Manufacturer

FANUC

Japanese robot and CNC builder with one of the largest installed bases of industrial robots in the world.

FANUC grew out of Fujitsu's numerical control division and became an independent company in 1972, building its reputation on CNC controls before expanding into industrial robots in 1977.

The company is known for a yellow-painted, tightly integrated hardware and software ecosystem, with its own controllers, servo motors, and R-30iB control cabinets used across its robot lineup.

FANUC's product range spans the collaborative CRX series through mid-size M-series arms to the high-payload M-2000iA, alongside dedicated ARC Mate welding and P-series paint robots.

The company operates a large service and distributor network in North America, which makes parts, training, and integrator support easy to find compared to some competitors.
