FANUC America debuts Cobot and Go booth with rapid-deployment automation at Automate 2026

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., May 27, 2026. FANUC America debuted a dedicated Cobot and Go booth (#1001) at Automate 2026, running June 22 to 26 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The booth features pre-engineered collaborative robot systems built for rapid deployment and developed with leading system integrators and distributors.

The idea is to lower the barrier to automation. Many manufacturers want to automate but hesitate to take on complex, fixed systems, so FANUC is showing collaborative, out-of-the-box solutions that arrive on mobile carts and set up quickly on the shop floor.

What is in the booth

• Dispense Buddy (Mission Design and Automation)
• TOMA palletizing solution (Premier Tech)
• EZPainter (Robotic Technical Support Services)
• ATLIS AI Track and Inspect (Genuine Cable Group)
• CNC machine-tending drawer system (Vention)
• Cooper ADAPT welding cobot (Lincoln Electric)
• Pick and Bag cobot cart (CMES Robotics)
• Maverick depalletizing cell (AMT)

The systems are built on FANUC CRX collaborative robots (CRX-5iA, CRX-10iA, CRX-20iA/L, and CRX-30iA) and share mobile cart-based deployment, drag-and-drop programming, AI vision integration, standard power specifications, and integrated air systems.

Many manufacturers want to automate but are hesitant to take on complex, fixed systems. The Cobot and Go approach shows how collaborative out-of-the-box robot solutions can make automation more accessible, scalable and achievable on the shop floor., Simon Kenworthy, General Manager, Authorized System Integrator Sales, FANUC America
