The CRA series, the new generation of collaborative robots, incorporates high-performance integrated joints, leading to a 25% increase in the cycle time and unprecedented efficiency. The new control cabinet and DobotStudio Pro system software ensures a comprehensive enhancement in safety, stability, and scalability, and improve human-machine collaboration to a whole new level.
Core Highlights
Full Industrial Cobot Range
The DOBOT CR Series includes 6-axis collaborative robot models with payloads from 3 kg to 16 kg and reaches from 620 mm to 1300 mm. The series is designed for applications such as assembly, handling, machine tending, packaging, inspection, and logistics automation.
Precision for Repetitive Industrial Tasks
CR3, CR5, CR5S, and CR16 offer ±0.02 mm repeatability, while CR10 provides ±0.03 mm repeatability. The series is suitable for automation tasks requiring repeatable positioning, path execution, and workstation consistency.
SafeSkin Pre-Collision Sensing Option
The supplied CR3AS, CR5AS, and CR10AS product pages present SafeSkin pre-collision sensing technology. This configuration is intended to detect potential obstacles before or during contact and provide additional sensing capability for collaborative applications.
Drag-to-Teach and Flexible Programming
The CR Series supports drag-to-teach programming, allowing users to manually guide the robot through key positions and motion paths. The supplied materials also list DobotStudio Pro, CRStudio App, Python, Lua, C++ SDK, and ROS compatibility for teaching, script control, and secondary development.
Industrial Communication and I/O Integration
The CR Series supports TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, and Wi-Fi communication. It provides 16 DI, 16 DO, an end-effector RS485 interface, and EtherCAT bus expansion support for integration with sensors, grippers, vision systems, conveyors, and other automation peripherals.

FAQ
Q1:What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is 1 unit. We support single-unit sampling for evaluation and testing, with no minimum for bulk orders. Samples are dispatched within 7–10 business days.
Q2:What certifications does the CR Series hold?
The CR Series holds CE (EU), ISO 13849 (functional safety), and ISO/TS 15066 (human-robot collaboration) certifications. An IP66-rated version (CR5S) is available for washdown environments. All units ship with full certification documentation.
Q3: What programming languages are supported?
The CR Series supports Python, Lua, C++, and ROS (Robot Operating System). Drag-to-teach visual programming via DobotStudio Pro requires no coding. Modbus TCP, TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, and EtherCAT interfaces are standard for PLC/SCADA integration.
Q4:What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Standard lead time is 15–25 business days for orders under 20 units. For orders above 20 units, lead time is 30–45 days depending on model mix. We maintain buffer stock of CR5 and CR10 for expedited orders.
Q5:Can the arm be ceiling or wall-mounted?
Yes. All CR Series models support 0°, 90°, 180°, and any-angle mounting including inverted ceiling mount, wall mount, and tabletop. The mounting adapter is included in the standard package.
