4D Technology has been officially approved as a FANUC collaborative robot (cobot) device supplier, alongside the launch of a new certified plug-in. This integration with FANUC CRX cobots enables seamless, high-resolution automated inspection for aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing industries.

Onto Innovation’s 4D Technology Approved as FANUC Cobot Device Supplier
Launch of New Integration Plug-In with FANUC CRX Collaborative Robots
Tucson, AZ – September 4, 2025 – Onto Innovation, via its Tucson-based subsidiary 4D Technology, is proud to announce that it has been officially approved as a FANUC collaborative robot (cobot) device supplier.
This approval coincides with the launch of a FANUC-certified plug-in enabling seamless integration between the 4Di InSpec™ Optical Surface Gauge and FANUC’s CRX cobots, providing streamlined automated inspection for high-precision manufacturing.
Key benefits include:
- Patented vibration-immune technology for automated, high-resolution measurements
- 3D, non-contact inspection of dozens to hundreds of edge break features, chamfers, radii, and defects in minutes rather than days
- Easily automate 4D InSpec measurements
- Plug and play compatibility with the 4D InSpec and 4D InSpec XL gauges
- Integration with all Fanuc CRX collaborative robots
- Simplified automation of surface inspection workflows
“By connecting precision inspection with collaborative robotics, we’re enabling smarter, faster, and more reliable quality control across high-performance industries,”
said Mayson Brooks, General Manager of 4D Technology.
This milestone strengthens the collaboration between 4D Technology and FANUC, empowering manufacturers in aerospace, aviation, medical devices, and precision machining to achieve next-level inspection throughput and quality.
