FANUC CRX Collaborative Robots

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.

Why Choose a FANUC CRX + DuoGrip?

Collaborative Safety

CRX works safely around humans with no cages required.

Flexible Setups

Quick-change fingers for billets, pucks, and shafts.

Faster Cycles

DuoGrip loads and unloads in a single motion.

Reliable Performance

FANUC’s proven tech in a lightweight, collaborative form.

How It Works

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.

Best-Fit Applications

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.

Why VersaBuilt + CRX?
