OVERVIEW

The ABB GoFa 10 is a 6-axis collaborative robot designed for flexible industrial automation where longer reach, useful payload, high repeatability, and human-robot collaboration are important.

It combines a nominal 10 kg payload, 1.62 m TCP reach, up to 2 m/s speed, approximately 0.02 mm pose repeatability, integrated joint torque sensing, lead-through teaching, and ABB’s OmniCore and RobotStudio ecosystem.

GoFa 10 is best suited for palletizing, machine tending, assembly, screwdriving, welding, inspection, packaging, and material-handling cells that need more reach than a compact cobot.

Its extended reach, collaborative safety features, and ABB software ecosystem make it a strong option for higher-reach cobot applications that still require flexible deployment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the ABB GoFa 10 cost? +

The ABB GoFa 10 price is normally provided by quote rather than as one fixed worldwide retail price. The final cost depends on country, ABB channel partner, controller package, FlexPendant or operator interface, protection version, software options, delivery, warranty and support. A complete GoFa 10 project can also require a gripper, vacuum system, welding package, vision, mounting base, pedestal, safety equipment, cabling, training and systems integration. Those items can cost as much as, or more than, the robot arm itself.

Buyers should therefore distinguish the base robot price from the delivered and commissioned cell price. A low online figure may exclude the OmniCore controller, application tooling, installation or local support, while a higher quote may include engineering and production acceptance.

If you are buying for palletizing, machine tending, assembly, welding, packaging or inspection, the quote should be based on payload, reach, cycle time and safety requirements. You can request an ABB GoFa 10 quote through Anton Robots to compare the complete package before buying.

Where can I buy the ABB GoFa 10? +

You can buy or request the ABB GoFa 10 through Anton Robots. We help buyers compare ABB robot packages, check available suppliers, review what is included and decide whether the GoFa 10 is the correct payload and reach for the application. The robot is also sold through ABB and authorised robotics or automation partners. In most industrial purchases, the seller is not only supplying an arm; it may also configure the OmniCore controller, software, tooling, safety system, installation and support.

Before buying, confirm the exact model designation, nominal payload, 1.62 m reach, controller, protection rating, software licences, FlexPendant, cables, mounting, warranty and integration scope. Also verify whether the quote is for robot supply only or a complete working cell. For manufacturers, the safest buying decision is based on total deployed value, not the lowest arm price.

To start, request an ABB GoFa 10 quote and Anton Robots can help compare package, integration, delivery and support.

Where can I find an ABB GoFa 10 for sale? +

You can find the ABB GoFa 10 for sale through ABB, authorised automation distributors, robot integrators and specialist marketplaces such as Anton Robots. However, industrial robot listings can be difficult to compare because “GoFa 10” may refer to different controller, software, protection and accessory packages. Some offers include only the robot and controller. Others include the FlexPendant, mounting hardware, gripper, application kit, safety equipment, training or full integration. Used equipment may also have different operating hours, software versions, warranty status and documentation.

Before purchasing, ask for the complete model code, serial condition, payload and reach data, controller generation, included licences, protection class, delivery terms and support process. For a production project, confirm that the supplier has sized the robot against the combined weight and centre of gravity of the part, gripper and tooling.

If you are looking for a new or configured ABB GoFa 10 for sale, contact Anton Robots before placing an order.

Can I get a quote for the ABB GoFa 10? +

Yes. You can get a quote for the ABB GoFa 10 through Anton Robots. A useful quote should identify the exact GoFa 10 variant, robot arm, OmniCore controller, operator interface, software, cabling, mounting, protection option, freight, warranty and support. It should also explain whether the price includes an end effector, vision, safety devices, application engineering, installation, programming, commissioning, training and production acceptance.

These details matter because a base cobot cannot palletize, weld or tend a machine without the correct tooling and integration. Provide the supplier with part weight and dimensions, gripper weight, required reach, cycle time, process equipment, floor layout, power, communications and safety constraints. This allows the quote to be based on the real task rather than a generic robot price.

Anton Robots can help you compare the GoFa 10 against other cobots and prepare a package that fits your location and application.

What is included when you buy the ABB GoFa 10? +

A typical ABB GoFa 10 package may include the 6-axis robot arm, OmniCore controller, robot cables, documentation, RobotWare software and an operator interface such as the FlexPendant, depending on the supplier configuration. The exact package must be confirmed because ABB systems can be supplied with different controller, software, protection and application options. The robot normally needs additional equipment before it can perform useful work.

Before buying, ask whether the offer includes:

  • ABB GoFa 10 robot arm
  • OmniCore controller and required cabling
  • FlexPendant or selected operator interface
  • RobotWare, Wizard and RobotStudio access terms
  • Gripper, vacuum tool, welder or process equipment
  • Mounting base, pedestal or palletizing column
  • Vision and part-detection hardware
  • Safety scanner, guarding or other safeguards
  • Installation, programming and training
  • Warranty and after-sales support

Two offers with the same robot name can represent very different production solutions. Request an itemised GoFa 10 quote through Anton Robots.

