What can the DOBOT CR16A handle in terms of weight and reach?

The DOBOT CR16A lifts a maximum payload of 16 kg and extends to a reach of 1000 mm, making it suitable for heavy-duty palletizing, material handling, and assembly tasks where smaller cobots fall short.

Is the DOBOT CR16A accurate enough for precision work?

The CR16A maintains a repeatability of plus or minus 0.03 mm, which makes it precise enough for assembly and inspection operations requiring tight tolerances.

Can the DOBOT CR16A work in dusty or wet factory environments?

Yes, the CR16A has an IP54 rating that protects it against dust and water ingress, allowing safe operation in typical industrial environments.

How does the DOBOT CR16A connect to factory equipment and control systems?

The CR16A integrates with industrial systems through DobotStudio, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, and ROS, making it compatible with a wide range of PLCs and HMIs.

What makes the DOBOT CR16A faster than older CR models?

The CR16A uses harmonic drive reducers that deliver a 25% cycle time improvement over prior CR models, speeding up material handling and palletizing operations.

Can operators with no robotics experience program the DOBOT CR16A?

Yes, the CR16A features a graphical drag-to-teach interface and intuitive six-axis programming that works for both expert technicians and operators with minimal robotics experience.

Six-axis collaborative robot arm with 16 kg payload capacity and 1000 mm reach, delivering ±0.03 mm repeatability for precision automation. IP54-rated for industrial environments, it supports multiple communication protocols including Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and PROFINET. Ideal for assembly, palletizing, machine tending, and material handling tasks where human-robot collaboration is required.

Product Overview:

The DOBOT CR16A is an industrial collaborative robot arm with six articulated axes designed for heavy-duty manufacturing, research, and automation applications. Engineered for use alongside human operators in industrial settings, the CR16A offers high payload capacity and seamless integration with modern control systems.

Key Specifications:

Payload: 16 kg maximum
Reach: 1,000 mm
Weight: 38 kg (heavier than typical small-payload cobots, providing robust stability for heavier loads)
Repeatability: ±0.03 mm
Protection: IP54 rating resists dust and water ingress
Degrees of Freedom: Six

Cobot with 16 kg payload versus lighter collaborative robots or traditional fixed automation:

The CR16A bridges the gap between small-payload cobots and heavy fixed gantries. Choose it when you need a collaborative robot that can handle substantial parts without sacrificing flexibility or ease of programming.

For palletizing or material handling of 10 to 16 kg parts, the 16 kg payload eliminates the need for a larger fixed system or multiple smaller robots on one cell.
On shared manufacturing lines where space is tight, the 1000 mm reach and six-axis arm fit into compact footprints while covering multiple workstations without repositioning.
For assembly or inspection tasks demanding tight tolerances, the ±0.03 mm repeatability delivers precision without operator intervention or manual fixturing.
In dusty or wet production environments, the IP54 rating keeps the robot operational where lighter cobots would require frequent maintenance or barriers.
On lines needing rapid program changes, the graphical drag-to-teach interface lets operators retool for new part geometries in minutes, not hours.
