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.

What safety features and collaborative capabilities does the FAIRINO FR30 offer?

The FR30 includes a hardware emergency stop on the button box and supports two separate emergency-stop inputs and two safety-stop inputs on the controller, enabling direct wiring of category-style stop circuits.

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.

FAIRINO lists ISO 10218, 13849, and 15066 functional-safety certifications, along with CE, KCs, NRTL, RoHS 2.0, NSF, and SEMI product approvals, aligning the FR30 and the broader FR series with global human-robot collaboration standards.

What programming methods, development tools, and software environments are available with the FAIRINO FR30?

The FR30 is programmed using FAIRINO’s browser-based WebAPP, accessible on a PC, tablet, or phone, and mirrored to the optional Teach Pendant.

The interface supports graphical programming and Lua scripting in a single environment, with a multilingual user interface.

Offline programming and virtual commissioning are supported through simulation flags on linear and circular moves (e.g., SimMoveC), enabling trajectory checks without motion execution. Program-safety features like over-speed protection and singularity avoidance can be toggled via the API to validate paths under real-world constraints.

What connectivity and integration options are available on the FAIRINO FR30?

The FR30 supports 50+ connectivity options. Its controller includes 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and two high-speed pulse inputs. The tool flange adds 2 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output, along with a 24 V/1.5 A power rail for end-effectors. All I/O uses 24 V industrial signaling with selectable NPN/PNP wiring and configurable valid-level behavior for safe integration with plant equipment.

Standard networking includes Ethernet (TCP/IP) with Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU for PLC or SCADA integration. A built-in socket interface supports UDP and TCP (server/client) with ASCII or HEX payloads for custom device communication.

For fieldbus integration, optional MiniPCIe real-time Ethernet boards support CC-Link, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT. The controller API allows fieldbus-slave selection for Siemens, CC-Link, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP. The Modbus TCP slave map lets external controllers start programs and control digital outputs. The Safety Box connects via RJ45 with PoE, presenting the WebAPP over TCP/IP for line-side access.

What is the mechanical design and build quality of the FAIRINO FR30?

With a 240 mm base footprint and ~85 kg arm mass, the FR30 fits dense cell layouts while providing a rigid platform. Its aluminum-steel structure features six rotary joints and a standard end flange with four M6 threaded holes for tool mounting.

The controller has a galvanized IP54-rated chassis, measuring 245 x 180 x 44.5 mm and weighing 2.1–2.5 kg.

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.

FR30 model collaborative robot installation size

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.

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.

What maintenance requirements does the FAIRINO FR30 have?

The FAIRINO FR30 requires 10+ maintenance procedures to preserve collaborative safety functions, mechanical integrity, and placement stability across monthly, semi-annual, and annual intervals; FAIRINO additionally prescribes a monthly check of the emergency-stop and protective-stop functions.

Arm checklist (rear covers, screws, rubber rings, cables / cable links, base mounting bolts, and end-tool mounting bolts)

Note: F = Functional check, V = Visual inspection, * = Must be checked after severe collision.

Controller / teach pendant / button-box checklist (E-stop, safety I/O, mode switching, pendant cable, control-box air filter, terminal tightness, ground resistance ≤1 Ω, and main power checks)

Note: F = Functional check, V = Visual inspection.

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.
