For a more robotic-centric option, FANUC’s Robot ON-SITE enables the robot to control the functionality and actions through robotic programming with the ability to “talk” to the CNC G‑code program. This feature enables machine tools, even legacy machines, to be easily connected to robots using just one Ethernet cable.
The FANUC ROS 2 driver is a software interface that connects FANUC CRX Collaborative Robots to the ROS 2 ecosystem. It empowers users to leverage open-source tools for advanced automation, research, and industrial deployment. The driver supports high-frequency control, MoveIt integration, and simulation capabilities, enabling flexible deployment across research and production environments.
ROS, or Robot Operating System, which is a tool for application development commonly found in academia, has been gaining wider acceptance in the industrial space. Accordingly, FANUC offers this option to integrate the into this development ecosystem.
ROS is simply an SDK for building robot applications. The ROS ecosystem is a collection of code that can monitor and control many different types of devices. In addition to robots of both the industrial and mobile variety, devices that can integrate into ROS include cameras, laser sensors, and hardware components such as conveyors or custom machines. Simulation, visualization, AI, and motion planning software modules are also able to be utilized in a ROS application.
The implementation of the ROS driver on the FANUC robot consists of three different software options. The first, Remote Motion, also known as RMI, is used for the external motion control. The HMI Device option is also required. This option uses Modbus TCP to communicate status and other I/O between the robot and the ROS driver. Finally, there is the FANUC ROS 2 Interface. This option serves as the license component and allows the ROS 2 driver to connect to the robot.
The FANUC ROS 2 client software is available for free download from the FANUC GitHub. The driver consists of a binary version of the action server/hardware interface. Robot description files and MoveIt2 configuration files are also included for all supported robot models. For convienence, the FANUC “External Control Package” software option includes the necessary robot software.
When SCEP Client (S610) is installed, it is possible to create an internal server certificate signed by CA by inquiring through a SCEP server. The internal server certificate can then be used in encrypted communications, such as HTTPS server. It is also possible to extend the expiry dates of X.509 certificates, delete revoked X.509 certificates by checking Certificate Revocation List (CRL), and renew the internal server certificate, through the SCEP server.
Easily display your shop floor CNC screens on a PC through the Screen Display Function. This simple and efficient remote maintenance tool connects the CNC to the PC running the SDF application via Ethernet or HSSB. Plus, updates to SDF are not required if new functions are added to the CNC. The SDF is perfect for CNC maintenance and setup on Open CNC systems. This function is a basic function in FANUC Series 30i-B Plus.
Allows the robot to leverage the HTTPS client to send encrypted messages to the ZDT Data Collector.

This free software lets you easily select the right motors and amplifiers for your application. With FANUC’s catalog of 1600-some (and growing) motor models at your fingertips, by just entering your required axis specs and operating conditions, Servo Sizer will highlight the optimal motor and amplifier combo to best suit your needs. Servo Sizer supports traditional ball screw configurations as well as rack and pinion, rotary, conveyor belt, chain and sprocket, live tool and servo press applications. The entire FANUC motor range (framed servo and spindle motors, linear motors, and unframed direct-drive torque and spindle motors) is available in both 200- and 400-volt models and software updates are released monthly.
Servo Torch is a fully-integrated, servo-controlled, wrist-mounted, four-roll (4) “Pull” wire feeder controlled by the ARC Mate® series robots. The design is optimized to feed aluminum and soft wire. Integration of the wire feed motor with the motion control of the robot results in a close coupling of the welding process.

Collect, analyze and communicate optimized digital twin manufacturing workflow information and processes with FANUC’s Smart Digital Twin Manager software solution, you can easily keep track of all your digital twin manufacturing workflow changes and processes. Feed files in from your software, then perform side-by-side data analysis such as varying part programs, settings and functions. The Smart Digital Twin Manager offers a comprehensive way to improve machining processes via digital data management.
Socket Messaging enables KAREL applications on the robot controller to communicate with external devices using TCP/IP socket connections. This gives application developers a flexible way to exchange data with PCs, servers, HMIs, or custom systems using application-specific protocols. The function supports client and server style communication through host communication tags, making it suitable for custom integration tasks where standard file transfer or browser access is not enough.
The robot adapts its motion based on contact forces or variation. This improves fit-up accuracy and reduces fixture precision requirements.
Spline Motion defines a path that smoothly passes through taught points. This feature allows the robot to maintain smooth speed and motion through complex curves which are programmed easily using traditional TP motion points. It is especially beneficial in applications such as trimming, dispensing, welding, and finishing where path smoothness and motion quality directly impact process results.
SpotTool+ provides a standardized software platform for high-volume body shop applications including welding, dispensing, and material handling. It supports consistent programming practices while integrating with common motion, safety, and process options.
Stream Motion allows external devices to send real-time trajectory data directly to the robot controller for execution. This enables motion control for paths generated dynamically by external CPUs and software, rather than predefined in TP programs. It is particularly useful for applications where traditional automation — with fixed, repeatable paths — is not suitable, such as real-time 3D vision-guided processes, adaptive machining, and advanced or research environments requiring flexible, externally driven motion.
Ensure the best surface quality before actual machining using digital twin manufacturing software FANUC’s Surface Estimation Tool replicates real-world surface finish results in digital simulations to accurately check not only the part shape, but also machining quality level. Prior to any real-world cutting, the software precisely estimates a part’s machined surface by using the position data of each axis then simulating the cutting to detect machining issues. Knowing this before cutting helps avoid wasting valuable time and materials that otherwise might be produced with marks or other surface defects.
