Fairino Cobot (FR3-C)
Some robot arms win a place in a cell by what they can lift. The Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) wins its place by what it asks of everything around it: a small base, a light structure and a wrist reworked for close-in movement. For a workshop, a laboratory bench or a mobile machine where every kilogram and every centimeter is already spoken for, that trade matters more than a long list of headline numbers.
The product is available through this page, by quotation.
Background
Fairino and the FR3 family
Fairino builds collaborative robots in a range of sizes, and the FR3-C belongs to the smallest-payload group of that range. Within the FR3 series, the FR3-C distinguishes itself through a lighter mechanical structure and modified wrist articulation. The series is also offered as the FR3, FR3-WMS and FR3-WML, so a buyer can choose the arm that suits the application rather than bending the application around a single configuration.
Fairino arms of larger capacity sit alongside it, and buyers who outgrow this class can look at the Fairino FR5 Collaborative Robot (Cobot) or the Fairino FR10 Collaborative Robot (Cobot). The full range is gathered on the Fairino page, and comparable arms from other makers appear in the Cobots category.
Positioning and key design choices
The Fairino FR3-C is a 6-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot designed for industrial automation environments requiring compact integration and reduced system weight. Its six rotating joints give it the freedom to approach a workpiece from many angles, while the footprint and the arm mass keep it easy to place on a bench, a stand or a carrier.
The body is built from aluminium and steel, a pairing familiar in this class: aluminium keeps the moving structure light, and steel adds strength where it is needed. The FR3-C is offered in IP54, IP65 and Black editions, so the finish and the level of protection can be matched to the surroundings where the arm will work.

What makes the FR3-C different from the FR3?
The two arms share a series name and the same small-payload class, and the difference lies in the build. The FR3-C has a lighter mechanical structure and a modified wrist articulation. In practice, a lighter structure means less mass for a stand, a cart or a mounting plate to carry, and less inertia for the arm itself to manage as it moves.
The wrist is where the second difference shows. On the FR3-C, Wrist2 works across 0°–355° at ±180°/s, and Wrist3 covers ±175° at ±180°/s. Those are the joints that turn a tool toward a part, so their range and speed shape how comfortably the arm handles tight, close-in work such as presenting a part to a fixture or driving a fastener at an angle.
Buyers who want the standard arrangement of the series can read about the Fairino Cobot (FR3) and compare. We keep figures with their own version, so please do not read the numbers in this article as figures for any sibling model.
How much movement does the FR3-C offer at the base and wrist?
The base joint turns ±175° at ±150°/s, which lets the arm sweep across a bench or a fixture without needing to be repositioned. Together with the 622 mm reach, that defines the working envelope around the 125 mm footprint.
At the tool, the maximum TCP speed is 1 m/s and pose repeatability is ±0.05 mm under ISO 9283. That combination suits repeatable, careful handling of light parts rather than heavy, high-force work. If your layout depends on the exact shoulder and elbow movement, please raise it with us before the cell is designed.
Who is the Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) for?
The FR3-C suits integrators and workshop owners who have limited space and a light task. Typical examples are light assembly, small-part handling, test and inspection stations, and laboratory benches, where the arm has to sit close to the work and stay out of the way of people.
It also fits machine builders who wish to put an arm on a stand or carrier and cannot spare much weight. With a payload of 3 kg and an arm weight of approximately 10 kg, it is a measured choice for such builders.
Where the tools or workpieces are heavier, or the reach needs to be longer, a larger Fairino arm will serve better; the FR5 and FR10 mentioned above are the places to start. Buyers who want the standard version of this series should look at the FR3 linked earlier.
What is the Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) used for?
- Light assembly. Placing and fitting small components at a bench where a person works nearby.
- Pick and place. Moving light parts between trays, fixtures and conveyors within a short reach.
- Machine tending. Loading and unloading small parts at compact machines with limited space around them.
- Testing and inspection. Presenting parts to sensors, cameras or test fixtures with repeatable positioning.
- Laboratory handling. Moving samples and small items where a quiet arm suits a shared room.
- Mounted on mobile equipment. Carrying a light arm on a cart or carrier where weight is limited.

Summary
The Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) is a small arm that is easiest to judge by what it leaves free: space on the bench, load on the carrier and attention at the wrist. It offers six rotating joints, a 622 mm reach, ±0.05 mm repeatability and a 3 kg payload in a body of approximately 10 kg. For buyers whose task is light and whose room is tight, it is a sensible fit. If that describes your project, this page is the starting point.
