FANUC Standalone Education Robots

Configure an Industrial FANUC Robot for Education, Research and Workforce Training

Build a robotics training or research system around your program’s specific goals with FANUC Standalone Education Robots. These configurations give schools, colleges, universities, and workforce-development organizations access to industrial FANUC robots without requiring a complete enclosed or fenceless CERT cart.

Available configurations support material handling, high-speed SCARA applications, collaborative robotics, systems integration, and university research. Controllers, education software, teach pendants, tooling, safeguarding, and electrical requirements vary by robot, allowing each system to be configured around its intended application and learning environment.

Select the robot, controller, software, tooling, mounting equipment, and safeguarding that align with your curriculum, research, and laboratory requirements.

FANUC CRX collaborative robot with controller and Tablet Teach Pendant

FANUC CRX Series

FANUC CRX collaborative robots provide an approachable platform for teaching lead-through operation, tablet-based programming, end-of-arm tooling, vision, material handling, machine tending, and advanced robotics development.

Model Payload Reach
CRX-3iA 3 kg / 6.6 lb 692 mm / 27.2 in
CRX-5iA 5 kg / 11 lb 994 mm / 39.1 in
CRX-10iA 10 kg / 22 lb 1,249 mm / 49.2 in
CRX-10iA/L 10 kg / 22 lb 1,418 mm / 55.8 in
CRX-20iA/L 20 kg / 44 lb 1,418 mm / 55.8 in
CRX-30iA 30/25 kg / 66/55 lb 1,756/1,889 mm / 69.1/74.4 in
  • Six-axis collaborative robot
  • HandlingTool software with Advanced CRX configuration
  • FANUC Tablet Teach Pendant
  • 100–120V or 200–240V operation, depending on configuration
  • Electronic documentation

Standalone CRX configurations do not necessarily include end-of-arm tooling. You can select collaborative grippers, vision, tooling, mounting equipment, and application accessories to meet program requirements.

The CRX-30iA provides 30 kg payload capacity with 1,756 mm reach. Its operating space expands to 1,889 mm in 25 kg payload mode.

Compare FANUC CRX collaborative robot models.

  • Industrial robot safety and operating procedures
  • Teach-pendant navigation and robot jogging
  • Coordinate systems, frames and position teaching
  • Robot program creation and testing
  • Material-handling and pick-and-place applications
  • End-of-arm tooling selection and operation
  • Robot communication and system integration
  • Automated workcell design and troubleshooting
  • Application-specific programming for SCARA, industrial, and collaborative robots

A standalone robot is not necessarily a complete classroom workcell. The final system may require additional components based on the robot, application, and training environment.

  • Robot base, stand or mounting structure
  • Safety enclosure, scanner or other safeguarding
  • Teach pendant and cable when not included
  • Compatible electrical service or transformer
  • End-of-arm tooling and application fixtures
  • Air supply for pneumatic tooling
  • Vision hardware and lighting
  • Computers and ROBOGUIDE licenses
  • Instructor training, curriculum and student eLearning
  • System integration and installation support

Standalone Robot or Complete CERT Cart?

A standalone robot may be appropriate for programs that already have safeguarding, workstations and integration capabilities or that need a custom research system. Complete CERT carts provide a more structured classroom solution with integrated mobility, tooling, safety systems and instructional resources.

Tech-Labs can help compare standalone robots, enclosed carts, fenceless systems and collaborative robot packages based on available space, electrical service, curriculum, instructor experience and desired applications.

Available robot models, controllers, software, tooling and electrical configurations are subject to change. Contact Tech-Labs to confirm the current FANUC education configuration before specifying equipment.
