FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the FANUC CRX-5iA cost? +

The FANUC CRX-5iA price is normally available by project quote rather than as one fixed global list price. The final cost can depend on robot variant, controller, software options, end effector, vision, fixtures, safety equipment, integration, installation, training, shipping, taxes, warranty and regional support. FANUC quotes CRX-5iA through its sales and integrator network because tooling, food-grade requirements, safety and integration determine the final cost.

This is why two proposals for the same robot can have very different totals: one may cover only the base hardware, while another includes the controller, tooling, software, commissioning, training, travel, safety work and ongoing support. For a serious buyer, the better comparison is the total delivered and deployed cost for the exact application.

You can request a FANUC CRX-5iA quote through Anton Robots to compare the robot package, delivery assumptions, integration scope, warranty and support before purchasing. Compare the FANUC CRX-5iA against at least one alternative using the same payload, reach, cycle, environmental, software, safety, warranty and landed-cost assumptions. The cheapest arm is not necessarily the lowest-risk working cell.

Where can I buy the FANUC CRX-5iA? +

You can buy, order or request the FANUC CRX-5iA through Anton Robots. We help buyers check the correct commercial route, compare the available package, understand what is included and decide whether the robot fits the intended application. FANUC currently offers CRX-5iA in standard and food-grade configurations through direct sales, authorised partners and packaged solutions. Before ordering, confirm the standard or food-grade model, 5 kg total load, 994 mm workspace, R-30iB Plus controller, tablet pendant, end effector, mounting, safety, integration and service.

This matters because the same model name can refer to different controllers, software licences, service plans, regional configurations, accessories or integration scopes. For businesses, universities, construction teams, laboratories or specialist buyers, choosing the correct supported package is more important than finding the lowest isolated price.

To start, request a FANUC CRX-5iA quote or buying review through Anton Robots and compare price, configuration, availability, delivery and after-sales support. The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site.

Where can I find a FANUC CRX-5iA for sale? +

You can find the FANUC CRX-5iA for sale through the manufacturer, authorised commercial channels and specialist robot marketplaces such as Anton Robots, subject to region and configuration. Finding a listing is only the first step. The important part is verifying the exact model, package and support scope. A lower advertised amount may exclude gripper, vision, fixtures, machine interface, safety equipment, stand, food-grade application hardware, integration, training, freight and service.

Professional buyers should compare the total delivered and usable system, including the standard or food-grade model, 5 kg total load, 994 mm workspace, R-30iB Plus controller, tablet pendant, end effector, mounting, safety, integration and service. This is especially important when the robot must meet a launch date, site requirement, research protocol or production target.

If you are looking for a FANUC CRX-5iA for sale, contact Anton Robots before ordering so the commercial status, configuration and support can be checked. Anton Robots should capture transactional search intent by giving a direct buying answer, then require an itemised quote covering the robot, controller, tooling, engineering, delivery, commissioning and ongoing technical support.

Can I get a quote for the FANUC CRX-5iA? +

Yes. You can request a quote or buying review for the FANUC CRX-5iA through Anton Robots. A useful quote should show more than the robot name. It should identify the CRX-5iA arm, R-30iB Plus controller, tablet pendant, software, mounting, end effector, vision, safety, integration, training, delivery and warranty.

This matters because a proposal that looks cheaper can become more expensive once omitted hardware, subscriptions, integration, freight, duties, installation or support are added. The quote should also state what the buyer must provide, the expected delivery process and any regional restrictions.

Anton Robots can help compare the FANUC CRX-5iA with other cobots and structure the enquiry around the actual use case rather than a generic price request. Anton Robots should capture transactional search intent by giving a direct buying answer, then require an itemised quote covering the robot, controller, tooling, engineering, delivery, commissioning and ongoing technical support. The buyer should define ownership of programs, backups, passwords, software licences, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These details determine whether the system remains supportable after the original integrator leaves.

What is included when you buy the FANUC CRX-5iA? +

A typical FANUC CRX-5iA package may include the core robot and the items specified by the selected commercial configuration. The exact delivery can vary by country, application, service plan and supplier, so buyers should request a written packing and scope list. Confirm whether the offer includes:

  • Robot arm in the specified mechanical variant
  • Compatible controller, teach pendant and cables
  • Required software, options and communications
  • End effector, process equipment or application tooling
  • Mounting, fixtures, guarding and safety equipment
  • Programming, commissioning, validation and training
  • Freight, warranty, spare-parts and service terms

The package should also identify anything supplied by the customer, such as networking, site power, mounting, tooling, safety equipment, floor preparation or ongoing subscription fees. This matters because two offers can use the same product name while covering very different levels of readiness. You can request an itemised FANUC CRX-5iA package through Anton Robots before buying.

For international procurement, include currency, taxes, customs, freight, unloading, local certification, installation travel and return logistics. A low equipment price can become a poor offer when the complete deployed cost is calculated.

