Cobot Painter · Industry first
Speed & consistency with a collaborative painting cobot
Most paint robots require complex programming and specialists. The Cobot Painter doesn't. Control every part from a phone or tablet. Setup takes minutes, coatings stay consistent, waste and rework drop.
POWDER + LIQUID — EXPLOSION-PROOFWhy shops switch
Robotic spray painting without the paint cell
A flexible, affordable alternative to traditional paint booths and manual spraying, for metal fabrications, wood products, or composite parts.
Cleaner, consistent finishes
Automated spray control for powder and liquid applications. A consistent coat every time, with less paint waste and overspray.
Fast, code-free setup
Powered by the Beacon app, your team is up and running in minutes. No specialists, no complex programming.
Extended-reach cobot arm
A 55.8" reach and unique underflip motion handle large parts and difficult spray angles.
Smarter, safer workflow
Live data tracking with built-in safety features, and no hazardous environment for your operators.

Build it out
Build the cell around the part
Your part doesn't have to fit the cell. Start from what your work needs: long, round, thick, or two at a time.
Software
Subscription features on the Beacon platform.
Adds Fine Tune Points, operator roles, enhanced playlists, up to 30 days of history and CSV export. Free 30-day trial.
$80/MO PER COBOT
Priority support with on-site service, loaner equipment, and discounted repairs
$5,000/YR PER SYSTEM
Line Tracking
Track and paint parts as they move on a conveyor line
COMING SOON
Hardware
Bolts onto the cell, quoted with your system.
Paint Extender
The same base motion hardware with a paint-robot pedestal and revised cable management
COMING SOON
Applications
Painting automation for your team, no specialists required
Large parts, small batches, or complex geometries all get smooth, repeatable finishes through intuitive, no-code controls.
Powder
Powder coating
Consistent coverage and reduced waste. Smooth, durable finishes with precision control, ideal for high-mix low-volume production.
Liquid
Liquid coatings
From primers to top coats, even spray patterns and repeatable finishes with minimal overspray.
Conveyor
Conveyor line tracking, coming soon
The Line Tracking add-on will apply paint exactly where automated lines fall short, filling in missed areas without slowing the line.
Manual booth
Roll into a manual booth
Roll the cobot into a manual paint booth, coat parts, and roll it back out. No permanent install, no disruption.
Comparison
Cobot painting vs. traditional paint booths
For shops that have outgrown hand-spraying but aren't ready for a full automation line, the cobot is the practical middle ground.
Cobot painting- Deployed and working within days
- Works inside your existing spray environment
- No dedicated booth required
- Fraction of the cost of full automation
- Easily redeployed to different lines
- No programming; teach paths through Beacon
- Handles powder, liquid & specialty coatings
Traditional paint booths- Weeks to months for installation
- Requires dedicated booth construction
- Exhaust infrastructure and conveyor integration
- Six-figure capital investment
- Fixed location, not easily moved
- Requires trained programmers or integrators
- Designed for high-volume, single-product runs

Questions
You have questions, we have answers
What types of coatings can it handle?
Powder, liquid, and specialty coatings, including primers and top coats. Coverage stays consistent, with minimal overspray and less waste. Versatile for high-mix, low-volume finishing work.
Do I need programming experience?
No. Your team teaches spray paths by hand-guiding the teaching handle at the end of the arm, shaped like a spray gun, then adjusts spray speed, pattern, and coverage directly in the Beacon app. No coding or robotics experience required.
Is it safe to use around people?
Yes. The FANUC CRX-10iA/L Paint is the world's first explosion-proof collaborative paint cobot. It's certified IECEx and ATEX with approvals for the U.S., Canada, Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Brazil. Built-in force sensing lets it work safely alongside your team in spray environments.
How is this different from traditional paint robots?
Traditional paint robots need specialists, complex programming, dedicated paint cells, and large footprints. The Cobot Painter is lightweight, portable, and taught through the Beacon app. Roll it into an existing manual booth or onto a line, with no new construction or infrastructure.
How long does setup take?
Most shops are painting the same day. Set spray paths quickly, adjust coverage and patterns on the fly, and reposition the portable stand wherever it's needed.
Can it reach large or complex parts?
Yes. With a 55.8" (1,418 mm) reach and a unique underflip motion, it accesses large workpieces and difficult spray angles that pose ergonomic challenges for human operators.
