FANUC CRX-10iA Cobot Interactive Programming
A CRX-10iA demonstration will give attendees the chance to try the cobot’s intuitive hand guidance and easy-to-use Tablet TP programming. The hands-on demonstration will use the CRX to pick and place stress balls located on a hopper.
FANUC has expanded the payload capacities of its CRX and CR cobot lines to handle products from 4 to 50 kg. FANUC now has 11 cobot model variations that can work in a variety of industrial applications including assembly, inspection, material handling, packaging, palletizing, sanding, welding, and more.
FANUC CNC Retrofit with the CRX-10iA Cobot
The CNC Retrofit with the FANUC CRX 10iA demonstrates the benefits of retrofitting legacy machine tools with new FANUC CNCs, servo motors and drives as well as the ability to seamlessly integrate a cobot for machine tending. FANUC’s 0i-MF Plus CNC will run a milling part program via simulation of the actual cutting movements on its display while the cobot automatically swaps out workpieces. The demo highlights how CNC retrofitting and robot automation can boost machine tools’ overall productivity while ensuring maximum uptime, reliability and efficiency.
Desktop Milling Machines & Lathes
For educational institutions that want to give their students the actual experience of cutting materials, FANUC powers several different desktop machines. These machines are perfect for students who want to gain the hands-on learning experience of not only operating CNCs, but also making parts.
The newest of these is the Bantam Tools Desktop Milling Machine - equipped with the FANUC 0i-F Plus CNC controlling FANUC servo motors and drives - perfect for any educational or workplace training setting.