Can the FANUC CRX-5iA be shipped internationally? +

The FANUC CRX-5iA may be available for international delivery, but this depends on the manufacturer’s sales territory, destination, export rules, freight method, batteries, local certification, installation needs and support coverage. Industrial robot projects can require specialist crating, insurance, customs handling, unloading equipment, foundation or mounting preparation and local commissioning.

Before ordering, ask whether the price includes freight, insurance, customs clearance, import duties, VAT or GST, local delivery, commissioning and return shipping for warranty work. For larger industrial robots, site access, lifting equipment, transport frames and engineer travel may also matter. You can request an international FANUC CRX-5iA review through Anton Robots so regional availability and the full landed package can be checked.

For international procurement, include currency, taxes, customs, freight, unloading, local certification, installation travel and return logistics. A low equipment price can become a poor offer when the complete deployed cost is calculated. Before approving an order, document the exact FANUC CRX-5iA mechanical variant, controller, intended process, destination, payload, tooling, safety concept, acceptance test and service owner. This prevents a supplier from quoting a technically different configuration under the same family name.

Is the FANUC CRX-5iA in stock and how long does delivery take? +

FANUC CRX-5iA availability and delivery time can change according to region, production schedule, configuration, stock, project approval and the amount of customisation or integration required. A current catalogue listing does not guarantee immediate regional stock; the mechanical variant, controller, options and integration schedule determine the real lead time.

Do not assume immediate delivery because a product page or enquiry button is visible. A supplier should confirm the exact model, commercial status, estimated production or dispatch window, dependencies, payment milestones and what happens if the schedule changes.

If the robot is needed for a construction phase, course, exhibition, research project or production launch, verify availability before committing to the wider project. You can request current FANUC CRX-5iA availability through Anton Robots. Before approving an order, document the exact FANUC CRX-5iA mechanical variant, controller, intended process, destination, payload, tooling, safety concept, acceptance test and service owner. This prevents a supplier from quoting a technically different configuration under the same family name.

What warranty and support should I check before buying the FANUC CRX-5iA? +

Before buying the FANUC CRX-5iA, confirm the written warranty period, covered components, exclusions, preventive maintenance, repair location, response process, spare parts, software support and who pays freight or engineer travel. Confirm preventive maintenance, spare-parts availability, controller and software support, response times, remote assistance and the authorised service route for the destination country. Also ask whether batteries, wear parts, end effectors, subscriptions, third-party software and customer modifications are covered.

Industrial and social robots can require remote diagnostics, operator training and specialist service, so support should be evaluated as part of the purchase rather than after a fault occurs. Anton Robots can help buyers compare the package and identify unanswered warranty questions before ordering. Compare the FANUC CRX-5iA against at least one alternative using the same payload, reach, cycle, environmental, software, safety, warranty and landed-cost assumptions.

The cheapest arm is not necessarily the lowest-risk working cell. The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site.

Is the FANUC CRX-5iA worth buying? +

The FANUC CRX-5iA is worth considering if you need a compact, easy-to-deploy FANUC cobot for light parts and flexible production tasks. Its low mass, useful reach, repeatability and intuitive interface make it accessible for smaller automation projects.

However, it is not the right choice if the full tool-and-part load approaches 5 kg or the process needs more reach, force or industrial speed. The decision should be based on the intended outcome, current commercial status, full ownership cost, operator skills, environment, integration and support.

Buyers should not choose it only because the robot is famous, visually impressive or appears in demonstration videos. Compare the FANUC CRX-5iA with other cobots through Anton Robots before deciding. The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site.

What are the payload and reach of the FANUC CRX-5iA? +

The FANUC CRX-5iA has a maximum payload of 5 kg and a stated reach of 994 mm. FANUC lists repeatability at ±0.03 mm and mechanical weight at approximately 25 kg for the stated configuration.

The payload must include the gripper, tool, brackets, hoses, sensors and workpiece, not only the part. Centre of gravity and inertia also affect acceleration and usable performance. Reach should be verified through the complete motion because the robot may need clearance around machines, fixtures and operators. A three-dimensional layout or ROBOGUIDE study is preferable to selecting from reach alone. Anton Robots can help compare the full load and workspace before a quote is accepted.

The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site. The buyer should define ownership of programs, backups, passwords, software licences, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These details determine whether the system remains supportable after the original integrator leaves.

Is the FANUC CRX-5iA easy to program? +

FANUC designed the FANUC CRX-5iA for easier setup than a conventional industrial robot. Depending on the package, users can work with a touchscreen tablet teach pendant, drag-and-drop programming, direct hand guidance and FANUC application tools. Ease of programming does not eliminate the need to engineer the process. The integrator still has to define tool frames, payload data, I/O, machine handshakes, recovery logic, safety zones and production acceptance tests.

Buyers should confirm which pendant, controller, software options and plug-ins are included because packaged solutions can differ. Training should cover normal operation, fault recovery, backups and safe manual intervention. For complex welding, vision or force-controlled work, specialist programming and process knowledge may still be required. The buyer should define ownership of programs, backups, passwords, software licences, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These details determine whether the system remains supportable after the original integrator leaves.

