Présentation du Cobot FANUC CRX-10iA

Introduction to the New FANUC CRX Robot

Overview of the FANUC CRX Series

• The new FANUC CRX robot is part of the extensive range of collaborative robots (cobots) offered by FANUC, which spans payload capacities from 4 kg to 35 kg.

• The CRX series includes a model with a 10 kg payload and two arm versions: short and long. The long arm has a reach of 1400 mm, while the short arm reaches 1249 mm.

Key Features of the Robot

• Each axis of the robot is equipped with its own force sensors, enhancing precision and control during operations. The robot operates on six axes.

• A significant innovation in this model is its new programming interface, delivered via a Samsung tablet that simplifies user interaction for both novice and expert operators.

Programming Modes and User Interface

Dual Programming Modes

• The robot features two distinct programming modes: traditional mode resembling conventional robotic teaching methods, and an AI-driven mode that utilizes icon-based programming for ease of use.

• In AI mode, users can program using a graphical interface with drag-and-drop functionality, making it accessible even for those unfamiliar with robotics. This approach aims to demystify programming complexities associated with traditional robots.

Practical Demonstration

• Users can easily move the robot using controls on the tablet or through external devices like welding machines; this flexibility enhances operational efficiency.

• Programming involves simple steps such as selecting icons to create points in space where the robot should operate, allowing for quick learning and execution of tasks without complex setups.

Advanced Functionalities

Learning Capabilities

• The CRX can learn trajectories point-by-point or from predefined functional blocks tailored for specific applications like palletizing or welding, streamlining setup processes significantly.

• For palletization tasks, users only need to define basic parameters such as layers and columns; the system automatically generates functional templates ensuring reliability in execution.

Enhanced User Experience

• An intuitive pop-up interface guides operators through various functions during programming sessions; animations help clarify instructions further reducing potential confusion among users.

• Operators can visualize their programmed paths directly on their workpieces through trajectory generation features that enhance understanding and accuracy in task execution.
