FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the DOBOT CR5 cost? +

The DOBOT CR5 price has no current standard new-unit price because the original CR Series ended sales on December 31, 2025. Used value depends on controller, SafeSkin, hours, software, cables, tooling, condition, integration and warranty. A displayed arm price or used-market figure is not the final cost of a productive automation system. Buyers may also need a controller, teach pendant, end effector, dress pack, pedestal, guarding, safety equipment, software, integration, programming, shipping, taxes, commissioning, training, warranty and spare parts.

Before comparing offers, confirm the exact generation, reach, controller, environmental version, included equipment and support route. The better buying question is: what is included, what is excluded, and who guarantees the completed application?

You can request DOBOT CR5 pricing or a system review through Anton Robots before approving a budget. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, safety file, or production deployment.

Where can I buy the DOBOT CR5? +

You can request verified used or remaining-stock sourcing for the DOBOT CR5 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers verify the exact robot, legitimate commercial route and complete automation package. The original CR5 is a legacy model succeeded by the current CR5A.

Before buying or importing a unit, confirm the full model code, generation, controller, software, payload data, delivery country, warranty, spare parts and local service. A family name, old brochure or secondary-market listing does not always identify the same mechanical arm or supported controller generation. Professional buyers should compare the complete cell and integration responsibility rather than choosing only the lowest robot price. For collaborative equipment, also verify the task risk assessment and selected safety functions.

To start, request DOBOT CR5 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, safety file, or production deployment.

Where can I find a DOBOT CR5 for sale? +

You may find a DOBOT CR5 for sale through integrators, laboratories, factories, resellers and Anton Robots. Finding a DOBOT CR5 for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is current, new, used, refurbished, incomplete, controller-only, arm-only or unsupported outside its original region. Confirm CR5 rather than CR5A, serial number, controller, hours, firmware, cables, safety options and support eligibility.

A useful comparison should cover the exact model code, serial number, manufacturing year, operating hours, controller, teach interface, cables, calibration status, service history, software licences, warranty and available parts. For used industrial robots, require a powered inspection and confirm that the selected integrator can recommission the system safely.

If you are looking for a DOBOT CR5, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robots in the same category.

Can I get a quote for the DOBOT CR5? +

There is no normal current CR5 new-product quote, but you can request a used-unit review or CR5A comparison through Anton Robots. A useful quotation should identify the exact robot and controller, end effector, payload and inertia assumptions, mounting structure, safety system, application software, fixtures, integration, commissioning, training and acceptance criteria. The proposal should define condition, tool, payload, process, reach, safety, integration, warranty and successor economics.

Buyers should provide the destination country, workpiece, tool, required reach, cycle time, environment, process, production schedule and any existing machines or fieldbus systems. That information allows the supplier to verify load data and determine whether the proposed configuration is technically suitable. The quote should state who owns programming, risk assessment, documentation and production acceptance.

Anton Robots can help compare the DOBOT CR5 against other relevant robots.

What is included when you buy the DOBOT CR5? +

A typical DOBOT CR5 package may include the arm, control box, robot cable, power equipment, software and selected teaching interface. The exact contents vary by country, seller, controller generation, configuration and product condition, so buyers should request a written list:

  • DOBOT CR5 arm
  • Compatible CR control box
  • Robot and power cables
  • DobotStudio Pro or supported software
  • Teaching application or interface
  • Gripper or process end effector
  • Fixture, safety, recommissioning and training
  • Shipping, seller warranty and support

Tooling, vision, fixtures and safety equipment are normally separate. A robot arm alone does not create a working automation cell. Tooling, guarding, fixtures, software, machine interfaces, safety validation and production testing can equal or exceed the hardware cost. For used equipment, backups, cables, calibration data and compatible software are especially important.

You can request an itemised DOBOT CR5 offer or availability review through Anton Robots before committing.

What are the payload and reach of the DOBOT CR5? +

The DOBOT CR5 has a 5 kg payload and 1,096 mm maximum reach. The approximately 25 kg arm uses a 900 mm working radius and balances compact installation with useful reach. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. The payload includes the gripper, tool, brackets, cables and workpiece, while the usable workspace depends on tool orientation and joint limits.

Before purchase or integration, verify combined load, centre of gravity, tool-centre-point reach, every required orientation, fixture position and future product range. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Use the specification as a starting point and preserve practical payload and reach margin.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

How accurate and fast is the DOBOT CR5? +

DOBOT specifies ±0.02 mm repeatability and a maximum TCP speed of 3 m/s. Its ±0.02 mm specification is among the strongest in the original CR family. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Repeatability is not absolute accuracy, and the maximum catalogue speed may require reduction for collaborative operation, process quality or safety.

Before purchase or integration, verify process tolerance, path accuracy, load, speed mode, calibration, fixture, cycle time and acceptance measurement. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Validate the completed cell against the real process rather than the arm specification alone.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

What applications suit the DOBOT CR5? +

The DOBOT CR5 suits assembly, machine tending, screwdriving, dispensing, inspection, welding and polishing. The 5 kg class supports a broad range of light production tools and components. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Tooling, vision, fixtures, machine interfaces and failure recovery determine whether the robot can perform the task reliably.

