Compact cobot for tight workspaces

DOBOT CR3A and CR3AS are compact 6-axis cobots that can be perfectly integrated into confined workspaces thanks to their 620 mm reach and 3 kg payload – for example at assembly stations, test benches, laboratory tables, or in electronics manufacturing. Both models cover typical tasks such as pick-and-place, screwdriving, handling of small components, gluing, and simple palletizing, making them an ideal entry point into collaborative industrial robots.

Maximum safety through SafeSkin & integrated protective functions

The CR-A and CRS series offer extensive safety features such as safety zones, virtual walls, load monitoring, and fast safety brakes. The DOBOT CR3AS goes one step further with SafeSkin: obstacles are detected from a distance of just a few centimeters, the robot is automatically slowed down or stopped, and true human-robot collaboration in the same workspace is made possible—without a traditional safety fence.

Easy integration into existing systems & controls

Both cobots can be integrated into PLC environments, line controllers, and IT systems via common interfaces such as TCP/IP, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and RS485. Numerous digital and analog inputs/outputs on the robot and controller allow for the direct connection of grippers, suction cups, sensors, or vision systems – ideal for scalable automation cells that can be expanded step by step.

Scalable Dobot platform from education to industry

CR3A and CR3AS are part of the larger DOBOT CR and CRS series and are therefore compatible with accessories such as grippers, vision kits, linear rails, and software tools. Companies can start with a single cobot and later expand the same platform to include more robots, additional axes, or complete production cells – all the way up to complex palletizing, assembly, or testing applications.

DOBOT CR3A & CR3AS: compact collaborative industrial robots for modern manufacturing

With the collaborative robots DOBOT CR3A and DOBOT CR3AS, companies are addressing the increasing demand for flexible, easily integrated industrial robots for assembly, handling, and logistics. Both cobots offer a 3 kg payload, a working radius of 620 mm, and a repeatability of ±0.02 mm – ideal for precise pick-and-place tasks, loading assembly lines, or automated quality control.

As compact 6-axis robot arms, the CR3A and CR3AS can be installed on tables, workbenches, machines, or in cells without occupying much space. Companies can start with a single collaborative robot and later expand the Dobot platform with additional cobots, peripherals, and software – from simple handling tasks to complex industrial robot solutions for production, warehousing, and intralogistics.

SafeSkin in the CR3AS: maximum safety for human-robot collaboration

The essential difference between the DOBOT CR3A and CR3AS lies in the SafeSkin technology. While the CR3A operates as a classic cobot with the extensive safety functions of the CR-A series, the CR3AS additionally integrates an intelligent silicone skin with pre-collision detection. SafeSkin monitors the space around the robot, detects conductive objects – especially humans – at a distance of just a few centimeters, and triggers a speed reduction or a stop within milliseconds.

For companies, this means true human-robot collaboration in the same workspace without necessarily relying on classic safety fences. Typical application scenarios include collaborative assembly stations, loading test benches, flexible picking stations in e-commerce, or cobots and workers performing tasks together on a line. The CR3AS is particularly suitable for industries with high safety requirements, such as medical technology, electronics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, laboratory automation, or precision mechanics.

Flexibly deployable cobots for assembly, pick-and-place, and logistics

The DOBOT CR3A and CR3AS models are designed to automate recurring manual activities and relieve employees of monotonous tasks. Typical applications include:

  • Pick-and-place of small parts from KLT containers, trays, or conveyor lines
  • Assembly support activities such as screwing, inserting, and joining
  • Gluing, dispensing, and sealing of components
  • Packaging, labeling, and carton handling
  • Quality control with camera or sensor integration
  • Loading of test benches, measuring stations, or small machines

Thanks to their high repeatability and IP54 protection, the CR3A and CR3AS can be used reliably in industrial environments – from electronics assembly to precision mechanical assembly manufacturing. Through suitable grippers, suction cups, or vision systems, the collaborative robot becomes an individual workstation for manufacturing, laboratories, or logistics.

Simple integration thanks to open interfaces and DobotStudio Pro

A key argument for the DOBOT CR3A and CR3AS cobots is their easy integration into existing systems and IT structures. Via TCP/IP, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and RS485, the cobots can be connected to PLC systems, SCADA solutions, and MES/ERP environments. Numerous digital and analog I/Os on the robot and in the controller allow for the direct control of grippers, valves, sensors, or conveyor lines.

With the DobotStudio Pro software, various programming levels are available: drag-and-drop flows for simple sequences, graphical workflows for commissioning and tests, script environments, and APIs for integrators and software teams. This allows both beginners and experienced automation experts to quickly put the CR3A or CR3AS into operation. In combination with digital twins, simulation, and templates for standard applications, new projects can be implemented significantly faster.

Scalable Dobot platform: from a single station to a robotics fleet

Another advantage of the Dobot CR and CRS series is scalability. Those who start with a single CR3A or CR3AS can later expand the same platform via:

  • additional cobots (e.g., CR5A/CR7A for higher payloads)
  • peripherals such as linear rails, palletizing stations, or vision kits
  • complementary robotics solutions such as mobile industrial robots or service robots

into complete automation solutions. This creates networked robot cells for production, warehousing, laboratories, or e-commerce that grow with demand. In conjunction with service robots, cleaning robots, or humanoid robots, end-to-end scenarios can be built – from automated manufacturing and internal transport to robot-assisted inspection and cleaning.

Plan, buy, or rent the DOBOT CR3A & CR3AS with Terra Robotics

For many companies, implementation is just as crucial as the robotics hardware itself. A partner like Terra Robotics supports the selection of the appropriate cobot variant (CR3A or CR3AS), the layout of the application area, the choice of grippers and accessories, the integration into existing systems, as well as training and service. Through models such as purchase, leasing, or Robot-as-a-Service, the CR3A and CR3AS can be flexibly integrated into investment and operating cost structures.

Companies already working with service robots, cleaning robots, or mobile industrial robots can use collaborative robots like the DOBOT CR3A/CR3AS to further automate production and logistics processes. Typical combinations include, for example, industrial robots for assembly and picking, service robots for in-house transport, and cleaning robots for halls and traffic areas. This creates a fully automated environment where humans, cobots, and mobile robots work together.