What is the payload and reach of the ABB GoFa 10? +

The ABB GoFa 10 is the long-reach member of the GoFa family, with a nominal 10 kg payload and approximately 1.62 m TCP or flange reach. ABB has also published enhanced payload figures for current GoFa configurations, so the exact model and permitted load should be confirmed on the quotation and datasheet. The payload calculation must include the part, gripper, tool, brackets, cameras, cable dress and any other equipment attached to the wrist. The centre of gravity and robot pose also affect whether the application is valid. The 1.62 m reach is useful for tending larger machines, reaching pallet positions, servicing conveyors and covering a wider work area than compact cobots.

However, nominal reach does not mean every position is equally accessible with the chosen tool and payload. Ask the integrator to simulate the complete cell in RobotStudio and check singularities, clearance, cycle time and payload curves.

You can request GoFa 10 sizing support through Anton Robots before buying.

Is the ABB GoFa 10 good for pick and place? +

Yes, the ABB GoFa 10 is a strong pick-and-place cobot when the combined part and tooling load fits the permitted payload and the 1.62 m reach matches the workcell. It can move components between conveyors, trays, fixtures, inspection stations, packaging equipment and machines. Its high repeatability and ABB motion-control ecosystem make it suitable for consistent handling, while the long reach allows one robot to cover multiple positions. The complete system still depends on the end effector, part presentation, vision, cycle time and safety design. Random bin picking may require 2D or 3D vision, lighting, recognition software and collision-aware path planning. Delicate or variable parts may need force sensing or compliant gripping.

If the required speed is very high, an industrial robot or ABB’s faster collaborative options may be more suitable. Provide sample parts, required picks per minute and layout drawings before choosing.

Request a GoFa 10 pick-and-place quote through Anton Robots to compare robot, gripper, vision and integration.

Can the ABB GoFa 10 be used for machine tending? +

Yes, the ABB GoFa 10 is well suited to machine tending where its long reach and payload match the door, chuck, fixture and part-handling requirements. It can load and unload CNC machines, presses, test stations, moulding equipment and other production assets. A successful cell must account for the combined weight of raw and finished parts, gripper, blow-off tools and gauging equipment.

The integrator should also check reach into the machine, door automation, chip and coolant exposure, cable routing, cycle time, machine communications and safe access for operators. GoFa’s collaborative design can simplify some layouts, but the application may still need guarding, scanners or reduced speed because the workpiece, gripper or machine creates hazards. IP protection and tool compatibility should be verified for the exact environment. For unattended production, plan part buffering, fault recovery and operator alerts.

Contact Anton Robots to review the complete machine-tending cell before purchasing the robot.

Can the ABB GoFa 10 be used for palletizing? +

Yes. The ABB GoFa 10 is particularly relevant to light and medium collaborative palletizing because its 1.62 m reach can cover more pallet positions than shorter cobots. It can handle cartons, trays, bags or components when the combined product and gripper load remains within the approved payload. The application must be checked against box weight, pallet dimensions, stack height, pattern, required throughput and the robot’s mounting position.

Tall pallets may need a pedestal, linear axis or lifting column. Vacuum grippers, compressed air, slip-sheet handling and barcode or vision systems may also be required. The nominal 10 kg payload should not be interpreted as a 10 kg carton allowance if the gripper and brackets consume part of that capacity. Collaborative operation is task-dependent; fast movement, heavy boxes or sharp loads may require scanners or guarding. Ask for a RobotStudio reach study and cycle-time estimate.

You can request an ABB GoFa 10 palletizing quote through Anton Robots.

Can the ABB GoFa 10 be used for welding? +

The ABB GoFa 10 can be used for suitable welding applications, including selected arc, laser or process-welding tasks when configured with the correct equipment and safety controls. Its long reach, repeatability and RobotStudio support can be useful for flexible, low-volume or high-mix production.

However, the robot arm is only one part of a welding cell. Buyers may need a welding power source, torch, wire feeder, dress pack, extraction, fixtures, seam tracking, positioner, shielding, process software and certified integration. Welding creates arc light, fumes, heat, spatter, electrical and fire hazards, so a collaborative robot does not automatically make the application safe without guarding or separation.

The chosen GoFa protection version and cable routing must also suit the environment. For demanding high-speed welding or large parts, an industrial welding robot may provide better performance. Supply drawings, weld lengths, materials, tolerances and target cycle time before selecting the system. Request a GoFa 10 welding assessment through Anton Robots.

Is the ABB GoFa 10 suitable for assembly and inspection? +

Yes, the ABB GoFa 10 is suitable for assembly, screwdriving, dispensing and inspection when the task benefits from long reach, precise positioning and flexible programming. It can present parts, insert components, drive screws, apply adhesive, move cameras or gauges and transfer assemblies between stations.

