The DOBOT M1 price has no current standard new-unit price because M1 is a legacy platform replaced by M1 Pro. Used value depends on controller, software, calibration, I/O hardware, cables, condition, tooling and support. 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 M1 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.
You can request verified used or installed-base sourcing for the DOBOT M1 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers verify the exact robot, legitimate commercial route and complete automation package. M1 is absent from DOBOT’s current active range, while M1 Pro remains the supported commercial SCARA.
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 M1 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.
You may find a DOBOT M1 for sale through laboratories, integrators, resellers and used-equipment specialists. Finding a DOBOT M1 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 the original controller, M1 Studio software, cables, I/O, calibration, mechanical condition, accessories and seller support.
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 M1, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robots in the same category.
There is no normal current M1 new-product quote, but you can request a used-unit review or M1 Pro 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, software, tool, application, I/O, safety, recommissioning, warranty and migration cost.
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 M1 against other relevant robots.
A typical DOBOT M1 package may include the four-axis robot, controller, power and communication equipment, M1 Studio and selected end-effector hardware. The exact contents vary by country, seller, controller generation, configuration and product condition, so buyers should request a written list:
A used unit without the original software and controller may be difficult to recommission. 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 M1 offer or availability review through Anton Robots before committing.
The DOBOT M1 has a 1.5 kg payload and 400 mm working radius. The compact four-axis mechanism was created for tabletop and small production-line automation. 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, suction tool, camera, brackets, cables and workpiece, while vertical stroke and wrist rotation constrain the usable workspace.
Before purchase or integration, verify combined load, centre of gravity, vertical stroke, wrist rotation, fixture, path and process margin. 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. It is best for lightweight high-speed planar automation.

DOBOT specifies ±0.02 mm repeatability. The specification supports precise repetitive motion when tooling and fixtures are rigid and well calibrated. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Repeatability does not include fixture error, tool deflection, camera calibration, conveyor motion or thermal effects.
Before purchase or integration, verify process tolerance, payload, tool rigidity, fixture, vision calibration, conveyor accuracy and completed-cell 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. Use a production acceptance test for the finished system.

The DOBOT M1 suits small-part pick and place, sorting, assembly, dispensing, testing and education. Its SCARA geometry is efficient for horizontal transfers, tray work, conveyors and desktop processes. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. A four-axis SCARA cannot reproduce arbitrary six-axis tool orientations and may be unsuitable for angled insertion, welding or complex machine access.
Before purchase or integration, verify required orientation, vertical stroke, payload, cycle time, part presentation, tool, fixtures and process force. 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. Choose it when fast horizontal motion is more valuable than six-axis dexterity.

The DOBOT M1 supports M1 Studio, scripting, graphical programming and Ethernet or RS-232C integration. The Linux-based controller provides a broad set of digital and analogue I/O for external equipment. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. The exact application, firmware, SDK and supported protocols depend on the original or Pro controller generation.
Before purchase or integration, verify software version, operating system, APIs, network, I/O, encoder support, backups, licences and integrator skills. 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. Fix the software stack before approving multiple robots or a long-term course.

The original M1 can be integrated with external sensors and controls, but conveyor tracking depends on the exact controller, software and custom engineering. Unlike M1 Pro, the legacy M1 is not the preferred current platform for encoder-based dynamic tracking. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Tracking requires a compatible encoder, correct timing, part detection, coordinate calibration and a process that can tolerate conveyor variation.
Before purchase or integration, verify encoder type, controller interface, line speed, trigger, latency, part spacing, missed-part recovery and acceptance rate. 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. Demonstrate the real conveyor and product before purchase.

The DOBOT M1 should be integrated as a risk-assessed industrial or collaborative SCARA application. The original M1 predates the current M1 Pro positioning and should be evaluated as a complete industrial machine. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Fast horizontal motion, end effectors, pinch points, moving conveyors and process equipment can require guarding, scanners or restricted access.
Before purchase or integration, verify risk assessment, speed, payload, stopping, tool hazards, protective devices, emergency stops and operator training. 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. Safety is determined by the completed machine, not only the robot name.

Choose the M1 mainly for legacy compatibility and the M1 Pro for a current supported SCARA deployment. M1 Pro retains the 1.5 kg, 400 mm and ±0.02 mm class while adding current software, easier deployment, an encoder interface and active commercial support. The practical result depends on the exact model, controller, tool, load data, installation, environment and application rather than the headline specification alone. Programs, I/O, mechanics and fixtures may require migration work rather than transferring directly.
Before purchase or integration, verify controller, software, encoder, I/O, tooling, fixture, safety, support, price and expected operating lifetime. 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 greenfield project, M1 Pro is normally the lower-risk choice.

A verified DOBOT M1 can be shipped internationally as legacy equipment. Delivery depends on the destination country, product status, freight method, export controls, customs, electrical standards, controller configuration and local service coverage. Confirm packaging, controller voltage, software transfer, customs, calibration, parts and local integrator support.
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 M1 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.
DOBOT M1 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 used, educational and installed-base equipment. 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 M1 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.
Before buying the DOBOT M1, confirm the warranty or seller guarantee, covered components, controller and software entitlement, exclusions, service territory, parts availability and repair process. Require coverage or a condition guarantee for motors, screw axis, controller, I/O, calibration and software. Ask these questions:
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.
The DOBOT M1 is worth considering if you need M1 compatibility or a complete healthy system provides a clear cost advantage for a simple planar task. Its strongest value comes from its compact 1.5 kg SCARA format, ±0.02 mm repeatability and flexible original I/O architecture.
However, the purchase only makes sense when the exact model, payload, reach, controller, environment and support match the application. M1 Pro provides a current product, active software and a clearer support route for new projects. 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.
