The verdict

The specs separate them here: the Omron TM12 carries more, 12 kg to the FANUC CRX-10iA's 10 kg. If precision drives the job, the FANUC CRX-10iA holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.04 mm. For a tight or overhead cell, the FANUC CRX-10iA lists Inverted and Angle mounting while the Omron TM12 lists Table and Wall mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at machine tending and assembly, with the FANUC CRX-10iA stretching to palletizing and the Omron TM12 to material handling and packaging.

FANUC CRX-10iA
  • Fast setup with hand-guiding
  • Low maintenance
  • Light enough to move between cells
Omron TM12
  • Higher payload than most collaborative peers
  • Built-in vision simplifies part location
  • Hand-guided teaching speeds programming
  • Built-in vision and force sensing for collaborative applications
