36 smart_molding international 2/2020 robots Speed depending on mode In order to make the robot as flex - ible as possible, it can work in coop - erative mode with a maximum speed of 1000 millimetres per second as well as in stand-alone mode with speeds of up to 2000 millimetres per second. A mode change is useful at night or on weekends, for example, when the ro - bot can carry out tasks alone without human workers around. A traffic light system on the robot indicates the ac - tive mode. Additional safety sensors can be used to slow down the speed to the permitted speed if a person comes within range. The CRX-10iA's ease of use starts with installation. The robot, which weighs only 40 kilograms, and the 20 kilogram The new generation of collaborative lightweight robots from FANUC has arrived. After presenting the first prototypes of the CRX-10iA at IREX in Tokyo in December 2019, the company is now bringing the first production units to Europe. From August 2020, the slim white robot with a payload of 10 kilograms installed in FANUC showrooms throughout Europe. Delivery to the first customers will begin soon after. The key features of the CRX-10iA are its safety, ease of use and extremely high reliability. The FANUC developers have paid particular attention to the safety of the lightweight robot. The CRX-10iA stops moving with only very light contact with humans. If it hits a hard object, the robot automatically backs away from it. Operators can also manually push three axes of the robot away. The smooth and elegant design also provides protection from pinching, making it an ideal partner for production workers. The CRX-10iA is certified according to ISO 10218-1 safety standard. Ideal partner in production Collaborative robot CRX-10iA
