Cable guidance on the FANUC CRX

igus is FANUC CRX Equipment Partner

Since May 2021, igus has been a proud FANUC Equipment Partner for CRX-10iA and CRX-10iA/L collaborating robots. 
To ensure clean, safe guidance of cables and hoses on the CRX robots, we offer a suitable fixing option with igus cobot clamps and extra protection with the robust triflex R energy chain. 
You can choose between the open TRE chain, the closed TRC chain and the light TRL chain. For these three versions, you can choose between Sizes 30 and 40.  
Fanuc CRX

Attachment points axis 1 & 6

Connection to axis 6

Fanuc CRX connection to axis 6 To install the triflex R chain at the optimum distance from axis 6, we also offer the matching clamp. 
It is fixed to the robot with two screws and the clamp also has 2 holes at the other end to install a mounting bracket (TL.40.01.Z2).

Connection to axis 1

Cobot attachment CRX axis 1 Each cobot clamp comes with 1m of Velcro tape, which makes it possible to install it on axis 1 of the CRX. 
In this case, the mounting bracket is side-mounted on the clamp, thus ensuring a reliable connection between the cobot, clamp, Velcro tape, mounting bracket and triflex® chain. 
In addition, the Velcro tape has a non-slip, silicone-free coating on the inside, which further increases the grip on the robot.  

Installing a triflex R energy supply system on the FANUC CRX

The assembly of the energy supply system on the CRX robot is quick, easy and requires only a few tools (scissors, hexagon socket, screwdriver).

smart plastics in the FIELD system from Fanuc

Intelligent plant monitoring with the Fanuc FIELD system and smart plastics

To evaluate data from machines and systems, FANUC, an international robot manufacturer, offers its "FIELD system" open industrial IoT platform. The system uses local network topology to connect production machines from all manufacturers, allowing comprehensive data analysis for the entire process chain. This infrastructure uses apps from FANUC and third-party suppliers. The "smart plastics - i.Cee" app enables maintenance personnel to monitor the condition of their smart plastics components, such as energy chains and cables, and plan maintenance work in advance in the FIELD system.
