FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the AUBO i5 cost? +

The AUBO i5 price is normally available by quote rather than one fixed worldwide retail price. The final cost depends on country, distributor, configuration, stock, freight, taxes, warranty, training, support, and the equipment required to turn the robot into a working application. A quotation for the arm alone may exclude the controller, teach interface, gripper, vision system, mounting base, cables, safety equipment, commissioning, and integration. Those items can materially change the deployed cost.

Buyers should compare like-for-like packages and ask exactly what is included, what is optional, and who supports the system after delivery. The correct configuration also depends on payload, reach, cycle time, tool weight, environment, and the process being automated. A lower headline price is not always better if it leaves essential hardware or engineering outside the proposal.

You can request a AUBO i5 quote through Anton Robots to compare the complete robot package, delivery terms, tooling, integration, warranty, and support before buying.

Where can I buy the AUBO i5? +

You can buy or request the AUBO i5 through Anton Robots. We help buyers compare robot packages, check supplier availability, understand what is included, and decide whether the model is suitable for the intended application. The AUBO i5 is also available through AUBO Robotics and selected robotics or automation distributors, but quotations may not cover the same equipment or service. One offer may include only the arm and controller, while another may add a teach interface, gripper, mounting hardware, software, training, commissioning, warranty handling, or integration support.

Before buying, confirm the exact model, payload, reach, controller, cables, software, end effector, delivery terms, and after-sales support. For manufacturing and education buyers, the best offer is usually the package that can be deployed reliably, not simply the lowest arm-only price. It is also worth checking whether another payload or reach class would fit the process better.

To start, request a AUBO i5 quote and Anton Robots can help compare price, package, delivery, tooling, and support.

Where can I find an AUBO i5 for sale? +

You can find the AUBO i5 for sale through AUBO Robotics, authorised or specialist automation distributors, robot integrators, and marketplaces such as Anton Robots. Finding a listing is only the first step.

The important part is confirming whether the offer includes the complete system required for your process. Some quotations show the robot and controller only, while others include a teach interface, gripper, vision, mounting base, safety equipment, training, commissioning, or local service. Compare the exact model number, payload, reach, repeatability, controller, software, environmental rating, delivery time, and warranty terms. Then check the full application cost, including tooling, fixtures, machine interfaces, and integration. Two offers for the same robot can have very different deployment value. For a factory, laboratory, school, or automation project, choose the package that is technically matched and supportable after installation.

If you are looking for an AUBO i5 for sale, contact Anton Robots before ordering so the package, supplier, and application fit can be reviewed.

Can I get a quote for the AUBO i5? +

Yes. You can request a AUBO i5 quote through Anton Robots. A useful proposal should describe more than the robot name and a headline price. It should identify the exact model or revision, condition, payload, reach, controller, software, cables, teach interface, included end effector, mounting hardware, delivery assumptions, warranty position, and available support.

For a new automation project, ask whether the system has been tested and whether commissioning, training, licences, spare parts, and integration are included or separate. The quotation should also be based on the real application: part weight, tool weight, required reach, cycle time, mounting position, environment, safety needs, and communication with other equipment. A cheaper arm can become the more expensive project if key components or engineering work are omitted.

Anton Robots can help compare the complete package, identify gaps, and assess whether the AUBO i5 or another robot is the safer fit for your budget and use case. This is especially important when comparing a current product against older or incomplete listings.

What is included when you buy the AUBO i5? +

A AUBO i5 package should be checked against a written packing list. The exact package varies by distributor, controller option, and application. Before buying, confirm whether the proposal includes:

  • AUBO i5 collaborative robot arm
  • Matched controller cabinet and power cables
  • Teach pendant or operator interface
  • AUBO programming software and documentation
  • Emergency-stop and standard safety interfaces
  • Mounting base or workbench hardware
  • Gripper, vacuum tool or process end effector
  • Freight, warranty, training and integration as quoted

Also ask whether the arm and controller are matched, which software version is supported, and whether the equipment has been tested as one system. Grippers, vision, mounting hardware, safety equipment, commissioning, training, and integration may be separate even when they appear in product images. For used equipment, obtain serial numbers and proof of operation. For a current product, confirm who supplies and supports every optional component. Two offers labelled AUBO i5 can therefore represent very different levels of readiness and total cost.

You can request an itemised AUBO i5 package through Anton Robots to compare the robot, controller, accessories, delivery, warranty, and support before purchasing.

What is the payload and reach of the AUBO i5? +

The AUBO i5 payload is 5 kg, and its maximum working radius is approximately 886.5 mm. This combination suits compact work cells, benches, machine fronts, conveyors, and small-part processes. The payload must include the complete end-of-arm system: gripper, fingers, tool changer, camera, brackets, hoses, cables, and workpiece.

