Product description
Dobot CRA Series: High-performance cobots for the next generation of industrial automation
The Dobot CRA series sets new standards in flexible manufacturing, offering both medium-sized and large enterprises the ideal solution for complex automation tasks. With payloads ranging from 3 kg to 20 kg and reach of up to 1700 mm, the model series covers over 15 industrial applications—from precise pick-and-place and screw driving to professional welding and palletizing. Thanks to the combination of extremely high movement speed, millisecond response time, and intuitive no-code programming, these cobots can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines without the need for costly safety fencing. Discover the perfect balance of maximum productivity, ultimate precision, and unparalleled safety.
Highlights of the CRA standard series
- Leading motion performance: With a joint speed of up to 223°/s and the fast EtherCAT bus, these cobots achieve up to 25% higher efficiency in material handling processes.
- Laser-calibrated precision: Excellent repeatability of up to ±0.02 mm and absolute positioning accuracy of less than 0.4 mm guarantee consistent top quality.
- Comprehensive range of interfaces: Equipped with 24 digital inputs and outputs (PNP/NPN) as well as native support for Modbus TCP/RTU, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET.
- Safe operation without enclosures: An independent PLd Cat3 safety controller with over 20 safety functions and an electromagnetic quick-stop brake (stop time < 18 ms) ensures maximum workplace safety.
- Intelligent DobotStudio Pro: Enables effortless entry via Blockly visual programming (learnable in 45 minutes) as well as sophisticated LUA scripting for professionals.
Highlights of the CRAS extension (SafeSkin technology)
- Non-contact collision avoidance: The innovative Dobot SafeSkin capacitively detects obstacles at a distance of up to 15 cm and stops the robot proactively before physical contact.
- Four times the collaboration speed: Allows for safe human-robot interaction in close proximity at up to 1.0 m/s—significantly faster than conventional force-torque-only systems.
- Resource-saving workflow: Once the obstacle is cleared, the CRAS cobot automatically resumes its movement without the need for a manual reset stop.
- Robust sensor technology: Responds reliably and independently of clothing, handbags, or protective gloves within the entire 360° environment.
