The FAIRINO FR5 is a 6-axis collaborative robot designed for compact industrial settings, offering ±0.02 mm repeatability via a self-developed real-time control system. Its browser-based WebAPP enables graphical programming, reducing deployment time compared to PLC-only systems. Certified for global safety and compliance (CR, CE, ISO 10218/13849/15066, etc.), the FR5 supports fast, application-specific deployment through its FR+ ecosystem of palletizing, bin-picking, welding, and CNC-tending solutions. Key specs include a 5 kg payload (7 kg max), 922 mm reach, IP54 body (IP65 optional), and <65 dB noise level. It's tailored for SMEs in electronics, logistics, machine tending, and light fabrication, offering precise motion, easy integration, and a compact footprint.
The FAIRINO FR5 cobot has a 5 kg payload, with a 7 kg maximum for extended loads, which require reduced speed or range.
The FR5 has a 922 mm working radius, limited by joint ranges: J1 ±175°, J2 +85°/−265°, J3 ±160°, J4 +85°/−265°, J5 ±175°, and J6 ±175°. These allow overhead and downward approaches while preventing over-travel. Integrators can programmatically set or query joint soft limits via the controller.
The FAIRINO FR5 offers ±0.02 mm repeatability (ISO 9283) via its in-house real-time control system. It supports 1 m/s TCP speed and joint velocities up to ±180°/s, enabling fast, precise motion. Real-time planning ensures smooth linear and point-to-point trajectories across its full reach.

The FR5 includes dual-circuit emergency and safety-stop inputs, with HMI-configurable functions like safe stop mode, manual speed, I/O safety, and safety planes.
The FR5 supports emergency-stop types 0, 1a, 1b, and 2 with adjustable stop time and distance. Hand-guided mode limits TCP speed to ≤250 mm/s. An end-of-arm LED indicates robot status for clear local feedback.
The FR5 complies with ISO 10218, ISO 13849, and ISO/TS 15066 for functional safety, and holds certifications including CE, KCs, NRTL, RoHS 2.0, NSF, SEMI, and ISO 9001 for quality management.
Operators can hand-guide the FR5 using Drag mode via the button box or HMI, with status shown on the end LED. Collision sensitivity is adjustable per axis (levels 1–10 or custom), and post-collision response can be set to stop or continue. The system supports protective-stop types 0/1/2 and emergency stops that decelerate or cut power instantly. Force/torque sensors enable guarded motion and collision detection using the FT_Guard command.
The FR5 is programmed via FAIRINO’s browser-based WebAPP on PC, tablet, or phone, with an optional 10.1-inch teach pendant that mirrors the interface.
The HMI supports drag-and-drop programming and Lua scripting in one interface, with UI languages in Chinese, English, French, and Japanese. Users connect via the controller’s web server to teach, edit, and run jobs through the WebAPP.
FAIRINO offers SDKs for C#, C++, and Python, with native ROS and ROS2 integration for external control. Application kits provide guided no-code workflows — e.g., the palletizing package sets up in three graphical steps.
The Controller Communication Command Protocol provides low-level API access for configuration and motion control, including TCP pose queries, joint limit settings, and force/torque commands like FT_Guard and FT_Control. This enables precise scripting, force monitoring, and external robot-cell coordination.
The FR5 offers 50+ connectivity options. The tool flange includes 2 DI, 2 DO, 1 AI, 1 AO, a 24V/1.5A power rail, and 2 high-speed pulse inputs. The controller adds 16 DI, 16 DO, 2 AI, 2 AO, and its own 24V/1.5A I/O supply for cell wiring.
Standard networking includes TCP/IP with Modbus TCP/IP and RTU. Optional MiniPCIe boards add CC-Link, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and EtherCAT for PLC fieldbus integration.
The controller offers a documented network protocol for direct I/O and motion control — such as setting soft limits, safety settings, and outputs — enabling data exchange alongside fieldbus traffic.
The FAIRINO FR5 is a 6-axis aluminum and steel arm with a compact, rigid design for line-side mounting. It has a 149 mm base footprint, weighs ~22 kg, and comes rated IP54 (IP65 optional). It operates in 0–45 °C and ≤90% RH (non-condensing), suitable for typical shop-floor conditions.
The controller has a galvanized IP54-rated chassis, measuring 245 x 180 x 44.5 mm and weighing 2.1–2.5 kg.
The optional teach pendant is an IP54-rated ABS/PP unit, 268 x 210 x 88 mm, weighing 1.6 kg — durable and compact for industrial use.
The FR5 emits <65 dB during operation, making it suitable for human-robot co-presence in light manufacturing and lab settings without extra noise control.
The standard FAIRINO FR5 collaborative robot arm package includes:
The FR5 ships fully assembled with a separate control and button box. After securing the base and connecting the cables and power, it’s ready to run via the WebAPP.

