Date: 13/04/2026

By eliminating the need for safety fences, the CRX-10iA/L PAINT allows human operators to share the workspace safely, protected by the series' signature high-sensitivity contact stop technology.

FANUC Europe has announced the market debut of the CRX-10iA/L PAINT, the first collaborative robot (cobot) engineered for hazardous, explosion-prone environments. Meeting ATEX Cat. II Group 2G and 2D standards, this cobot is ideal for industrial painting, wet spraying, powder coating, and adhesive dispensing.

Key Features & Productivity

  • User-Friendly Interface: Operators can program the robot in minutes via a tablet-based app using "drag-and-drop" icons, requiring no prior robotics expertise.
  • Leading Reach: The six-axis cobot offers a 10kg payload and a 1418mm reach, the longest in its category.
  • Versatile Mounting: Can be installed on the floor, wall, or ceiling, with a unique "flip-motion" to access tight spaces.
  • Ecosystem Integration: Fully compatible with almost all automatic spray guns through a dedicated plug-in system.