For international procurement, include currency, taxes, customs, freight, unloading, local certification, installation travel and return logistics. A low equipment price can become a poor offer when the complete deployed cost is calculated.

Can the FANUC CRX-5iA work collaboratively without fencing? +

The FANUC CRX-5iA is designed for collaborative applications, but it is not automatically safe to use without fencing in every task. The complete application must be risk assessed, including payload, gripper, sharp edges, heat, welding arc, crushing points, speed, operator position and nearby equipment. Collaborative speed and contact detection can support closer human interaction, while high-speed or hazardous-process modes may require guarding, scanners or restricted access. The robot may be safe to touch in one low-risk handling process but unsuitable for open operation with a heavy metal part or powered cutting tool. Ask the integrator to validate the final cell against applicable machinery and robot-safety standards and include documented safety acceptance in the quote.

For international procurement, include currency, taxes, customs, freight, unloading, local certification, installation travel and return logistics. A low equipment price can become a poor offer when the complete deployed cost is calculated.

Before approving an order, document the exact FANUC CRX-5iA mechanical variant, controller, intended process, destination, payload, tooling, safety concept, acceptance test and service owner. This prevents a supplier from quoting a technically different configuration under the same family name.

What applications is the FANUC CRX-5iA best for? +

The FANUC CRX-5iA is well suited to assembly, compact machine tending, picking and packaging, light dispensing, inspection and small-part material handling. Application fit depends on total payload, reach, cycle time, tool requirements and the way parts are presented. Machine tending may need automatic doors and machine I/O; palletizing may need a pedestal, lift column or package software; welding needs a complete power source, torch, extraction and safety solution; picking may require vision and part fixtures. The cobot arm is therefore only the motion platform.

Buyers should test representative parts and define throughput, uptime and quality targets before purchase. Anton Robots should use the FAQ to answer use-case searches while making clear that end effectors and integration determine the finished capability.

Before approving an order, document the exact FANUC CRX-5iA mechanical variant, controller, intended process, destination, payload, tooling, safety concept, acceptance test and service owner. This prevents a supplier from quoting a technically different configuration under the same family name.

What controller and software does the FANUC CRX-5iA use? +

CRX-5iA uses FANUC’s R-30iB Plus controller platform with a touchscreen tablet teach pendant, direct teaching and plug-in support. The quote should identify the controller, tablet or conventional teach pendant, software release, communication options, plug-ins, vision or force packages and offline-programming requirements. FANUC’s ecosystem can support iRVision, ROBOGUIDE, fieldbus connections and application-specific software, but these may be optional or supplied differently by region.

Buyers should confirm software licences, backup ownership, remote support and compatibility with the selected gripper, welder or machine interface. A packaged system can be easier to deploy than a bare arm, but only if the included software and responsibilities are clearly documented.

Before approving an order, document the exact FANUC CRX-5iA mechanical variant, controller, intended process, destination, payload, tooling, safety concept, acceptance test and service owner. This prevents a supplier from quoting a technically different configuration under the same family name. The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site.

What variants or related models should I compare with the FANUC CRX-5iA? +

Compare the standard CRX-5iA with the food-grade version, CRX-10iA for more payload and reach, and smaller or larger cobots based on the complete application. The best choice should be based on the combined tool-and-part load, required reach, mounting, cycle time and application package.

A higher-payload model may be physically larger or slower, while a lighter model can reduce footprint and cost. Food-grade, paint, welding and long-reach variants are not interchangeable with the standard arm. Ask for the complete mechanical designation and verify the delivered controller and software.

Compare the model with CRX-10iA, CRX-3iA, CRX-10iA/L and other 5 kg collaborative robots using a common application layout rather than selecting only from payload. Anton Robots can help prevent a buyer from ordering the wrong member of a visually similar FANUC family. The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site.

What should be included in a FANUC CRX-5iA quote? +

A complete FANUC CRX-5iA quote should identify the robot arm, controller, tablet or teach pendant, cables, mounting hardware, software options, gripper or process tool, sensors, machine or PLC interface, fixtures, safety equipment, programming, commissioning, training, delivery, warranty and support. It should state the assumed payload, centre of gravity, reach positions, cycle target, utilities and what the customer must supply.

For welding, include the power source, torch, wire package, fume extraction and guarding. For machine tending, include doors, part presentation and error recovery. For palletizing, include the pedestal or lift system, gripper and pallet pattern. Anton Robots should compare the delivered working cell, not a headline cobot price.

The final decision should be supported by a layout, simulation or demonstration using representative parts and process conditions. Catalogue specifications are necessary, but they do not prove access, throughput, quality or safe integration in the buyer’s site. The buyer should define ownership of programs, backups, passwords, software licences, maintenance records and operator training after handover. These details determine whether the system remains supportable after the original integrator leaves.
