FAQ
What is the cost difference between the CR-14iA and industrial 14 kg arms?
The CR-14iA typically costs 40–50% more due to force-limiting systems and safety certification, but eliminates dedicated safety infrastructure.
Can force limiting be tuned for different applications?
Yes, force thresholds and response profiles are configurable per task, enabling both delicate assembly and robust material handling in one robot.
Is the CR-14iA suitable for welding tool positioning?
Yes, with proper tool mounting and gun weight considerations (must be ≤14 kg total), it can position light welding guns in collaborative cells.
What is the thermal management for sustained 14 kg loading?
Integrated thermal management and servo cooling support sustained operation up to 60% duty cycle; higher duty requires active cooling or reduced load.
How does the CR-14iA integrate with safety systems and area scanning?
Compatible with FANUC's optional safety scanners and light curtains, enabling layered collaborative safety per ANSI/RIA guidelines.
