DOBOT CR12A Cobot, 12 kg, 1200 mm reach

Dobot Robotics

$39,900.00

6-axis collaborative robot with 12 kg payload and 1200 mm reach. Delivers ±0.03 mm repeatability for precision tasks like assembly, machine tending, and material handling. IP54-rated, 39.5 kg unit with dual-channel end effector interface, 24 digital IO ports, and support for Profinet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus, TCP/IP, and ROS protocols.

DOBOT CR12A Cobot for Heavy-Duty Industrial Automation:

The DOBOT CR12A is a 6 dof collaborative robot arm designed for industrial automation tasks requiring reliable handling of up to 12 kg with a 1,200 mm reach and 0.03 mm repeatability.

  • Payload: 12 kg
  • Maximum Reach: 1,200 mm
  • Repeatability: 0.03 mm
  • Weight: 39.5 kg

Key Capabilities:

DOBOT CR12A features stable motion and reduced vibration during high-speed stops, with IP54-rated protection for both robot body and control box. Automatic overload alarms and electromagnetic brake protection add robust safety for collaborative work environments. The visual status indicator at the base offers clear, real-time operational feedback.

Applications for the CR12A cobot robot include machine tending, palletising, packaging, assembly, and material handling where heavier parts and precision are mission-critical. Common sectors include automotive, logistics, home appliances, and metal processing.

Integration and Compatibility:

Protocol support includes Modbus, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and ROS, with native connections through 24 digital IO ports (PNP and NPN supported). DOBOT CR12A is programmable via DobotStudio and DobotLink for flexible deployment, rapid integration, and seamless operation within existing industrial PLC architectures. Its mountable, any-angle design provides installation flexibility across workspace constraints.

  • Pair with compatible grippers, vision cameras, and end effectors designed for the DOBOT CR series.
  • Compare to Dobot CR10A (10 kg / 1,300 mm) or Dobot CR16A (16 kg / 1,000 mm) to match payload and reach to your specific application requirements.

Value Proposition:

DOBOT CR12A delivers high precision and speed for boosting throughput and reducing manual rework in advanced manufacturing. Fast deployment and tool connectivity help organisations reduce labor costs and optimise production lines. The 12 kg payload and 1.2 m working envelope make the CR12A a cost-effective answer where lighter cobots lack the strength or reach.

The DOBOT CR12A reliably handles payloads up to 12 kg, making it suitable for heavy automation tasks like machine tending, palletising, and assembly where lighter cobots lack the strength.
The CR12A has a maximum reach of 1,200 mm with 0.03 mm repeatability, providing precision and a working envelope large enough for industrial assembly, packaging, and material handling applications.
The CR12A supports Modbus, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and ROS, plus 24 digital IO ports (PNP and NPN), enabling integration with existing industrial PLC architectures and flexible deployment.
Yes, the CR12A features IP54 protection on both the robot body and control box, shielding against shop floor dust and supporting operation in demanding industrial environments.
The CR12A is programmable via DobotStudio and DobotLink, allowing fast deployment with intuitive controls and seamless integration into existing production lines.
Yes, the CR12A features a mountable, any-angle design that provides installation flexibility across different workspace constraints and layout requirements.

Collaborative robot versus manual handling or fixed automation:

The DOBOT CR12A is a mid-range cobot that bridges the gap between lighter cobots and heavier fixed-axis arms. Choose it when you need a 12 kg payload with 1200 mm reach, precision to 0.03 mm, and the flexibility to reprogram for multiple tasks without dedicated tooling.

  • For parts between 8 and 12 kg on shared production cells, the CR12A handles weight that smaller cobots cannot while staying compact enough to work alongside operators.
  • In machine tending, palletising, or assembly lines where part geometry or tooling changes frequently, programmable control via DobotStudio and industrial protocols (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus) cuts redeployment time versus hardwired automation.
  • On dusty shop floors or high-vibration lines, IP54 protection and 50 percent vibration reduction during emergency stops maintain reliability and repeatability without frequent maintenance.
  • When emergency power loss is a safety concern, the electromagnetic brake holds the 12 kg payload in place, eliminating drift or drop hazards in collaborative work zones.
  • For fast integration into existing PLCs and production networks, 24 digital IO ports and multi-protocol support reduce wiring and custom interface engineering.
