FANUC CRX Collaborative Robotics Education Package

A classroom-ready platform for collaborative robot operation, programming, vision and automation
FANUC CRX educational package

Prepare students for modern automation with a FANUC CRX Collaborative Robotics Education Package. Built around FANUC’s industrial CRX collaborative robot platform, this configurable training solution helps students develop practical skills in robot operation, programming, safety, material handling, vision, and automation integration.

Intuitive lead-through teaching and FANUC’s Tablet Teach Pendant make the CRX accessible to new learners while providing the industrial capabilities needed for advanced robotics, mechatronics, engineering, and workforce training.

Collaborative Robotics for Education

Accessible Programming

Students can manually guide the robot to desired positions and create programs using FANUC’s touchscreen interface and drag-and-drop programming tools.

Industrial Technology

Learners gain experience with a FANUC platform used throughout modern manufacturing, helping connect classroom instruction with industrial robotics applications.

Expandable Platform

Programs can expand into vision, end-of-arm tooling, simulation, machine tending, material handling, smart manufacturing, and advanced software integration.

Build Foundational Collaborative Robot Skills

  • Collaborative robot setup and operation
  • Manual guided teaching and jogging
  • Payload and tool-center-point configuration
  • Robot frames, positions, and motion
  • Program creation, editing, and execution
  • Digital input and output concepts
  • Collaborative safety principles
  • Application planning and risk assessment
  • End-of-arm tooling integration
  • Vision-guided robot applications
  • Troubleshooting and system recovery
  • Industrial automation workflows

Students learn on an approachable collaborative robot while developing practical skills that transfer to industrial FANUC automation environments.

Optional Training Capabilities

Vision and Inspection

Optional FANUC iRVision capabilities can introduce students to camera setup, calibration, part location, inspection, and vision-guided picking.

  • 2D machine vision
  • 3D vision applications
  • Part detection and localization
  • Vision-guided material handling
  • Quality inspection concepts

Tooling and Applications

Compatible end-of-arm tooling and application equipment can support a range of classroom exercises and applied automation projects.

  • Electric and pneumatic grippers
  • Pick-and-place applications
  • Assembly and packaging
  • Machine tending
  • Material handling and sorting

ROBOGUIDE Simulation

FANUC ROBOGUIDE simulation software can extend hands-on learning beyond available robot time. Students can develop workcells, create robot programs, evaluate motion, and test applications in a virtual FANUC environment.

  • Build and arrange virtual robotic workcells.
  • Create and test robot programs away from the physical system.
  • Study robot reach, motion, tooling, and application layout.
  • Prepare programs for compatible FANUC robot systems.
  • Give more students access to robot-programming activities.

Instructor and Student Support

Successful robotics programs require more than equipment. Instructor training, learning resources, implementation planning, and ongoing support help faculty integrate the system into existing robotics, mechatronics, engineering, or advanced-manufacturing courses.

FANUC also provides free CRX e-learning resources covering robot setup, initial configuration, manual operation, programming, iRVision, and force control. Availability of advanced functions depends on the configured robot system and software options.

Designed for Technical Education

High School CTE

Introduce collaborative robotics, automation, safety, programming, and advanced manufacturing through structured hands-on activities.

Technical and Community Colleges
