Machine tending
Long cycles on several machines give one mobile cobot the time to load them in turn, even as the part mix changes.
Cobot on an autonomous mobile robot
IROCUBE
Mobile
One robot. Multiple machines. No fixed layout. A FANUC CRX cobot on a Milvus AMR drives to the machine that needs it, tends it, and moves on.
One platform, three applications
What IROCUBE Mobile does
Each IROCUBE Mobile is set up for one job. What they share: long cycles, a need for spatial flexibility, and a robot that moves between stations.
Palletizing
Pick from several stations and build the right pallet, by destination, order or customer.
Intralogistics
Deliver kits to workstations, move parts between lines, take samples to quality control.
Simplified illustration: three IROCUBE Mobiles, each set up for one job. Counters are examples.

02 The cobot · CRX series
FANUC
FANUC, headquartered at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, builds CNC systems, industrial robots and ROBODRILL machining centers. Its roots go back to Japan's first NC system in 1956. It shipped its one millionth robot in 2023, and its "Service First" policy promises maintenance for as long as customers use its products.
- 1M+Robots shipped
- 100+Countries served
- 280+Service locations
In IROCUBE Mobile
The CRX is the arm that tends the machine, builds the pallet or sets down the parts. FANUC calls it mobile robot-ready.
- Stops on light contact, so it works next to people without fences. Certified to ISO 10218-1, including ISO/TS 15066.
- Taught with drag-and-drop icons on a tablet, or by guiding the arm by hand.
- 8 years of maintenance-free operation, rated IP67.
| CRX model | Payload | Reach |
|---|---|---|
| CRX-5iA | 5 kg | 994 mm |
| CRX-10iA | 10 kg | 1,249 mm |
| CRX-10iA/L | 10 kg | 1,418 mm |
| CRX-20iA/L | 20 kg | 1,418 mm |
| CRX-30iA | 30 kg | 1,756 mm |

What we add
- The top module that joins the AMR and the cobot: mechanics, electrics and safety, designed in-house.
- Grippers for your parts or boxes.
- Camera calibration at every station: ±0.2 mm, in under a second.
- The application itself: machine tending, palletizing or intralogistics, programmed and tested.
- Commissioning, training and service, with one contact for the whole system.
IROCUBE Mobile · Navigation
Why we chose AMR technology
IROCUBE Mobile drives on a Milvus AMR, not on a tape-guided AGV. Watch both in the same factory and see how map-based navigation handles changing routes, station positions and production needs.
How does the robot reach different production points?
Go to
A tape-guided AGV follows its installed guide network. An AMR plans routes to configured destinations within its permitted operating area.
The tape-guided AGV is shown only for comparison. In this example the AGV's guide network does not reach CNC 03; that would take a guide path extension, not a different robot. A closed aisle is marked on the AMR's map here; an AMR that meets an unexpected obstacle slows down and stops, and plans another way only where the site allows one.
- A small factory: CNC 01 and CNC 02 on the north wall, CNC 03 on the east wall, a raw parts pallet on the south wall, a finished parts table, and two aisles around a row of benches.
- The section opens on both robots, on turntables: a tape-guided AGV, shown for comparison, and the AMR that IROCUBE Mobile uses. Each one can be chosen to watch it.
- The tape-guided AGV. Its guide tape branches to CNC 01, CNC 02, the finished parts table and the pallet. Sent to CNC 02, it follows the tape there. Sent to CNC 03, it cannot go: the tape does not reach CNC 03, so a guide path extension would be needed.
- The AMR, in the same factory. It has a map with the permitted area and the stations, CNC 03 included. It plans a route to CNC 02 along the same aisles, then a route to CNC 03, and drives there. The planned route exists only on the map.
- Close this aisle: the AGV stops on its guide path and waits. The AMR plans a route through the other aisle. If every route is closed, the AMR waits too.
What happens when the parts move?
Move the parts pallet
A new destination without laying a new guide tape.
The tape-guided AGV is shown only for comparison. AGV: extend or revise the affected guide path, then update the task setup. AMR: define the new destination on the map, check the setup, and plan the route. B and C are agreed places, prepared in advance. The tablet is a concept screen, not the actual interface. A new pick point may also need the camera, cobot program, gripper, reach or station reference checked again.
- The tape-guided AGV, shown for comparison. The raw parts pallet is at A; the AGV docks there on its tape and the cobot picks a part.
- An operator moves the pallet to B or C with a pallet truck. The robot waits. The old place stays marked on the floor.
- The operator lays new guide tape from the new place to the existing tape, then updates and checks the task setup. The rest of the old tape stays. The AGV then follows the new tape and picks there.
- The AMR, as in IROCUBE Mobile. The operator moves the pallet the same way, then selects the new place on a tablet map, sets the heading and saves it; the destination is checked. Nothing is laid on the floor. The AMR plans a route, drives there and picks.
What happens when the next job changes?
Adapt the job sequence as production needs change.
Tape-guided AGV systems use task management too; they reach the next job along their guide paths. No capacity or waiting-time figures are implied.
- The AMR is changing parts at CNC 01. The task list says CNC 02 is next, then CNC 03. CNC 02 is machining; CNC 03 has finished its cycle and waits.
- The operator presses Prioritize CNC 03: the task list now says CNC 03, then CNC 02.
- The AMR first finishes the part change at CNC 01. Then it plans a route to CNC 03 within its permitted area and drives there, while the other machines keep machining.
- At CNC 03 it changes parts. CNC 02 is next.
Flexible access to the places where production needs it.
Explore navigation and dockingIllustrative comparison with a tape-guided AGV. Capabilities depend on the navigation system, configuration and application. Timings are the pace of the animation, not real speeds or setup times.

Accuracy where it counts
±0.2 mm at the machine, after every docking
An AMR stops within a few millimeters. That is not enough for a chuck. At each station the cobot's camera reads a calibration target and corrects its position in under a second, before every critical move.
IROCUBE Mobile
Machines spread across your plant? One robot goes to each of them.
- 01Mobile drives to a machine elsewhere in your plant and docks.
- 02Its camera reads the calibration target on the machine.This corrects the docking position, so every move is precise to ±0.2 mm.
- 03The door opens. It unloads two finished parts and loads two raw ones.
- 04The door closes and the machine continues machining. Mobile moves on.
