FANUC CRX-25iA

How CRX-25iA compares within +/- 5 kg payload.

Heaviest-payload FANUC cobot (25 kg / 1.9 m). Direct competitor to UR20 and Doosan H2515 at full-pallet stacking. 8-year service moat applies here too.

Why this cobot costs what it costs.

The CRX-25iA is the cobot for buyers who don't want to choose between collaborative-mode operation and full-pallet payload. 25 kg with 1.9 m reach handles end-of-line case-packing for cases up to ~50 lb at full reach, plus most machine tending applications that need a hefty tool changer or part. The $60-85K distributor band positions it against UR20 ($65-85K) and Doosan H2515 ($60-75K), and the 8-year maintenance-free interval is again a $10-15K lifetime cost saving versus UR Care equivalents. Where the CRX-25iA gets bundled into $80K+ quotes is when integrators add safety + vision + EOAT for full-pallet stacking applications — the bare arm price hides that the cell will reach $130-180K installed. The Qviro indicative listing at $63,776 should be read as 'starting' — buyers should expect their integrator to quote $75-90K for the configured arm with controller + tablet, before integration. For palletizing applications where cycle time matters and lifetime cost dominates, this is the cohort's strongest argument against UR20.

Vendor-specific Bill of Materials.

These line items are what FANUC cells specifically need, beyond the bare arm. Multiply the arm price by 2.5-4x to land at typical installed cost — these items account for most of that multiplier.

Target buyer profile.

Mid-market manufacturers automating end-of-line case-packing or full-pallet stacking, where 5-year lifetime cost is the decision driver and existing FANUC industrial-robot fleet is a plus.

Qviro lists 63,776 USD indicative; CRX top-of-line, often quoted over 80K with safety/vision bundles.
