Fairino Cobot (FR3-C)
On a mobile platform, a crowded workbench or a test fixture with little room to spare, the robot arm is often the heaviest constraint in the cell. Every kilogram of arm is a kilogram that the cart, the table or the battery has to carry, and every millimetre of base is space taken away from the process itself. The Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) addresses that problem from the structure outwards. It is a 6-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot designed for industrial automation environments that require compact integration and reduced system weight, combining a 3 kg payload and a 622 mm reach with a 125 mm footprint and a mass of approximately 10 kg.
Robots Europa supplies the FR3-C from Dublin to customers across the European Union and the DACH region. We prepare your quotation, arrange delivery to your site and remain your point of contact for technical questions once the arm is in service, so that the specification you plan around and the robot you receive are aligned from the outset.
Background
FAIRINO and its collaborative robot family
The Fairino range offered by Robots Europa runs from the compact FR3 series through the FR5, FR10, FR16, FR20 and FR30 models, giving integrators one family of collaborative arms across very different cell sizes and tasks. Working within a single family has practical advantages for a production engineer: once a team has commissioned one arm, the next project tends to start from familiar ground rather than from a blank page.
The FR3 series is itself not a single product. The sources name the FR3, the FR3-C, the FR3-WMS and the FR3-WML as variants of the same small collaborative arm, each tailored to a different integration brief. Collaborative robots of this class are intended to work in shared spaces and to be redeployed as tasks change, which is why compactness and low mass are design goals in their own right rather than incidental properties.
A lighter structure and a modified wrist
Within the FR3 series, the FR3-C distinguishes itself through a lighter mechanical structure and modified wrist articulation. The arm is built from aluminium and steel, and its six rotating joints give it the freedom to approach a part from the angle the process demands rather than the angle the robot prefers.
The wrist is where the modification shows. Wrist2 covers a working range of 0°–355° at ±180°/s, while Wrist3 turns through ±175° at ±180°/s. The base joint covers ±175° at ±150°/s. For the integrator, the combination of a reduced arm mass and a reworked wrist means a robot that is easier to carry on a moving platform and easier to fit into a cell where the tool must reach awkward orientations close to the base.

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.
The manufacturer has not published the controller model, the communication protocols, the programming software, the safety certifications, the permitted mounting orientations, the maximum payload, the cable length, the elbow and shoulder joint ranges or the contents of the box; Robots Europa confirms each of these with your quotation.
What makes the FR3-C different from the standard FR3?
Both arms belong to the same series and address the same small-payload class, so the question is less about capability and more about priorities. The FR3-C is the variant built around weight and integration: its mechanical structure is lighter, and its wrist articulation has been modified. Where the standard Fairino Cobot (FR3) is the natural reference point for the series, the FR3-C is the one to consider when the arm must sit on something that moves, on a bench that cannot take a heavy load, or inside equipment where the mass of the robot affects the design of everything around it.
The modified wrist matters for a different reason. Tool orientation close to the arm is often what decides whether a compact cell works at all, and the FR3-C's Wrist2 range of 0°–355° is part of what that redesign delivers. We recommend comparing the two datasheets side by side before committing to either arm.
Which FR3-C edition suits your environment?
The FR3-C is available in IP54, IP65 and Black editions. The IP54 classification is the one listed in the specification above and covers the typical indoor production hall, laboratory or workshop, within the stated operating temperature of 0–45°C and humidity of 90% RH (non-condensing). The IP65 edition is the one to discuss where the arm will face a higher degree of dust or water exposure than an IP54 rating is intended for. The Black edition suits buyers who need the arm to match the appearance of a machine or a visible installation. Whichever edition you select, please name it in your enquiry so that the quotation reflects the exact build.
Who is the Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) for?
The FR3-C is aimed first at integrators of mobile manipulators. When an arm rides on an autonomous mobile robot or a manually moved cart, a low arm mass and a small base are not refinements but preconditions, and that is precisely the brief this variant was designed around.
It is equally suited to manufacturers automating light, repetitive bench work: electronics handling, small-part assembly and fixture loading, where the ±0.05 mm pose repeatability and the compact footprint allow the arm to share a workstation with existing equipment. Laboratories, test departments and universities form a third group, since a quiet arm with noise below 65 dB and a modest typical average power of 200 W fits comfortably into rooms that were never designed for industrial machinery.
Where the part and gripper together exceed the FR3-C's 3 kg payload, or the task needs a longer reach, the other arms in the family, such as the Fairino FR5 Collaborative Robot (Cobot), are the models to compare. The full overview of collaborative arms is available in our Cobots category.
What is the Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) used for?
- Mobile manipulation: mounted on a cart or mobile platform, where a lighter arm leaves more capacity for the vehicle and its load.
- Benchtop pick and place: moving small components between trays, feeders and fixtures on a standard workbench.
- Light assembly: inserting, placing and fastening small parts where accuracy matters more than force.
- Testing and inspection: presenting parts to cameras, gauges or test heads with consistent, repeatable positioning.
- Laboratory automation: handling samples, vials and consumables in quiet, space-limited lab environments.
- Education and research: teaching robot programming and developing new cell concepts on a compact, manageable arm.

Summary
The weight and size of a robot arm decide where it can go, and the Fairino Cobot (FR3-C) is built so that those limits move further out. A lighter mechanical structure, a modified wrist, a 125 mm footprint and a mass of approximately 10 kg make it the FR3 variant for mobile platforms, crowded benches and integrated equipment, while the 3 kg payload, 622 mm reach and ±0.05 mm repeatability keep it suitable for precise, light handling. With IP54, IP65 and Black editions to choose from, and Robots Europa handling quotation, delivery and support across the EU and the DACH region, specifying your FR3-C is straightforward: this page is the starting point.
