The Dobot CR5A-IP68 is a 6-axis collaborative robot designed for use in harsh industrial environments. Featuring a maximum payload of 5kg and a working radius of 900mm, the unit is rated to IP68 for protection against dust, water ingress, and oil contamination.
The CR5A-IP68 incorporates a fully sealed design with fluororubber external components for enhanced chemical resistance, making it suitable for applications involving cutting fluids and high contamination environments.
An internal pneumatic system maintains positive pressure within the robot, improving sealing performance and reliability in demanding conditions. The system is complemented by an IP54-rated control cabinet, ensuring consistent operation in high humidity and water mist environments.
The cobot supports drag-to-teach operation, graphical programming, and code-based control, enabling simple deployment without specialist programming expertise. The CR5A-IP68 maintains high performance with a maximum linear speed of 2m/s and repeatability up to ±0.02mm.

Typical applications include CNC machine tending, where the robots handle loading and unloading tasks in the presence of cutting fluids and metal particles. They are also suitable for cutting and grinding operations, maintaining performance in high-dust and splash-prone environments.
In welding applications, these robots operate reliably in conditions involving sparks, debris, and humidity, supporting consistent and repeatable processes. The sealed design also enables use in food preparation and processing environments, where high humidity, temperature variation, and frequent cleaning are required.
Overall, this range supports automation across manufacturing and processing industries requiring robust, sealed robotic solutions for harsh operating conditions.
