Description
High Payload Without Unnecessary Reach
The DOBOT CR16A is designed for applications where payload matters more than having an exceptionally long reach.
With a substantial 16 kg payload combined with a 1,000 mm working radius, it provides manufacturers with significant lifting capability while maintaining a relatively compact working envelope.
That makes the CR16A particularly attractive for handling heavier components close to machinery, fixtures, conveyors or production equipment.
Take Repetitive Heavy Handling Away from Your Workforce
Many repetitive production processes don’t require an employee’s judgement or skill — they simply require someone to repeatedly lift, position, load or unload a component.
Where appropriate, the CR16A provides an opportunity to automate these repetitive processes and allow employees to concentrate on higher-value work.
Its higher payload also provides greater flexibility when selecting tooling. A robot’s rated payload needs to account for both the workpiece and the end-of-arm tooling, so having additional capacity can make a significant difference when designing a practical industrial automation solution.
Key Features
- 16 kg Maximum Payload – Substantial carrying capacity for heavier components and end-of-arm tooling.
- Compact 1,000 mm Working Radius – Excellent choice when high payload is required without unnecessary extended reach.
- ±0.03 mm Repeatability – Provides consistent repetitive positioning for industrial production.
- Up to 4 m/s Maximum Linear Speed – Strong movement performance for suitable applications.
- 6-Axis Movement – Allows the robot to manipulate workpieces and access machinery from multiple orientations.
- 40 kg Robot Weight – Impressive payload-to-robot-weight capability.
- IP54 Protection –Suitable for a broad range of industrial automation environments.
- Flexible Tooling – Can be configured with mechanical grippers, pneumatic grippers, vacuum tooling, vision and other end-of-arm equipment.
Ideal Applications
- Heavy machine tending
- CNC loading and unloading
- Material handling
- Component transfer
- Assembly
- Pick and place
- Packaging
- Production loading
- End-of-line handling
- Repetitive lifting
- Quality inspection
- Manufacturing automation
Why Choose the DOBOT CR16A?
The CR16A makes particular sense when your application requires high payload but not extreme reach.
Rather than buying a larger long-reach robot simply to achieve the necessary carrying capacity, the CR16A gives you a more targeted solution.
For manufacturers looking to automate heavier repetitive processes while maintaining control over capital expenditure, this makes the CR16A a very compelling performance-to-investment proposition.
Why Buy from Industrial Robotics?
Industrial Robotics can assess the combined weight of your component and tooling, required reach, cycle time and production process to determine whether the CR16A is the correct model.
We can then design and integrate the complete system including tooling, machine interfaces, vision, safety, programming, commissioning and training.
