The FANUC Fenceless CRX-5iA CERT Cart brings collaborative robot programming, operation, and application development into the classroom. Its mobile design combines an industrial FANUC CRX cobot with a tablet teach pendant, controller, collaborative gripper, and education resources in one compact training system.

Designed for high schools, technical schools, community colleges, universities, and workforce-development programs, the cart helps students develop practical robotics skills using the same FANUC platform found throughout modern manufacturing and automation.

Students gain hands-on experience programming an industrial collaborative robot through lead-through teaching and FANUC’s intuitive tablet interface.

Classroom-Ready Collaborative Robotics

Easy Programming

Students can program the CRX using FANUC’s tablet teach pendant, drag-and-drop commands, and lead-through teaching methods.

Collaborative Operation

The CRX-5iA is designed for collaborative applications and provides a practical platform for teaching human-robot interaction, application setup, and collaborative automation concepts.

Mobile Training

The compact cart can be repositioned throughout a robotics lab, classroom, demonstration space, or workforce-training facility.

Prepare Students for Collaborative Automation Careers

Collaborative robots are used in assembly, material handling, inspection, packaging, machine tending, and other flexible automation applications. The CRX-5iA CERT Cart allows students to explore these applications while developing foundational robot-programming and troubleshooting skills.

Students can learn how robot motion, tooling, programming, safety settings, and application components work together within a complete collaborative automation system.

  • Collaborative robot operation and startup procedures
  • FANUC tablet teach pendant navigation
  • Lead-through teaching and point creation
  • Drag-and-drop robot programming
  • Robot frames, positions, motion, and program flow
  • End-of-arm tooling and collaborative gripper operation
  • Material-handling and pick-and-place applications
  • Collaborative robot safety concepts and operating limits
  • Application testing, troubleshooting, and refinement
  • Offline programming and simulation with ROBOGUIDE
  • Six-axis FANUC CRX-5iA collaborative robot
  • 5 kg payload
  • 994 mm reach
  • FANUC R-30iB Mini Plus controller
  • HandlingTool software with Advanced DCS, motion, and Ethernet/IP capabilities
  • FANUC tablet teach pendant and holder
  • Collaborative actuated gripper with connector cable
  • Electronic documentation

The CRX-5iA CERT Cart is available with two cart configurations:

  • Standard cart: Aluminum structure with a steel worktable
  • Optional cart: Powder-coated steel construction
  • Large multidirectional locking casters
  • 48-inch-long by 28-inch-wide base footprint

Cart construction and included equipment should be confirmed when the system is quoted.

The system includes instructional manuals supporting robot operation, programming, and simulation:

  • FANUC Robot Operations manual
  • FANUC HandlingTool Operation and Programming manual
  • FANUC HandlingPRO and ROBOGUIDE Simulation manual

Instructor training, student curriculum, eLearning access, simulation licenses, and certification-program components may vary according to the selected FANUC CERT education package.

  • CRX-10iA upgrade: 10 kg payload and 1,249 mm reach
  • Powder-coated steel cart upgrade
  • FANUC iRVision and camera options
  • Additional end-of-arm tooling
  • Project-based learning packages
  • Application-specific software and peripheral devices

Vision, specialized tooling, software, and project packages are not necessarily included with the standard cart. Contact Tech-Labs to configure the system around your curriculum and training objectives.

  • Standard power: 110V
  • Available by request: 220V
  • Cart footprint: 48 inches long x 28 inches wide

Is the CRX-5iA CERT Cart the Right Choice?

The CRX-5iA cart is a strong choice for programs emphasizing collaborative robotics, lead-through teaching, tablet-based programming, and flexible automation. Its intuitive interface can make industrial robotics more approachable for students who are new to robot programming.

Programs focused on traditional industrial robot programming within a physical safety enclosure should consider the FANUC Enclosed ER-4iA CERT Cart . Programs that want to teach area scanners, DCS zones, and fenceless industrial robot integration should consider the FANUC Fenceless ER-4iA CERT Cart .

Collaborative operation does not eliminate the need for an application-specific risk assessment. The robot, tooling, workpieces, programmed motion, and surrounding environment must be evaluated when the system is configured and used.
