Taking Care of the Heavy Stuff – The Fanuc CR-35iA

Human work­ers have been work­ing with robots for years, but there is usu­al­ly a bar­ri­er between them when the robot is per­form­ing its appli­ca­tions. Fanuc decid­ed to give work­ers a chance to improve their team­work with the robots, intro­duc­ing the Fanuc CR-35iA, one of the first col­lab­o­ra­tive indus­tri­al robots on the market.

A col­lab­o­ra­tive robot is a robot that is equipped with sen­sors that allows it to stop when it comes into the vicin­i­ty of a human work­er, pro­tect­ing the work­er from harm, and cut­ting down on the need of safe­ty fenc­ing and oth­er bar­ri­ers. While Fanuc is only one of the com­pa­nies delv­ing into this new col­lab­o­ra­tive robot­ic tech­nol­o­gy, they have pro­duced the first heavy lift­ing col­lab­o­ra­tive robot. The CR35iA has the abil­i­ty to lift up to 35kg, mak­ing it the strongest col­lab­o­ra­tive robot in the industry.

The Fanuc CR-35iA can col­lab­o­rate with work­ers on a vari­ety of repet­i­tive appli­ca­tions for a wide range of indus­tries, includ­ing the auto­mo­tive, pack­ag­ing, dis­tri­b­u­tion, and met­al­work­ing indus­tries, accord­ing to Fanuc. The robot is also equipped with Fanuc vision sen­sors and 3D area sen­sors to make it more accu­rate and effec­tive dur­ing operation.

As men­tioned above, one of the great­est things about the CR-35iA is the abil­i­ty for it to work hand in hand with human work­ers, with­out need­ing fenc­ing. Not only is the robot out­fit­ted with sen­sors to stop oper­a­tion, they also have a soft cov­er over their met­al shell. This means that even if a robot comes in con­tact with a human, the impact force will be reduced, pro­tect­ing the human work­er from seri­ous injury.

Just like oth­er robots in the Fanuc robot line, this robot also has a high lev­el of reli­a­bil­i­ty and dura­bil­i­ty, giv­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers the same qual­i­ty they expect from the Fanuc name.
