What Makes the CR-35iB Special

What makes the CR-35iB stand out is its combination of collaborative operation and serious lifting capacity. Many cobots are designed mainly for light handling, small assembly, inspection, or simple pick-and-place work. The CR-35iB sits in a different class. It is aimed at heavier industrial tasks where workers may still need to interact with the robot or work nearby.

It also keeps several useful FANUC features, including hand guidance, tablet-style programming, vision options, force sensing options, and a hollow arm design for cleaner cable routing. For businesses already using FANUC robots, this can make integration easier because the CR-35iB fits into the wider FANUC automation ecosystem.

Overall, the CR-35iB is best viewed as a heavy-duty collaborative robot for factories that want cobot-style flexibility without giving up industrial payload capacity.

Payload and Reach Modes

CR-35iB standard payload mode
Payload: 35 kg | Reach: 1831 mm | Robot Weight: 375 kg | Repeatability: ±0.03 mm
Best suited for: Heavy part transfer, machine tending, automotive handling, packaging, and applications that need longer reach with high payload.

CR-35iB 50 kg payload mode
Payload: 50 kg | Reach: 1643 mm | Robot Weight: 375 kg | Repeatability: ±0.03 mm
Best suited for: Heavier lifting and handling tasks where maximum payload is more important than maximum reach.

Note: The 50 kg mode has a restricted operating space, so it should be checked carefully during system design and risk assessment.
