FANUC America Launches Ready-to-Deploy Cobot Solutions to Simplify Manufacturing!

FANUC America is transforming manufacturing efficiency with the launch of its new web tool, Cobot and Go. This easy-to-use platform allows businesses of all sizes to quickly search for pre-engineered, reliable, and efficient collaborative robot (cobot) solutions. The tool is designed to simplify the process of finding the right FANUC CRX line cobot systems, making it easier for companies to integrate automation into their operations, regardless of their size.

Cobots, or collaborative robots, have long been regarded as the gateway to automation. Their ability to work safely alongside humans, ease of programming, and affordability compared to traditional industrial robots make them an ideal solution for addressing many modern manufacturing challenges. These systems are especially beneficial in high-mix, low-volume environments where flexibility and ease of integration are crucial.

The Cobot and Go platform provides a user-friendly interface where users can search for solutions by application, robot model, or Authorized System Integrator. With FANUC’s extensive CRX cobot line, businesses can find pre-engineered solutions for various applications, including palletizing, machine tending, welding, and inspection. These systems are designed to be easy to implement, helping customers achieve a quicker return on investment.

FANUC’s Jerry Perez, Manager at FANUC America, highlights the value of these pre-engineered solutions, stating, “Today’s pre-engineered solutions offer ‘off the shelf’ standardization that has the potential to significantly accelerate customer ROI.” The simplicity of integration, combined with the reliability and customer service that comes with every FANUC product, ensures that businesses can quickly benefit from the automation capabilities of these cobots.

The CRX cobot series, which is at the heart of this offering, comes with several key advantages. These robots feature eight years of service-free maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability. The CRX models offer a payload capacity of up to 30 kg and a reach of up to 1889 mm, making them versatile enough to serve various industries and applications. The line includes models designed specifically for specialized tasks such as painting or food-grade applications, ensuring that even unique industry requirements are met.

In addition to these ready-to-deploy solutions, FANUC America provides valuable educational resources for businesses new to automation. The CRX e-Learning site offers basic training modules, while the new Tech Transfer portal, a free resource created by FANUC engineers, provides more in-depth technical tutorials. These resources ensure that businesses can not only implement cobot systems quickly but also effectively train their teams to maximize the benefits of automation.

With the launch of Cobot and Go, FANUC America is making it easier than ever for manufacturers to embrace automation and improve productivity. By offering flexible, quick-to-deploy solutions and providing extensive support through training and customer service, FANUC continues to lead the way in advancing automation across industries.
