For FANUC CRX teams

Build any operator screen for a FANUC CRX robot — right on the tablet.

HMI Forge is a touch-first authoring tool for custom operator HMIs that run directly on FANUC CRX controllers. No PC, no VS Code, no ROBOGUIDE required. Drag controls, bind them to live robot I/O, and deploy on the tablet itself.

  • Built for FANUC CRX tablets
  • Runs directly on the tablet
  • No other dependencies

Design, bind, deploy — without leaving the robot.

1

Design on the tablet

Touch-first drag, drop, marquee, and resize, built for the CRX tablet with no keyboard or mouse. Prefer a desk? Mock it up in ROBOGUIDE and import over USB instead. Your call.

2

Bind to live robot I/O

Wire controls to real FANUC signals (DI/DO, registers, position, system variables) with {tag} interpolation, expressions, and alarms. Preview against live or simulated values.

3

Deploy on the controller

The HMI is saved to the controller and runs on the tablet. Move documents, themes, and images between cells and/or ROBOGUIDE via USB. No network required.

A real authoring tool, not a template picker.

A flexible control set

Twelve composable control types you drag, drop, and bind to live robot I/O: from buttons and indicators to live trend charts and a one-drop Start/Hold/Reset/Abort program-control composite. The full set:

Button Indicator Gauge Label Image Dropdown Number input Slider Position display Trend chart Alarm banner Program control
An HMI Forge operator screen with gauges, a trend chart, indicators, and an alarm banner, on a FANUC CRX tablet

Multi-screen authoring

Multiple screens and documents, undo/redo, copy/paste, multi-select with alignment & distribution, layers, and a validation panel that catches broken tags and references.

Live robot binding

DI/DO, RI/RO, AI/AO, GI/GO, flags, registers, string registers, system variables, and robot position, plus register-driven screen switching so a program can drive navigation.

Alarms

Tag-expression alarms with a severity-ranked banner and history overlay, integrated with the controller's own system alarms.

Theming

A token-based theme system with bundled presets and industrial pushbutton styles. Restyle a whole HMI without touching each control.

Built for offline

USB import/export for documents, themes, and tags, plus on-device diagnostic logs you can pull for support. Everything works with no internet.
