FANUC CRX-10iA vs DENSO COBOTTA PRO 1300: Cobot Comparison
Updated: 10 hours ago
IN A NUTSHELL
🔎 THE KEY DIFFERENCE DENSO COBOTTA PRO 1300 has the higher stated load capacity and longer stated reach. Those figures help shortlist it for heavier loads or wider layouts, but do not prove a faster production cycle. |
→ CONSIDER FANUC CRX-10iA Consider it when its stated load and reach already cover your task and its controls fit your equipment. This article compares 10 kg with a published reach of 1249 mm; include the gripper and part in the load. |
→ CONSIDER DENSO COBOTTA PRO 1300 Consider it when additional load capacity and reach matter. This article compares 12 kg with a published reach of 1,300 mm; include the gripper and part in the load. |
💡 THE TAKEAWAY Check the real tool, movement path and safety assessment before choosing. A collaborative label does not make every task safe without guarding; compare complete installation quotes. |
The FANUC CRX-10iA and the DENSO COBOTTA PRO 1300 are listed only $1,000 apart and weigh about 40 kg each. The COBOTTA PRO 1300 carries 12 kg, repeats to ±0.04 mm and reaches 2500 mm/s in non-collaborative operation. The CRX-10iA is rated IP67.
Quick verdict. The DENSO COBOTTA PRO 1300 is the better choice for heavier grippers and fast assembly in dry cells, with 12 kg and ±0.04 mm. The FANUC CRX-10iA is the better choice for coolant-exposed tending, collaborative welding and FANUC plants.
