What is the reach and payload of the Dobot CR20A?

The Dobot CR20A has a 1700mm reach and 20kg payload capacity, making it suitable for large-scale manufacturing tasks including heavy component handling, palletizing, and machine tending. The 1700mm reach allows access to distant work areas while maintaining the 20kg load rating across all positions.

How accurate is the CR20A cobot?

The Dobot CR20A delivers plus or minus 0.05mm repeatability across its six axes, enabling precise pick-and-place and inspection work. This level of precision is suitable for demanding material handling and assembly applications requiring consistent accuracy.

Can the Dobot CR20A work safely around humans?

Yes, the CR20A is designed for safe human-robot collaboration with electromagnetic brakes and real-time payload detection to prevent unexpected motion and overload conditions. The IP54 dust and water resistance also makes it suitable for shared factory floor environments.

What software does the Dobot CR20A use?

The CR20A integrates with DobotStudio Pro for graphical programming, scripting, and drag-and-teach operation, and supports DobotLink for monitoring and management. It also communicates with industrial systems via Modbus, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and ROS protocols.

How heavy is the Dobot CR20A and where can it be installed?

The CR20A weighs 73kg and is IP54-rated for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for installation in demanding factory environments. Its collaborative design and compact footprint allow flexible mounting in manufacturing cells, assembly lines, and material handling stations.

Is the CR20A faster than earlier Dobot models?

The CR20A delivers 25% faster cycle times compared to the older CR and CR_V2 models, improving throughput for high-volume production and material handling tasks. This speed improvement is combined with the larger 1700mm reach and 20kg payload of the CRA series.

Collaborative robot vs traditional industrial arm:

The CR20A combines heavy payload capacity with built-in safety for shared workspaces. Choose this over fixed industrial arms when you need 20kg lift across a large 1700mm work area while operating near staff without complex guarding.

For palletising or machine tending in tight cells, the 1700mm reach eliminates repositioning and the 20kg payload handles full bins or engine blocks without multiple trips.
On mixed-model lines where staff reprogram tasks daily, DobotStudio drag-to-teach cuts training time versus traditional teach pendants.
In dusty or wet factory floors, IP54 rating runs reliably where sealed-only arms need climate control booths.
For inspection or pick-and-place on automotive sub-assemblies, ±0.05mm repeatability meets tolerance stacks that lighter cobots cannot hold.
When upgrading from smaller arms, the CR20A's 25% faster cycle time than earlier CR models pays back the investment on high-volume runs.
