About
About AUBO i5
AUBO i5 is a six-axis collaborative robot arm for smaller industrial workcells, carrying up to 5 kg within an 886.5 mm working radius. Integrators combine the arm with task-specific tooling, a controller and a teach pendant for handling, assembly, welding and machine-loading applications. Hand guiding and programmed motion provide different ways to set up a repeatable production task, while industrial communications connect the cell to peripheral equipment.
The i5 belongs to AUBO’s commercially supplied i-series. The current arm manual pairs it with AUBO-CB-iS controllers; earlier i5 installations also use the CB-M control platform. End tooling, workpiece weight and the installed safety configuration determine what a complete cell can do. Collaborative operation requires a risk assessment of the application, including the tool, surrounding equipment and contact hazards.
