FANUC Robotics Solutions: Practical, Intuitive and Forward-Looking

Modern robotics significantly boost productivity and simplify processes across industries, from automotive and electronics to metalworking and pharmaceuticals. With over one million FANUC robots installed worldwide, FANUC continues to expand its portfolio, focusing on ease of use, energy efficiency, and application diversity.

A key priority is intuitive automation technologies that lower entry barriers for companies of all sizes. These include digital twins, advanced simulation and programming tools, and Python-based programming options, enabling fast and seamless integration into existing production environments.

These technologies also support advanced AI applications. Building on solutions like AI Error Proofing and AI-based image processing, FANUC has developed an AI agent that assists operators using live robot data, predictive models from FANUC Zero Downtime, and integrated manuals.

Among FANUC’s newest products are heavy-payload robots such as the M-410/800F-32C (800 kg) and M-950iA (500 kg), designed for demanding applications. FANUC also expanded its cobot lineup with the CRX-10iA/L Paint—the world’s first explosion-proof collaborative robot for paint, powder, and liquid coating tasks. It features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for easy programming.

Another milestone is the compact R-50iA robot controller, offering enhanced computing power and certified cybersecurity. Its integrated SoftPLC based on Codesys supports all major programming languages, providing maximum flexibility.

FANUC also sets new standards in simulation with ROBOGUIDE V10. The latest version features improved graphics, realistic 3D visualization, and optimised user guidance for efficient offline programming and reduced downtime.

FANUC’s innovations demonstrate how modern robotics can drive efficiency across industries – practically, intuitively, and forward-looking.
