mobile Dispense Cart
FANUC's Integral Servo Dispenser Software is paired with revolutionary adhesive metering equipment to deliver a mobile dispensing system featuring more precise application, better control, better repeatability, and intuitive programming. In this demonstration, a FANUC CRX-30 i A cobot features end-of-arm adhesive metering, FANUC 3DV/400 vision camera and SpotTool+ software to offer a reliable, repeatable, and easily programmable dispense solution in a compact and flexible footprint.
Collaborative Arc Welding with Integrated 7 th Axis Rail
In a two-station cell, FANUC will demonstrate the flexibility and increased productivity allowed when its CRX-10 i A/L Cobot is integrated with a 7 th axis rail. Featuring a single-axis positioner on one side and a flexible fabricating table on the other, an operator can easily load one cell while welding occurs at the other thanks to an increased work envelope.
Flexible Robotic Wet Machining
Featuring FANUC M800/60-20B industrial robot
In this wet machining demonstration, FANUC's high-precision M800/60-20B industrial robot will mill and drill aluminum stock using a variety of tools and accommodating various mounting positions. Built to withstand harsh elements like water and debris, this 6-axis model, known for its rigidity and accuracy, offers a larger work envelope compared to similarly priced CNC machines. Additionally, its adaptability makes it suitable for repurposing across various applications.
R-50iA Controller Technologies Display
This unique demonstration highlights the advanced capabilities of FANUC's new R-50iA controller, featuring two FANUC LR Mate industrial robots performing bin picking and palletizing. The compact LR Mate/7-7D robot with FANUC's 3DV/400 vision camera bin picks jumbled boxes from a container onto a conveyor. This robot is running python code natively on its paired FANUC controller. The second robot, LR Mate/7-9 long arm unit with a 3DV/400 camera and PalletTool Turbo II software—identifies the size of the box on the conveyor and palletizes it onto the appropriate pallet. This controller showcases new cybersecurity protocols including MQTT TLS, the use of a LDAPS server for user access control along with Software PLC capability for cell control and HMI functionality. Additionally, our new Teach Pendant with lighter weight and enhanced performance is featured.
