FAQ
How does the CR-7iA differ from the CRX-10iA/L?
Both offer similar payload and reach; CR-7iA focuses on collaborative certification and simplified programming, while CRX-10iA/L offers more industrial integration options.
Can the CR-7iA perform precision assembly tasks like component insertion?
Yes, ±0.03 mm repeatability enables precision assembly; force feedback guides insertion tasks safely when tool monitoring is enabled.
What is the power consumption and electrical requirements?
Typical operation consumes 2–4 kW, suitable for standard office-grade three-phase power (30 A), making it ideal for retrofit deployments.
Is the CR-7iA suitable for medical device or pharmaceutical assembly?
Yes, its sealed design and ISO/TS 15066 certification make it suitable for clean-room and controlled environments with proper qualification.
What is the lead time and support availability?
Standard FANUC lead time (8–12 weeks), with global support network and collaborative robot-specific training programs available worldwide.
