Fanuc demos CR- 35iA collaborative robot

Motor Assembly – A FANUC CR-35iA collaborative robot equipped with iRvision picks an unfinished motor from a pallet and places it at a work station where an operator attaches several parts on the motor’s shaft as the robot retrieves a second motor. The robot places the second motor on the work station, then picks and rotates the completed motor, allowing the operator to attach an inspection tag. The robot then transfers the completed motor to a finished motor pallet. After three assemblies are complete, the operation is done in reverse. This cell features very close human/robot collaboration in an interactive application. The FANUC CR-35iA collaborative robot allows shared workspace between an operator and the interactive robot. The highly-sensitive robot gently stops if it comes in contact with the operator, allowing the robot and human to work side by side.
