What makes it work
DOBOT CR5A
A versatile 6-axis collaborative robot delivering extended reach, greater payload, and industrial-grade safety for demanding production environments.
Safe, Flexible and Self-Learning Collaborative Robot
Building upon the proven safety, efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use of the CRA series, the DOBOT CR5A breaks through the payload limit to 5 kg, opening a wider range of applications for collaborative robots in real-world industrial environments. With an extended working radius of 900 mm and a maximum linear speed of 2 m/s, the CR5A is engineered to meet the demands of heavy-duty picking, packing, palletizing, and welding across the automotive, home appliance, logistics, and metalworking industries. An industry-first dual-channel end effector design simplifies tool connections, while an advanced motion control algorithm reduces residual vibration by 50% during high-speed emergency stops — keeping operations smooth and precise. The CR5A supports Profinet and Ethernet/IP communication protocols, connects seamlessly with PLC systems, and provides 24 digital IO ports with both PNP and NPN switching. With IP54 protection on both the robot body and the control box, and innovative electromagnetic brake technology, the CR5A is built for reliable, safe collaboration in demanding production settings.
Built Around Four Principles
Engineered for the Modern Factory Floor
User-Friendly Design for Faster Deployment
The CR5A introduces an industry-first dual-channel end effector design, allowing direct connection to multiple end tools without complex adapters or custom wiring. A visual status indicator at the base provides immediate, intuitive recognition of the robot's operating state — reducing setup time and operator errors. With an extended working radius of 900 mm and a payload of 5 kg, the CR5A fits naturally into medium-scale workcells while handling the material weights common in light-to-medium industrial production.
Advanced Motion Control for Stable, High-Speed Operation
Powered by an advanced motion control algorithm, the CR5A operates with exceptional smoothness across its full working envelope. Residual vibrations during high-speed emergency stops are reduced by 50%, protecting both workpieces and surrounding equipment. A maximum linear speed of 2 m/s keeps cycle times competitive while ±0.02 mm repeatability ensures part-level precision on every pass — pushing throughput without sacrificing the quality your production demands.
24 IO Ports and Industrial-Grade Communication
The CR5A ships with 24 digital IO ports and industry-leading support for both PNP and NPN switching, enabling wide-ranging peripheral integration from grippers to sensors. Profinet and Ethernet/IP protocol support allows the robot to connect directly to existing PLC infrastructure without custom middleware. Two analog inputs, two digital outputs, and two digital inputs at the end effector are multiplexed with RS485 — covering virtually any automation architecture from standalone workcells to full production line integration.
High Protection Level for Safer Collaboration
Both the robot body and the control box achieve IP54 protection, guarding against dust and liquid ingress in typical manufacturing environments. When overloaded, the robot automatically triggers an alarm to prevent mechanical damage. The innovative electromagnetic brake protection reduces end-tool drop distance in the event of a power failure — a critical safety feature when operating near personnel or delicate workpieces. These protections make the CR5A a trusted partner for shared workspace applications where safety cannot be a compromise.

Common Questions About the CR5A
What is the maximum payload and working radius of the DOBOT CR5A?
The DOBOT CR5A supports a maximum payload of 5 kg and has a working radius of 900 mm. This combination makes it well-suited for medium-duty pick-and-place, assembly, palletizing, welding, and loading tasks where a wider reach is required in production environments.
What is the difference between the CR5A and the CR3A?
The CR5A offers a higher payload capacity of 5 kg versus 3 kg on the CR3A, and a wider working radius of 900 mm versus 620 mm. The CR5A also draws 150 W of power compared to the CR3A's 120 W, and weighs 25 kg versus 16.5 kg. Both share the same ±0.02 mm repeatability, IP54 protection, and communication protocols.
Which communication protocols does the CR5A support?
The CR5A supports Profinet and Ethernet/IP communication protocols, enabling direct connection to most industrial PLCs and automation controllers without additional middleware. It also provides 24 digital IO ports with support for both PNP and NPN switching for broad peripheral compatibility.
Can the CR5A be mounted in different orientations?
Yes. The DOBOT CR5A supports installation at any angle — including floor, ceiling, wall, and inclined positions — without requiring additional mounting hardware or configuration changes. This allows it to integrate into a wide variety of workcell designs and overhead gantry configurations.
What safety features are built into the CR5A?
The CR5A includes an automatic overload alarm that triggers when excessive load is detected, an electromagnetic brake protection system that limits end-tool drop distance at power failure, and an advanced motion control algorithm that reduces residual vibration by 50% during high-speed emergency stops — making it a robust choice for human-robot collaborative environments.
