The FAIRINO FR30 is a 6-axis collaborative robot with a 30 kg payload (max 35 kg), 1403 mm reach, and ±0.1 mm repeatability (ISO 9283), designed for high-throughput applications. It supports any mounting orientation, offers IP54 protection (IP65 optional), and features an open development stack (C#/C++/Python/ROS/ROS 2) with optional real-time Ethernet fieldbus boards. The FR series cobots meet ISO 10218/13849/15066 safety standards and hold global certifications (CE, KCs, NRTL, RoHS 2.0, SEMI). Target users include industry manufacturing, logistics, and education, with available application kits and training support.

What is the payload capacity and working radius of the FAIRINO FR30?

The FAIRINO FR30 is a powerful 6-axis collaborative robot that supports a 30 kg rated payload, with an extended range up to 35 kg. Loads up to 30 kg fall within the full-performance “blue” envelope; 30–35 kg requires reduced range operation in the “extended” envelope.

The FR30 has a maximum TCP reach of 1403 mm, with a working envelope defined by its joint limits. The shoulder's range of +85° to −265° and articulated wrist allow above- and below-base poses, while the base rotates nearly a full circle at ±175°. Mechanical limits for each axis are as follows: the base (J1) moves ±175°, the shoulder (J2) moves from +85° to −265°, the elbow (J3) allows ±160°, wrist 1 (J4) moves from +85° to −265°, and both wrist 2 (J5) and wrist 3 (J6) rotate ±175°. These combined motions establish the FR30’s full physical workspace.

What is the precision and performance of the FAIRINO FR30 cobot?

The FR30 offers ±0.1 mm pose repeatability per ISO 9283, serving as its core precision benchmark. Designed for fast, heavy-payload tasks, it reaches up to 2 m/s TCP speed, with joint speeds of 120°/s on the arm and 180°/s on the wrist, enabling consistent, short-cycle movements. It supports linear, circular, helical, and spline paths, with real-time look-ahead and built-in checks for mid-points, end-points, and spline data to ensure smooth interpolation and accurate path execution.

The tool-end status LED gives clear visual feedback, cycling at power-up, showing steady green when enabled, and displaying distinct colors for auto, manual, drag, run, stop, error, and zero-calibration modes, allowing quick status checks by operators.

The FR30 provides built-in collision protection through joint-torque monitoring and configurable responses that stop motion, retract from contact, and return to a safe state. It also supports force/torque-sensor guarding and real-time torque logging for collision detection. Three levels of protective reduced modes are available, with the highest level enforcing a stop for added safety. Hand-guiding is supported natively via drag mode, activated from the button box or tool-end button, allowing safe, compliant teaching alongside human operators.

What installation and setup requirements does the FAIRINO FR30 have?

Secure the FR30 to a rigid base using six M10 bolts (strength ≥ 8.8) torqued to at least 45 Nm, with Ø8 mm dowel pins for alignment. Due to the arm’s mass and inertia, FAIRINO recommends direct floor mounting. The base must support at least 5x the robot’s weight and 10x the J1 torque, have a flat contact surface, and be isolated from other moving equipment to prevent resonance. Allocate an installation space of 3 m x 3 m x 2 m (LxWxH), adding at least 500 mm clearance if using additional end load.

The FR30 uses either the AC Controller 5 kW or DC Controller 5 kW. Use a controller that matches the available supply — 30–60 VDC, 176–264 VAC 50/60 Hz, or 100–240 VAC 50/60 Hz — and connect protective earth, verifying ground resistance is ≤ 1 Ω. Mount the control box 0.6–1.5 m above the floor, away from heat, with at least 150 mm clearance on the heavy-load-line side and 100 mm on other sides for cooling. Follow environmental limits: 0–45 °C, 20–80% RH (non-condensing), altitude below 2000 m, and no exposure to corrosives, liquids, explosive gases, oil mist, dust, metal powder, or strong EMI. Install an upstream air switch and EMC filter.

Maximum Input (for customers to configure the front-stage power supply) Maximum Output (maximum output peak)
DC 2kW 30–60VDC/30A 2000W/48VDC/41A
DC 5kW 30–60VDC/40A 5000W/48VDC/104A
AC narrow voltage 2kW 176–264VAC/10A/Single Machine/50Hz 2000W/48VDC/41A

AC wide voltage 5kW 100–240VAC/16A/Single Machine/50–60Hz 5000W/48VDC/104A

Connect the Button Box or PC to the controller and access the WebAPP at 192.168.58.2 to begin commissioning. Set the installation orientation (Base → Mounting), enter the end payload mass and center of gravity, and calibrate the TCP/tool coordinates before running any motion.

Validate safety by wiring and testing the controller’s two emergency-stop and two safety-stop circuits, confirming correct enable/stop behavior and end-LED status, then performing a controlled power-on and enable sequence.

Operational maintenance (during planned stops with power off)

When possible, return the arm to zero, disconnect control-box power, and visually inspect the robot–controller cable and overall condition. Clean only with water, isopropyl alcohol, 10% ethanol, or 10% naphtha — never use compressed air or bleach. Small grease traces at joints are normal and acceptable.

Preventive maintenance (monthly & semi-annually)

Inspect the arm’s rear covers, rear-cover screws, rubber rings, cables, and cable links. Perform torque checks on the base and tool-flange fasteners using a torque wrench to spec. Include monthly verification of the emergency stop and protective stop functions.

Comprehensive maintenance (annually)

Repeat the full inspection, recheck fastener torque — six M10 bolts at ≥45 Nm for the FR30 base — and confirm the integrity of joint backs and tool-flange bolts. If stored long term, visually inspect the robot at least every six months.

Maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel following the manufacturer’s instructions, with the system powered down before any inspection or adjustment.
