Fanuc offers the world's first ATEX Zone collaborative robot

The new products presented by FANUC at the GI Lyon 2025 show will be numerous. For this edition, the CRX-10iA/L Paint will be presented for the first time at Global Industrie. Thanks to this innovation, robotization becomes accessible to all paint shops, including those that deal with small series. Another presentation, the RoboGuide V10 simulator which offers a completely redesigned user interface.

45 kg all wet! The CRX-10iA/L Paint from Fanuc is one of the most powerful. In fact, it only needs an electrical outlet to be used and has a small footprint; it will fit into any booth. It can be programmed without any special knowledge, by manually guiding the robot arm or by creating a series of pre-programmed movements by simple drag and drop. It also includes all the safety functions necessary to work in collaborative mode, in the presence of the painter if necessary.

Painting specialist and ATEX certified

The CRX-10iA/L Paint benefits from all of FANUC’s experience in painting robots with controls specifically developed for these applications. With a reach of 1,418 mm and the ability to rotate its arm, it can work on large parts and access spaces that humans can hardly reach. It offers a payload of 10 kg, perfect for guns. The CRX-10iA/L Paint complies with ATEX regulations for Category 2 and Group IIG (formerly Zone 1). This painting specialist will also find its place in powder or gel coating workshops, as well as in the manufacture of composite materials (fiberglass lamination for example).

All about the RoboGuide V10

Developed based on user feedback, the new version of the FANUC robot simulator takes a major step forward in terms of rendering realism and user experience. It even allows simulations to be used in virtual reality applications. The RoboGuide V10 simulator thus offers a completely redesigned user interface. More intuitive, it has points in common with other common environments such as Windows or AutoCAD. RoboGuide V10 has also been developed with the previous user interface, in a version called RoboGuide V10 Classic. Users can therefore take all the time they need to familiarize themselves with the new interface. RoboGuide V10 is based on new 64-bit software, capable of processing a large quantity of CAD files. This allows design offices to simulate cells integrating a large quantity of robots and production equipment, with increased graphic quality, for an ever more realistic experience.

Introduction of Virtual Reality (VR)

RoboGuide V10 can export cell simulations as 3D video files. Videos that can be played and viewed in a virtual reality headset. This feature will greatly facilitate exchanges between integrators and users, by allowing the latter to project themselves into the cell.
