Bring industrial collaborative robotics into your classroom, training center, university, or research lab with the FANUC CRX Series. CRX collaborative robots combine intuitive programming, flexible deployment, and FANUC reliability in a platform designed for education, research, and modern automation applications.
Students can begin with lead-through teaching and the Tablet Teach Pendant, then progress to robot programming, vision, end-of-arm tooling, automation integration, simulation, and advanced ROS 2 and Python application development.
FANUC automation systems are widely used throughout modern manufacturing. Training with FANUC robots helps students build practical experience with industrial hardware, software, programming methods, safety concepts, and automation workflows they may encounter in the workplace.
CRX also provides an accessible path from introductory collaborative robot operation to advanced work in mechatronics, engineering technology, computer science, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics.
The CRX family includes compact robots for light handling and laboratory projects as well as extended-reach and higher-payload models for demanding automation applications.
| Model | Maximum Payload | Maximum Reach | Potential Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRX-3iA | 3 kg / 6.6 lb | 756 mm / 29.8 in | Compact research projects, electronics assembly, inspection, picking, and introductory robotics. |
| CRX-5iA | 5 kg / 11 lb | 994 mm / 39.1 in | Education, light assembly, inspection, material handling, and vision-guided applications. |
| CRX-10iA | 10 kg / 22 lb | 1,249 mm / 49.2 in | General robotics instruction, machine tending, assembly, inspection, and material handling. |
| CRX-10iA/L | 10 kg / 22 lb | 1,418 mm / 55.8 in | Extended-reach education, machine tending, material handling, welding, and research applications. |
| CRX-20iA/L | 20 kg / 44 lb | 1,418 mm / 55.8 in | Heavier material handling, machine tending, assembly, palletizing, and advanced automation training. |
| CRX/20-14A | 20 kg / 44 lb | 1,418 mm / 55.8 in | High-performance handling, machine tending, assembly, and industrial research. |
| CRX-30iA | 30 kg / 66 lb | 1,756 mm / 69.1 in | High-payload material handling, palletizing, machine tending, and large-work-envelope applications. |
| CRX/30-18A | 30 kg / 66 lb | 1,889 mm / 74.4 in | Extended-reach palletizing, material handling, machine tending, and advanced automation applications. |
Available models, controllers, software options, power requirements, and education-package configurations may vary. Contact Tech-Labs to identify the appropriate system for your program.
Sensitive contact detection and collaborative safety functions help support properly designed and risk-assessed applications where robots operate near people.
FANUC’s industrial engineering, reliability, and support provide a platform students can continue using as their skills advance.
Compact construction and multiple mounting options help instructors integrate CRX robots into classrooms, mobile training stations, manufacturing labs, and university research environments.
Controller, electrical, mounting, and safety requirements depend on the selected CRX model and application.
Users can teach robot positions through lead-through operation and develop applications with FANUC’s Tablet Teach Pendant and intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
Available capabilities include FANUC iRVision, compatible end-of-arm tooling, simulation, external software integration, and advanced robot control.
FANUC’s ROS 2 driver expands the CRX platform for university research, computer science, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, and advanced engineering programs. Students and researchers can develop external applications that communicate with and control supported physical or simulated FANUC CRX robots.
Physical ROS 2 control requires compatible FANUC controller software, external-control options, a supported computer and operating system, and appropriate network and safety configuration. Python applications generally run on the external ROS 2 computer rather than directly on the robot controller.
Tech-Labs can help schools, colleges, universities, and workforce programs select a CRX robot, education package, software configuration, curriculum, and instructor-training plan.
Models: CRX-3iA, CRX-5iA, CRX-10iA, CRX-10iA/L, CRX-20iA/L, CRX/20-14A, CRX-30iA, and CRX/30-18A.