The approximately 0.02 mm published pose repeatability is strong for a collaborative robot, but final process accuracy also depends on calibration, fixtures, tool compliance, vision, force control and part variation. Assembly tasks involving tight fits may need force-torque sensing or compliant tooling. Inspection cells may need calibrated cameras, lighting, metrology equipment and traceability software.

The robot can be mounted at different orientations, but the integrator should verify payload and cable behaviour in the chosen pose. For regulated or high-tolerance production, validate the entire process rather than relying on the arm specification alone. Anton Robots can help compare GoFa 10 tooling and integration options for the required quality level.

Should I buy the ABB GoFa 10, GoFa 5 or GoFa 12? +

The right GoFa model depends on the complete payload, reach and workcell. The GoFa 5 is the compact option for lighter tools and smaller work areas. The GoFa 10 provides the longest reach in the core family at approximately 1.62 m and is attractive for palletizing, machine tending and applications that must cover several stations. The GoFa 12 is positioned for higher payload with a shorter reach than the GoFa 10.

ABB’s current specifications may show enhanced payload values, so confirm the exact configuration rather than choosing only by the model name. Add the part, gripper, brackets, cables and sensors to calculate the real wrist load, then check the centre of gravity and required reach at every task point. A larger model is not automatically better: it may cost more, occupy more space and provide reach you do not need. A smaller model may be faster or easier to integrate but fail at the furthest pose. Ask for a RobotStudio simulation and cycle-time study.

Request model advice through Anton Robots before choosing.

How is the ABB GoFa 10 programmed? +

The ABB GoFa 10 can be programmed through ABB’s established software ecosystem. Wizard Easy Programming provides a graphical, block-based interface intended to make common robot tasks easier to configure, while lead-through teaching lets an operator physically guide the arm to positions. RobotStudio supports offline programming, simulation, layout validation and virtual commissioning, which is valuable for checking reach, collisions and cycle time before changing production.

More advanced users can use ABB RobotWare functions, application packages, fieldbus communications and integrator-developed code. The correct method depends on whether the task is simple pick and place, palletizing, machine tending, welding, inspection or a custom process. Easy programming reduces the learning curve, but it does not remove the need to understand tooling, machine interfaces, safety and recovery logic.

Buyers should confirm which software licences and training are included in the quote. For production use, require documented programs, backups, user permissions and operator instructions. Anton Robots can help identify a package with the required programming and support.

Is the ABB GoFa 10 worth buying? +

The ABB GoFa 10 is worth buying when the application needs a recognised industrial cobot platform with long reach, useful payload, strong repeatability and access to ABB’s global software, service and integration ecosystem. It is particularly attractive for palletizing, machine tending, assembly, welding, packaging and inspection cells where a compact 5 kg cobot cannot reach far enough. The value is not only in the arm: RobotStudio, Wizard programming, OmniCore control, safety functions and the availability of experienced ABB integrators can reduce project risk.

However, the GoFa 10 is not automatically the lowest-cost option and should not be selected before the complete cell is sized. Buyers who need much heavier payload, very high speed or harsh-process protection may be better served by another collaborative or industrial robot. The project is worth doing only if the part flow, tooling, safety, uptime and payback are clear.

Compare other cobots and request a task-based quote rather than buying from specifications alone.

Can the ABB GoFa 10 be shipped internationally? +

Yes, the ABB GoFa 10 can be supplied internationally through ABB’s regional sales and authorised partner network, subject to local product availability, export rules and service coverage. The final landed cost can include freight, insurance, customs duties, VAT or GST, local delivery and installation.

Buyers should also confirm that the controller, electrical supply, wireless equipment, safety documentation and certifications are correct for the destination market. Industrial robots are often shipped separately from grippers, pedestals, safety scanners or application equipment, which can create scheduling problems if the complete delivery is not coordinated. Ask who is responsible for customs clearance, site unloading, installation, commissioning and warranty service. For a production deadline, require a written delivery plan covering the robot, controller, tooling and integrator availability.

Anton Robots can help you request an international GoFa 10 quote and compare local support before placing an order.

What tooling, safety and integration does an ABB GoFa 10 cell need? +

An ABB GoFa 10 cell needs equipment matched to the task, not only the robot arm. The integrator should define the end effector, mounting, part presentation, controls, safety and production interfaces before purchase.

  • Tooling: gripper, vacuum system, welding torch, screwdriver, dispenser, camera or process tool sized within the payload and centre-of-gravity limits.
  • Mechanical: pedestal, palletizing column, fixtures, cable management and clearance for the full 1.62 m reach.
  • Controls: OmniCore, RobotWare options, machine I/O, fieldbus, PLC, RobotStudio simulation and recovery logic.
  • Safety: task-specific risk assessment, emergency stops, safe speeds, scanners, guarding or separation where required.
  • Operations: training, maintenance, backups, spare parts, acceptance testing and support.

Collaborative design does not guarantee a fence-free installation. The carried part and tool can create hazards even when the robot is power-and-force limited. Request a complete GoFa 10 cell review through Anton Robots before buying.
