High-Payload Cobots, and Cobot-Kitting and -Adhesive Applications

At Automate 2025, Fanuc America showcased a number of industrial-robot and cobot innovations. Included were cobots boasting payload capacities to 50 Kg and reaches to 1889 mm. And, mounted on an autonomous mobile robot, Fanuc’s CRX-10iA/L cobot demonstrated automotive kitting as it used the company’s iRVision 3DV vision sensor to accurately pick individual components of a vehicle sideview mirror and deliver the kit to a human operator for assembly and installation onto a door, easing the labor process and eliminating the need for manually delivering parts or kits to the assembly line. 

Another interesting cobot application: Fanuc’s Integral Servo Dispenser software was paired with adhesive-metering equipment to deliver a mobile dispensing system that reportedly delivered precise application, better control, better repeatability and intuitive programming. Specifically, a CRX-30iA cobot combined with a 3DV/400 vision camera and SpotTool+ software in a compact and flexible footprint.

Fanuc also demonstrated, in a two-station cell, the flexibility and increased productivity provided with its CRX-10iA/L cobot integrated with a seventh-axis rail. Featuring a single-axis positioner on one side and a flexible fabricating table on the other, an operator can load one cell easily while welding occurs at the other due to an increased work envelope.
