FANUC AMERICA DEMONSTRATES AUTOMATED SOLUTIONS FOR WELDING AND PAINTING AT FABTECH

From collaborative robots that can weld safely alongside humans to the world’s first explosion-proof paint cobot, innovative and easy-to-use robotics demonstrated real-world applications in FANUC America booths.

Easy-to-use CRX cobots offer the same accuracy and repeatability as all FANUC robots, with the added benefit of simple programming, the ability to work safely and in close proximity to humans.

• Flexibility and Efficiency: Welding near human operators requires flexibility as well as efficiency, demonstrated by the CRX-10iA/L cobot—mounted on an integrated 7th robot transfer unit (RTU)—which simulates ARC welding at one station while an operator loads the second station.
• Drop Center Positioning: Showcasing the impressively long 1,889 mm reach of the new CRX-30iA/L cobot, an ARC welding demonstration of a skid steer cab on an integrated auxiliary axis showcased ease in handling large components.
• Easy Programming: An all-new FANUC programming interface with buttons on the wrist allows welders with little to no robotic experience to create programs easily, as evidenced by the CRX-10iA/L cobot—with a 10 kg payload and 1,418 mm reach—in a live welding demonstration.
• Rigid Precision: Making its FABTECH debut, the M-950iA/500 heavyweight robot features a wider range of motion, offering an impressive 500 kg payload capacity and 2,830 mm reach, showcased in a new friction stir welding demonstration featuring a StirRob Friction Stir Welding Head by FPT Industrie.
• High-Speed Laser Cutting: The new M-800/60-20B, FANUC’s next-gen, high-accuracy industrial robot, showcased high-speed laser cutting, connected to a TRUMPF TRUFiber 4001 P and LaserMech FiberCUT STa. Cut holes are generated with Shape Gen software for easy single point teaching.

• The New Paint Cobot, Now Available: As the first explosion-proof collaborative paint robot available globally, the CRX-10iA/L Paint unlocks the benefits of flexible automation for more companies, including high-mix, low volume operations. Be sure to see it in action at the show!
• Cobot Inspection for Paint: To help ensure a perfect finish every time, the CRX-10iA/L demonstrated its ability to perform detailed colour-matching inspection tasks even in the smallest of spaces.
• Visual Tracking for Boosting Production: A FANUC P-40iA paint robot using iRVision 3DV and the new Visual Tracking for PaintTool software to quickly and reliably track and paint randomly oriented parts. Working in tandem, a CRX-20iA using iRPickTOOL and iRVision software will load/unload guitars.
• Versatile Paint Automation: Highlighted how FANUC paint robots are perfect for automating the painting of smaller and more challenging parts, the P-40iA paint robot will use coordinated motion with a turntable to precisely paint plastic automotive pieces.
