The FANUC CRX-10iA/L Paint is a collaborative robot, or cobot, designed for industrial painting and coating applications. It serves as an ideal solution for manufacturers and educational institutions with limited to no prior experience in robotics. This cobot is engineered for precision work in painting, powder coating, liquid coating, and fiberglass industries. It ensures an even and reliable application of materials every time. As the first cobot approved for painting under U.S. safety standards, the CRX-10iA/L Paint stands out as the premier choice for training on precision dispensing tasks. Its user-friendly programming and proven reliability make complex automation accessible to a new generation of technicians and engineers, solving the challenge of automating finishing processes in a safe, collaborative environment.
Students and operators using the CRX-10iA/L Paint will develop a range of valuable technical skills. The core learning objective is programming and operating a collaborative robot in a specialized application. Users will master intuitive “easy-teach” features, including drag-and-drop programming via a graphical interface and “lead through teach” capabilities. This allows them to physically guide the robot to create motion paths. Key applications include automating painting and coating on complex surfaces, accurately dispensing liquids or powders, and handling fiberglass chop/gel processes. The system provides hands-on experience in setting up and integrating a cobot with other industrial equipment, understanding path editing for process optimization, and working with advanced force-sensing technology for safe human-robot collaboration.

Aidex is proud to supply the CRX-10iA/L Paint to learning institutions across the Midwest. We are committed to equipping educators and students in the region with the industry-leading tools they need to succeed.
A curriculum built around this cobot would cover safe operation of collaborative robots in industrial environments, intuitive programming using drag-and-drop interfaces, “lead-through-teach” path creation, principles of automated coating and material dispensing, and systems integration with peripheral equipment for a complete automated process.
The target audience includes post-secondary students in robotics and automation programs, vocational schools focusing on advanced manufacturing, and industrial training centers that teach modern painting and finishing trades. It is also ideal for operators with little to no previous robotics experience.
The cobot features sensitive contact detection technology that immediately and safely stops the robot upon contact with a person or unexpected object. It is also designed and certified to comply with stringent U.S. explosion-proof safety standards, making it suitable for collaborative workspaces.
It is designed for simplicity and users with no robotics background. Programming can be done through a simple drag-and-drop interface on a Teach Pendant or by using the “lead-through-teach” function, which allows an operator to physically guide the robot arm to teach it a specific path.
This indicates that the core robot unit is built with FANUC’s proven industrial reliability to operate for eight years without requiring scheduled maintenance for its mechanical components. This design feature significantly reduces downtime and the total cost of ownership.
