CR-35iB Fanuc’s CR-35iB collaborative robot features a 77-pound payload and a 5.9-foot reach, and can save space by being mounted on a wall or upside down. The CR-35iB incorporates Fanuc’s latest safety technologies, including Fanuc iRVision and Force sensors.
What’s new? The CR-35iB, which Fanuc previewed in June at Automate 2022 in Detroit. The new cobot is more streamlined and lighter.
Benefits The CR-35iB offers the heaviest payload among Fanuc’s CR and CRX cobot lineup, which range from 8.8 pounds to 77 pounds. The heavy-lifting cobot can work alongside operators, which helps minimize the risk of repetitive strain and other work-related injuries, and reduces costs typically associated with lift-assist devices. The robot is appropriate for a variety of applications, including vision-guided picking or inspection, material handling, part transfer, machine tending, packing and palletizing. It can be equipped with intelligent functions.
