With the accelerated integration of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, robotics, and the Internet of Things with industrial application scenarios, a new round of industrial revolution is emerging. Some time ago, ChatGPT chatbot exploded the AI craze, giving ordinary people the opportunity to penetrate the boundaries of general cognition, open a new mode of thinking, and also triggered people’s infinite reveries on human-computer interaction modes. Earlier, based on the three core requirements of “safety”, “reliability” and “ease of use” in industrial application scenarios, Fanuc launched the CRX series of “industrial” collaborative robots, which took man-machine collaboration to a new height.
Intelligence makes collaborative robots more powerful
Under the dual pressure of global labor shortage and manufacturing transformation and upgrading, industrial enterprises have adopted automated production, using advanced equipment and cutting-edge technologies to improve production efficiency and flexible production capacity. In this scenario, collaborative robots become the ideal choice in many application scenarios: on the one hand, because of its flexibility, safety, stability and cost advantages compared with traditional robots; On the other hand, in recent years, the application of AI technology has shown a blowout growth trend, and the demand for technical traction and superposition has promoted collaborative robots.
Collaborative robots that integrate intelligent technologies such as intelligent sensors, visual recognition, and voice recognition have greatly improved their perception and understanding of the surrounding environment, and can complete different task requirements in different work scenarios. At the same time, the emergence of cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning and deep learning has laid the foundation for the realization of autonomous learning and autonomous decision-making functions of collaborative robots, thus bringing more possibilities to intelligent production.
At present, the CRX series of “industrial” collaborative robots has formed a complete product sequence, including 2 series of 6 categories of products – CRX-5IA, CRX-10IA, CRX-10IA /L, CRX-20IA /L, CRX-25IA and SMR mobile composite robots. This series of “industrial” cooperative robot has four characteristics of stability, accuracy, ease and saving, the maximum load ranges from 5kg to 25kg, the radius can reach from 994mm to 1889mm, the repeated positioning accuracy is 0.03mm to 0.05mm, and the maximum motion speed is 1000mm/s in cooperative mode. In high-speed mode, the maximum motion speed can reach 2000mm/s.
Redefining the industrial “human-computer interaction” model
As an emerging robot category in the wave of intelligent manufacturing, collaborative robots can cooperate with field workers to complete various tasks, and are widely used in packaging & palletizing, assembly, welding, screw locking, drilling, testing, machine loading and unloading, handling, polishing and deburring, intelligent logistics and other scenarios. The CRX series “Industrial” cobots enable multi-functional cobot applications by quickly installing and switching different process packages according to different production needs. Especially suitable for automotive assembly, parts manufacturing, 3C and other industries, to meet users’ high standard requirements for space, safety and flexibility.
In industrial production processes, the value of collaborative robots is not only to perform repetitive, low value-added processes, but also to interact with field workers in real time to achieve efficient collaborative work. When humans and machines share a workspace, human safety is undoubtedly a top priority. The CRX series “Industrial” co-bots are intelligence-aware and TUV certified for institutional safety. In the process of collaborative work, the built-in sensor and vision system to achieve accurate positioning and identification of the surrounding environment, once the robot body and human or other objects are perceived slight contact, it will immediately stop the movement, effectively prevent the occurrence of injury. As an important man-machine cooperation method for future industry, the motion control system of CRX series “industrial” cooperative robot adopts characteristic servo motor + reducer, and the whole system model is equipped with IP67 protection level, ensuring stable performance in harsh industrial environment, bringing more possibilities and new value to all walks of life.
The scalable, mobile, more flexible, more flexible features of collaborative robots can help users cope with changing production methods, make business operations more resilient and sustainable, and are becoming a new choice for more and more manufacturers and integrators. With rich experience in factory automation and robot development, Fanuc has dug deep into the potential of humans and the capabilities of robots, and deeply integrated the two. We are committed to providing customers with intelligent, flexible and high-load collaborative robot products and solutions, providing a strong impetus for the transformation of industrial production mode and redefining the new future of industry.