Mount the FR5 on a flat, rigid base rated for 5x its mass and 10x J1 torque, isolated from vibration sources. Use four M8 bolts (≥20 Nm) with Ø8 mm locating pins for accurate positioning — add pins for high-precision tasks.
FR5 model collaborative robot installation size
The FR5 uses either the AC MINI Controller 2 kW or DC MINI Controller 2 kW (30–60 VDC input). Check the nameplate, ground the system, and use quick connectors for wiring.
| 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 2kW | 100–240VAC/10A/Single Machine/50–60Hz | 2000W/48VDC/41A |
| AC wide voltage 5kW | 100–240VAC/16A/Single Machine/50–60Hz | 5000W/48VDC/104A |
Ensure cabinet ground resistance is ≤1 Ω and use code-compliant wiring — ≥4 mm² copper or ≥16 mm² aluminum if unprotected. Digital I/O runs at 24V; the controller supplies up to 1.5–2 A internally, or use EX24V/EXON for higher loads. Safety I/O must be dual-channel per ISO. After mounting, connect the robot–controller umbilical, button box, and power lead, then release the E-stop and power on.
Robot wiring schematic diagram
Connect via Ethernet to the button-box port and set the PC to 192.168.58.xx (not .2) with subnet 255.255.255.0. Go to 192.168.58.2, enter the control-box SN to activate, power-cycle, and log in (default admin) to access the WebAPP. Check the end LED status (green = Manual, blue = Auto), then perform basic checks: enable, jog, test E-stop response, verify I/O terminal tightness, and ensure the control-box air filter is clean.
The FAIRINO FR5 requires 15+ inspection and maintenance procedures to preserve mechanical integrity, electrical safety, and placement accuracy across monthly, semi-annual, and annual intervals; FAIRINO publishes a time-based checklist for the robot arm and for the control box/teach devices.

Operational maintenance (between scheduled inspections)
With power off, inspect the robot–controller cable, fasteners, joints, and seals. Clean the arm with water, isopropyl alcohol, or 10% ethanol/naphtha — never use compressed air. Minor grease at joints is normal. In harsh environments, clean more often and replace rubber rings as needed.
Preventive maintenance (monthly & semi-annually)
Inspect joint rear covers, screws, rubber rings, cables, and links. Torque-check base and end-tool bolts. On the controller, test E-stop, verify safety I/O, check start/stop and mode switching, inspect the button-box cable, clean the air filter, ensure firm terminals, confirm ground resistance ≤1 Ω, and check main power supply condition.
Comprehensive maintenance (annually)
Repeat full arm and controller checks. Test functional safety by triggering the E-stop — confirm the robot stops and joint power is cut — then re-enable and verify safety I/O remains active. Visually inspect the robot if stored for over 6 months.
Skills and tools
Mechanical checks (covers, seals, fasteners) must be done by a technician using a torque wrench per spec; FAIRINO requires torque verification on specified bolts. Electrical checks (safety I/O, terminals, power) must be done by a qualified technician with power off; ground resistance must be ≤1 Ω. Use an ESD vacuum — never compressed air — for cleaning inside the control box.