If the part weighs 4 kg and the gripper weighs 1.5 kg, the application is already beyond the nominal payload. Centre of gravity and inertia also affect allowable speed and motion, especially with long or offset tools. Reach should be validated with a layout that includes approach paths, fixture clearance, and joint limits, not just the distance between the robot base and target. The i5 is specified with approximately ±0.02 mm repeatability, but process accuracy also depends on tooling, calibration, and fixture quality.

You can request AUBO i5 sizing advice through Anton Robots before selecting the robot and gripper.

Can the AUBO i5 be shipped internationally? +

The AUBO i5 can usually be shipped internationally, subject to seller availability, destination, export rules, freight capacity, customs requirements, and the condition of the equipment. Robot arms should be packed securely because impact, moisture, unsupported joints, or poor restraint can damage reducers, brakes, encoders, connectors, and covers. The quotation should state whether professional crating, insurance, lift-gate delivery, customs documentation, and local transport are included.

Buyers may also need to pay freight, import duties, VAT, GST, brokerage, and unloading costs. For used or older systems, confirm that the controller, cables, teach device, and accessories are packed with the matched robot and clearly identified. Batteries inside controllers or pendants may create additional transport requirements. Before shipment, request photographs, serial numbers, a packing list, and evidence that the system has been tested.

If you need the AUBO i5 shipped internationally, request an international quote through Anton Robots so the landed package, customs responsibilities, delivery terms, and support arrangements can be checked before purchase.

Is the AUBO i5 in stock and how long does delivery take? +

AUBO i5 stock and delivery time can change by country, distributor, controller option, accessory package, and current production schedule. Some suppliers may hold a robot or demonstration unit locally, while others order the arm after the customer confirms the specification. Lead time can also increase when the project includes a gripper, vision system, custom base, guarding, training, commissioning, or application engineering.

Before buying, ask whether the quoted unit is physically in stock, factory-order, allocated, or subject to confirmation. The supplier should also state the expected dispatch date, delivery terms, controller and software version, warranty start point, and whether all accessories ship together. For a production launch, allow time after delivery for installation, programming, risk assessment, and acceptance testing. Do not schedule the application solely from a generic website estimate.

You can request current AUBO i5 availability through Anton Robots before placing an order or committing to a deployment date.

What warranty and support should I check before buying the AUBO i5? +

Before buying the AUBO i5, check the warranty period, covered components, exclusions, response process, and who provides technical support in your country. A robot arm may need help with installation, controller setup, software, calibration, end effectors, fieldbus communication, safety configuration, and troubleshooting. Ask whether labour, travel, freight, batteries, cables, and application equipment are covered, and how quickly replacement parts can be supplied.

The proposal should also explain whether commissioning and operator training are included or optional. For production users, support quality can matter more than a small difference in purchase price because downtime affects the full process. Confirm the service route before importing a robot from another region, as local distributors may have different responsibilities. Keep the final configuration and serial numbers documented so future support is clear.

Contact Anton Robots to review the warranty and support package for the AUBO i5 before purchase.

Is the AUBO i5 worth buying? +

The AUBO i5 is worth considering if you need a compact 5 kg collaborative arm for flexible light automation. Its main strengths are useful reach, strong repeatability, hand-guided teaching, IP54 protection, and a relatively lightweight mechanical design, making it relevant for small and medium manufacturers, laboratories, training centres, and integrators automating repeatable light-duty processes.

Buyers should still check the combined 5 kg payload, cycle time, local integrator support, tooling cost, safety validation, and whether a larger AUBO model would provide better margin. It is a current commercial cobot, but the deployed value depends on the distributor and complete application package. Size the robot from the real application: include the gripper and part in the payload, verify reach to every target, and review cycle time, mounting, environment, software, safety controls, and long-term support. A cheaper arm that needs unavailable parts or extensive engineering can cost more than a supported alternative. The correct decision is based on the complete deployed system and expected operating life, not the robot-arm price alone.

You can browse the cobots catalogue or request advice through Anton Robots before deciding whether the AUBO i5 is worth buying.

What applications is the AUBO i5 good for? +

The AUBO i5 is well suited to assembly, pick and place, machine loading, screwdriving, dispensing, adhesive application, inspection positioning, test-fixture loading, sample handling, packaging, and education. Its 5 kg payload and compact reach fit light-duty cells. The robot arm does not create a complete application by itself. Real deployments may require a gripper or process tool, fixtures, part presentation, machine or PLC communication, vision, safety equipment, and commissioning.

Cycle time and reliability depend on the complete system, not only the published payload and reach. Check the weight and centre of gravity of the tool and part, every approach path, environmental conditions, and the required duty cycle. Some tasks that look simple in a demonstration become difficult when parts vary, access is restricted, or error recovery is required. The AUBO i5 should also be kept within its intended role: it is not intended for heavy parts, long-reach palletizing, or warehouse transport.