Before purchase or integration, verify workpiece, tool, reach, cycle, process force, environment, part presentation, safety and recovery from faults. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Purchase a task-specific cell rather than a bare arm without an application plan.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Is the DOBOT CR5 a collaborative robot? +

Yes, the DOBOT CR5 was sold as a six-axis collaborative robot. The CR generation supported configurable safety functions, hand-guided teaching and optional SafeSkin pre-collision sensing within suitable applications. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. A collaborative robot does not make sharp tools, hot processes, pinch points, unstable loads or surrounding machinery automatically safe.

Before purchase or integration, verify the full task risk assessment, tool hazards, speed, force, payload, stopping, safe zones, emergency stops and operator procedure. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Collaborative operation is a validated property of the completed application.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

How do you program and integrate the DOBOT CR5? +

The DOBOT CR5 supports DobotStudio Pro, teaching applications, TCP/IP, Modbus and controller I/O. The original CR platform also used end-of-arm RS485 and configurable digital and analogue interfaces for grippers, sensors and external equipment. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Software, firmware, fieldbus functions and mobile applications may be legacy and must match the exact controller generation.

Before purchase or integration, verify controller model, firmware, software installer, licences, APIs, fieldbus, I/O, backups, cybersecurity and integrator support. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Secure the complete compatible software and controller package with any used robot.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

What replaced the DOBOT CR5? +

The original DOBOT CR Series was replaced by the CRA Series after sales ended on December 31, 2025. CR5A retains the 5 kg and 900 mm class while adding the current CRA controller, higher speed and current lifecycle support. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. The successor may use a different controller, speed, safety architecture or workspace, so existing tooling and programs should not be assumed to transfer directly.

Before purchase or integration, verify payload, reach, speed, controller, mounting, tool flange, I/O, software migration, safety functions and integration cost. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. For a new project, the current CRA platform normally offers the clearer lifecycle path.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Should I buy a used DOBOT CR5? +

A used DOBOT CR5 can make sense for existing-fleet compatibility, a controlled budget or an application already validated on the CR generation. Authorised support and parts for sold CR-series robots may continue for a defined period, but condition and regional service vary. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. A low purchase price can be offset by battery-free controller repairs, joint wear, software incompatibility, missing cables and integration work.

Before purchase or integration, verify serial number, hours, joint noise, repeatability test, controller, cables, backups, safety functions, service history, warranty and successor cost. A proper feasibility study should simulate or test the real tool, workpiece, paths, obstacles, process forces and cycle requirement instead of relying only on catalogue reach. Buy only after a powered inspection and a complete installed-cost comparison.

You can request DOBOT CR5 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete system before purchase.

Can the DOBOT CR5 be shipped internationally? +

A verified DOBOT CR5 can be shipped internationally as legacy industrial equipment. Delivery depends on the destination country, product status, freight method, export controls, customs, electrical standards, controller configuration and local service coverage. Confirm controller voltage, software, parts, freight, customs, local integrator and recommissioning.

Before ordering, confirm who acts as importer of record, whether the controller and software are supported in the destination and who will install, calibrate, commission and validate the robot. Industrial and collaborative arms require suitable packaging, lifting, mounting and protection against transit damage. You can request international availability for the DOBOT CR5 through Anton Robots so the complete route can be checked.

Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, safety file, or production deployment. The selected supplier should record the final configuration, software version, support scope and acceptance criteria in the purchase documentation before commissioning.

Is the DOBOT CR5 in stock and how long does delivery take? +

DOBOT CR5 availability and delivery time can change according to the exact variant, controller, production allocation, seller inventory, refurbishment work and integration scope. Supply is limited to remaining inventory, installed fleets and refurbished systems. A robot appearing online should not automatically be treated as a complete locally stocked system.

Before committing to a production date, ask whether the quoted arm is built to order, physically in stock, used, refurbished or only subject to manufacturer confirmation. Lead time can also be affected by tooling, safety equipment, fixtures, software, freight, customs, commissioning and factory acceptance testing. You can request current DOBOT CR5 availability through Anton Robots.

Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, safety file, or production deployment. The selected supplier should record the final configuration, software version, support scope and acceptance criteria in the purchase documentation before commissioning.

What warranty and support should I check for the DOBOT CR5? +

Before buying the DOBOT CR5, confirm the warranty or seller guarantee, covered components, controller and software entitlement, exclusions, service territory, parts availability and repair process. Require a powered inspection covering joints, repeatability, controller, cables and safety options. Ask these questions:

  • Is the arm new, manufacturer-refurbished, integrator-refurbished, or sold as-is?
  • Who supports the controller, drives, motors, encoders, cables and teaching device?
  • Are backups, software licences and safety options included?
  • What response time and spare-parts commitment applies to production failures?
  • Who performs installation, risk assessment and application acceptance?
  • How long will the exact generation remain serviceable in the destination country?

Lifecycle support can be more important than the initial hardware price. Contact Anton Robots to review the package before purchase. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration, safety file, or production deployment.

Is the DOBOT CR5 worth buying? +

The DOBOT CR5 is worth considering if you need CR5 compatibility or a complete healthy system creates a meaningful installed-cost advantage. Its strongest value comes from its versatile 5 kg class, 1,096 mm reach, ±0.02 mm repeatability and broad application range.

However, the purchase only makes sense when the exact model, payload, reach, controller, environment and support match the application. For a new project, CR5A normally provides the clearer current software, performance and support path. Buyers should compare complete installed cost, cycle time, expected uptime, energy, maintenance, integration risk and currently supported alternatives. For a production project, define measurable acceptance criteria before approving the cell rather than selecting a robot only by brand or nominal payload.
