When your shop demands safe, efficient, and reliable automation, VersaBuilt’s DuoGrop + FANUC CRX system delivers. This solution combines FANUC’s user-friendly collaborative cobot with VersaBuilt’s high-efficiency DuoGrip technology–built to streamline single-operation CNC tending with ease.
VersaBuilt offers the FANUC CRX Series—a collaborative robot line that combines FANUC’s industrial reliability with user-friendly setup and operation. CRX cobots are designed for safe, flexible automation in CNC environments, making them ideal for shops that want the power of FANUC with the approachability of a collaborative robot.
CRX works safely around humans with no cages required.
Quick-change fingers for billets, pucks, and shafts.
DuoGrip loads and unloads in a single motion.
FANUC’s proven tech in a lightweight, collaborative form.
The CRX cobot positions the DuoGrip at the CNC, where it simultaneously unloads a finished part and loads a new one, while VersaBlast clears chips and coolant–delivering shorter cycle times, minimal operator touchpoints, and consistent quality every run.
Ideal for billet and puck single-op machining on mills, shaft and pipe tending on lathes, and high-mix or high-volume production in aerospace, automotive, and job shop environments.
Most robot systems are built for automation engineers.
VersaBuilt + FANUC CRX is built for machinists.
FANUC delivers collaborative reliability. MultiGrip delivers unmatched flexibility.
VersaBuilt brings it all together.
