From the market performance in recent years, it can be inferred that collaborative robot technology has been fully validated in the market. Unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots have a wider range of application scenarios. From traditional industrial scenarios to emerging consumer fields, collaborative robots can not only help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, but also achieve safe collaboration between humans and machines, lowering the threshold for users in terms of ease of use. As a collaborative robot expert, FANUC continues to penetrate into the sub industry to provide users with more high-quality and reliable solutions. Recently, we visited the production plant of Shanghai Huawang Co., Ltd. through on-site photography and saw multiple Fanuc CRX industrial collaborative robots systematically stacking the finished products on the production line. The engineers of the enterprise said that after using the CRX industrial cooperative robot, compared with the original production, the work efficiency was improved. At the same time, the automation equipment also avoided some manual errors that might occur in the wrong position and stacking.

As an international well-known consumer brand, Kao has many business production lines involved. At the initial stage, when planning the layout of production workshops, ordinary robots were introduced for stacking operations. However, considering the safety factors, many fences, Light curtain and other devices were added to the operation site. In this way, due to the large space occupied by physical isolation devices, it not only affects the addition of other equipment in the future, but also occupies the circulation channels of goods and cardboard boxes, burying safety hazards. In order to solve the problem of space use and eliminate potential safety hazards, the factory has introduced FANUC CRX industrial cooperation robot for stacking of finished products. In 2022, FANUC launched the CRX model with a maximum load of 25kg, with a working radius of 1889mm. With stronger operating capacity and wider operating range, it can easily deal with the application scenarios of stacking, handling, loading and unloading under the requirements of large load and boom extension. And a dedicated stacking process package is built-in to meet the requirements of different stacking types. At the same time, the CRX industrial collaboration robot has a compact body design that can adapt to small activity spaces, sensitive contact stop function, and ensures the feasibility and safety of human-machine cooperation. It truly helps industry users achieve the goal of reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and optimizing production space, thereby quickly obtaining investment returns.

The engineer of the enterprise gave full affirmation to the excellent performance of CRX industrial cooperative robot in terms of safety, stability, flexibility and ease of use. She believed that the cooperative robot has the industry's safety standards and has more advantages than ordinary robots in terms of safety. From the stability point of view, the stability of the CRX cooperative robot is still OK from the introduction to the present, and the CRX cooperative robot has no faults since its use, which is relatively reliable. It can be seen that through the introduction of FANUC CRX industrial cooperative robot, the production environment of Kao production workshop has been further improved, and the automation and intelligence of production processes have been realized more safely, which has solved the dual problems of space and safety. With the continuous optimization and development of collaborative robot technology, more industries and fields will adopt collaborative robots to complete production and work tasks in the future. Collaborative robot technology will be widely popularized and have a profound impact on traditional production methods and workflows. FANUC will continue to improve on the road of industrial cooperative robots, meet the changing market demand with its outstanding technical strength and innovation ability, and help users achieve more efficient and safe production and management.
