OVERVIEW
The Dobot CR5A, part of Dobot's CRA series, is a collaborative robot with 5 kg payload, and 900 mm reach.
Designed for industry/lab applications, the 6-axis CR5A is a 25 kg device with a small footprint of only 141 mm, saving valuable space in production lines and lab environment, while remaining safe to deploy alongside humans. It is built to deliver a high joint speed while delivering 0.02 mm precision, and comes with 5-level adjustable collision detection, 22 built-in safety functions, making it a safe cobot option for fast-speed and small environments.
HOW DOES DOBOT CR5A (& CRA SERIES) WORK?
APPLICATIONS OF DOBOT CR5A:
Pick & place / packaging: Sorting, kitting, and end-of-line packaging
Assembly & screwdriving: Precise fastening and component placement
Machine tending: Loading and unloading CNC and other equipment
Soldering & dispensing: Consistent, repeatable process paths
Welding: Light welding tasks in automotive and metal processing
Palletizing: Case handling and palletizing in logistics settings
Lab & research automation: A full-size industrial-class cobot suited to robotics research, motion-planning studies, and higher-education labs
DOBOT CR5A FEATURES
- Higher payload, the same small footprint: 5 kg payload and 900 mm reach in a 25 kg body, giving more reach and carrying capacity than the CR3A while staying easy to deploy in tight or shared workspaces with almost the same footprint
- High Precision with Fast Movements: ±0.02 mm repeatability, a max TCP speed of 2 m/s, and 180°/s to 228 °/s joint movements. Suitable for demanding assembly and handling work
- Easy Programming, Multiple Ways In: Drag-to-teach, Blockly block programming, DobotStudio Pro graphical interface, , Lua scripting, Python SDK, in addition to control from PC, tablet, or smartphone
- Built For Integration: supports EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and Wi Fi, with an intelligent interaction panel and dual-channel end-effector design that connects directly to multiple end tools
- Safe Robot-Human Collaboration: 22 built-in safety functions including 5-level adjustable collision detection, designed for safe human-robot collaboration
- Fast deployment: roughly 20 minutes to install and typically operational within an hour
- 1-Year InDro Warranty & Support
DOBOT CR5A VARIATIONS:
The Dobot CR5A has 4 different versions:
- Dobot CR5A - The main version
- Dobot CR5AP (CR5A-IP68): built for harsh environments with dust, humidity, water mist, or oil contamination, extending the CRA series beyond the standard IP54 rating for washdown or heavy-contamination settings.
- Dobot CR5AF (Force-Controlled model): adds a high-precision integrated 6-axis force sensor at the flange, enabling compliant force control for tasks like grinding, polishing, and precision or medical assembly. It holds constant contact force for surface-tracking work and detects collisions as small as 1 N. Ideal where the CR5A's standard position control isn't enough.
- Dobot CR5AS (SafeSkin model) - add Dobot's SafeSkin contactless collision-detection technology, sensing obstacles within a 15 cm radius so the robot can slow or stop before contact. This allows faster operation in close human proximity without sacrificing safety, and it works reliably even with gloves or fabric in the way.
