Overview
The CR-35iA represents the apex of collaborative automation, delivering 35 kg payload with certified force-limiting safety for shared-cell operation. Its industrial-grade capability with collaborative safety makes it the platform of choice for heavy manufacturing requiring human interaction.
Technical Specifications
Reach 1700 mm, payload 35 kg, repeatability ±0.05 mm, cycle time 3.0–3.8 seconds. Operating envelope 3400 mm, arm mass 195 kg. Full ISO/TS 15066 force-limiting certified.
Applications
Automotive sub-frame assembly, heavy welding tool positioning, large component palletizing, stamping press tending, and integrated material transfer in collaborative manufacturing.
Integration & Programming
Advanced force feedback, iRVision, and full FANUC industrial ecosystem integration. Collaborative safety coexists seamlessly with industrial performance.
Market Position
For manufacturers consolidating industrial and collaborative automation into a single flexible platform, the CR-35iA is the definitive solution.
FAQ
Can the CR-35iA handle full sub-frame assembly including welding?
With multi-gun mounting and tool weight under 35 kg total, yes—it excels at sub-frame positioning, tack welding, and heavy component handling.
What is the performance cost of force limiting at maximum payload?
Approximately 20–25% cycle time increase with active force limiting; detection-only modes yield faster cycles but require safety enclosures.
Does the CR-35iA require special power infrastructure?
Typical operation requires 12–18 kW, suitable for standard industrial three-phase 50 A service, simpler than non-collaborative heavy arms.
Can I retrofit the CR-35iA into an existing automotive assembly line?
Yes, mounting interfaces and controller compatibility match FANUC industrial platforms, enabling mixed legacy/collaborative fleet deployments.
What is the warranty and support model?
Standard FANUC industrial warranty (2 years parts/labor) plus optional collaborative robot-specific service contracts and safety training programs.
