FANUC launches
world’s first heavy
lifting collaborative
robot
P
reviously the
collaborative
robot has only
been seen in
works of science fiction.
However, today marks the
launch of the world’s first
heavy lifting industrial
collaborative robot, the
FANUC CR-35iA, working
hand-in-hand with human
employees.
FANUC’s collaborative robot
ensures safety through the
use of intelligent sensors,
which automatically stops
the robot if it touches
a human operator. This
removes the need for
safety fences, a previous
requirement for all
industrial robots, increasing
production efficiencies and
enabling a higher level of
automation.
Servicing a variety of
manufacturing industries,
the CR-35iA can perform
both simple and complex
tasks lifting payloads of up
to 35 kg. The collaborative
robot is also available with
patented iRVision technology.

Chris Sumner, vice president
of FANUC Europe and
managing director, FANUC
UK said: “Collaborative
robot technology opens up
a new era for manufacturing
in which humans and
robots will work even more
closely on tasks; increasing
productivity and efficiencies
across the plant floor.”