You can request a AUBO i5 application review through Anton Robots to compare the robot, tooling, integration, and safer alternatives before building the cell.

How is the AUBO i5 programmed? +

The AUBO i5 can be programmed through its controller and teach interface, using graphical or waypoint-based workflows, hand-guided teaching, I/O logic, and advanced communication options where required. Exact fieldbus and API support should be confirmed for the controller.

Before buying, confirm the exact controller generation, firmware, software version, licences, supported operating systems, and communication options supplied with the unit. A production or research programme needs more than recorded motion: include tool control, I/O, interlocks, fault handling, safe stop behaviour, recovery, and backups. Ask the seller or integrator to demonstrate the workflow that your operators or developers will actually use, not only a simple movement example.

If the project depends on ROS, an API, a fieldbus, a specific PLC, vision system, or offline programming tool, validate that interface with the exact hardware revision before purchase. Legacy packages may require older software, while current products may have optional licences or modules. Contact Anton Robots to compare the complete programming and integration package for the AUBO i5.

Does the AUBO i5 include a controller or teach pendant? +

A standard AUBO i5 system should include a matched robot controller, while the teach pendant or operator interface can depend on the distributor package and controller generation. Ask for a written list of the controller, power equipment, robot cables, emergency-stop hardware, teach interface, software, licences, mounting equipment, and documentation. Grippers, vision, stands, safety scanners, process equipment, and application kits are often separate unless the quotation states otherwise.

For a used or limited-availability system, request a power-on video showing the controller booting and the robot moving all joints without unresolved faults. Confirm that the controller is matched to the arm and that calibration, parameters, and programme backups are available. Missing proprietary control hardware can make an otherwise inexpensive robot unusable. For a current product, verify input power, I/O, fieldbus, safety interfaces, and who will commission and support the controller after delivery.

You can request an itemised AUBO i5 control package through Anton Robots before comparing suppliers.

Can the AUBO i5 work safely around people? +

The AUBO i5 is designed as a collaborative robot, but that does not make every application safe for unrestricted operation beside people. The gripper, part, speed, force, and trapping points determine whether collaborative operation is practical. Safety depends on speed, payload, tool shape, workpiece, trapping points, mounting, environment, and human access. A smooth gripper moving a light rounded object creates different hazards from a sharp component, screwdriver, welding torch, hot part, or heavy offset tool.

The application may require emergency stops, guarded or monitored access, speed and force limits, safety scanners, interlocked gates, safe teaching modes, or physical fencing. Collaborative branding does not make every tool or process collaborative, and a reduced-speed setting does not replace a risk assessment. Confirm which safety functions are available in the exact controller and how they are configured, tested, and documented. Operators and maintenance staff need appropriate procedures and training.

Contact Anton Robots to review whether the AUBO i5 can operate near people or requires additional safeguarding.

Should I buy the AUBO i5 or a higher-payload AUBO cobot? +

Choose the AUBO i5 when the complete tool and part load stays comfortably below 5 kg and approximately 886.5 mm reach covers every target. Choose a higher-payload AUBO model when tooling leaves little margin, the centre of gravity is offset, or longer reach is needed.

Do not choose by model name or headline payload alone. Compare the complete tool and part weight, centre of gravity, reach to every target, repeatability, speed, mounting, environmental protection, controller, software, safety functions, lifecycle support, delivery, and local service. A legacy unit may be attractive as a direct replacement because mechanical and programme compatibility can outweigh age. A current model is usually safer for a greenfield project because warranty, documentation, parts, and integration support are clearer. A larger arm can add capacity but may increase cell size, cost, and safety requirements. A smaller arm can be easier to deploy but leave insufficient engineering margin.

You can request a robot comparison through Anton Robots based on your real application, budget, existing equipment, and support requirements.

What tooling and equipment does an AUBO i5 cell need? +

A complete AUBO i5 cell may need an electric or pneumatic gripper, vacuum cup, screwdriver, dispenser, inspection sensor, robot base, fixtures, feeders, conveyors, machine interfaces, valves, air preparation, vision, cable management, and safety equipment. The cell may also need a stable base, fixtures, trays, feeders, conveyors, machine interfaces, valves, air preparation, cables, tool changers, and safety equipment. Vision applications require a camera, lens, lighting, calibration, and software.

Machine tending may need automatic doors, chuck or vise control, part sensing, and machine I/O. Educational and research systems may need curriculum, computers, SDK access, or simulation licences. Validate the combined tool and part weight, centre of gravity, reach, cycle time, cable routing, and environmental exposure using the real components. The robot’s published specification does not guarantee that a complete process will work. Confirm who integrates and warrants the system and who supports it after installation.

You can request an itemised AUBO i5 system quote through Anton Robots rather than comparing arm-only prices.
