FANUC CR-35iA Alternatives & Competitors

The AUBO-i10 is a lightweight collaborative robot designed for human-centric agile manufacturing. With a 10 kg payload and 1350 mm reach, it provides flexibility and ease of integration into various industrial environments. Its six axes allow for a wide range of motion, making it suitable for tasks such as machine tending, assembly, and packaging. The robot's compact design and user-friendly features facilitate quick deployment and adaptation without extensive programming knowledge.

A key feature of the AUBO-i10 is its collaborative functionality, allowing it to operate safely alongside human workers without the need for additional safety equipment, provided a risk assessment is completed. Its hand-guiding teaching method and integrated teach pendant simplify programming and operational adjustments. Safety is reinforced through power and force limiting functions that automatically stop the robot if a collision is detected, and real-time feedback is provided by embedded sensors.

The robot supports open-source architecture, including ROS (Robot Operating System) compatibility, and features a CAN bus network for inter-joint communication. This openness, combined with its low cost of ownership and high positional repeatability, makes the AUBO-i10 an appealing choice for both industrial automation and academic research. Its versatility and ease of reconfiguration contribute to its efficiency in high-mix, low-volume applications.

CR-35iB: The world’s strongest cobot

The CR-35iB is not only a FANUC but the world’s strongest collaborative robot with a lifting capacity of up to 35 kg. The load capacity combined with its extensive reach and safety certification makes it ideally suited to a wide range processes involving heavy lifting and positioning that was traditionally carried out by humans.


Superior reach as well as payload
The CR-35iB can handle objects up to 35 kg, making it ideal for processes that expose workers to the risk of repetitive strain and other work-related injuries. Its versatility is enhanced by an extensive reach (1831mm), making it suitable for a large variety of applications.


Large hollow wrist
To prevent the risk of snagging and cable wear, all cables can be routed through the robot’s large 57 mm diameter hollow wrist and hollow arm. An additional mounting facility on the J3 arm enables close mounting of end effector control equipment.


Human safe, no fences needed
Due to its collaborative nature, CR-35iB works in cooperation or alongside humans in a shared work environment. The whole CR series is equipped with ultra-safe FANUC contact stop protection based on proven sensor technology, so humans safety is assured while fences are no longer needed


Protection class IP67
The extra smooth surfaces of the CR series helps to minimise dust and dirt build up. Thanks to IP67 protection on its arm and wrist axis, it is well suited for dirty environments.


Objects recognition
As with all FANUC robots, the CR series can be equipped with a FANUC 2D and 3D Vision Systems which can enable the robot to locate and position parts and workpieces.


Proven reliability
The CR-35iB maybe green to indicate its collaborative nature but as with any Yellow FANUC robot ensures the same high reliability and uptime due to well proven technology and ease of repair.
