Overview
- • The AUBO i10 is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm rated for a 10 kg payload and a 1335 mm maximum reach, sized for medium-duty pick-and-place, machine tending and assembly cells.
- • Pose repeatability of plus or minus 0.05 mm (ISO 9283) keeps this collaborative robot arm on target through long production runs, repeated tool changes and multi-shift operation.
- • All six joints travel plus or minus 175 degrees at up to 180 degrees per second, so the cobot combines short cycle times with the smooth, predictable motion that shared human-robot workstations require.
- • The arm runs on a DC48V power platform with CAN Bus communication, which lets one collaborative robot arm talk to PLCs, vision systems, grippers and force sensors through a single documented control chain.
- • Motion tasks are built in the AUBOPE graphical interface on the supplied touch teach pendant, so line operators can create, simulate and deploy a new job without writing code.
- • A 37 kg arm, an IP54 protection rating, a 30000 hour design life and CE, TUV and KCs certification make this collaborative robot arm practical for plants that need fast deployment in Europe and Korea.
- • Because the arm, cabinet and pendant share the same IP54 rating, this collaborative robot arm can move between assembly, packaging and inspection cells without extra guarding hardware.

Advantages
- • A 10 kg payload paired with a 1335 mm reach lets one collaborative robot arm cover machine doors, conveyor infeed and inspection stations that normally need two fixed automation units.
- • Plus or minus 0.05 mm repeatability keeps assembly, screw driving and dispensing results consistent, which reduces rework and scrap on small and medium batch orders.
- • IP54 protection on the arm, cabinet and teach pendant means the cobot tolerates dust, coolant mist and washdown splash without an added enclosure.
- • The DC48V architecture lowers electrical risk in shared work areas while cutting cabinet footprint, so the collaborative robot arm fits into cells where a full industrial robot would not.
- • AUBOPE drag-and-teach programming shortens changeover from days to hours; a trained operator can record, edit and re-deploy a path directly on the pendant.
- • A 30000 hour design life and CE, TUV and KCs certification support planned maintenance schedules and simplify compliance paperwork for European and Korean buyers.
- • Standard 16 in / 16 out digital I/O and CAN Bus open the door to third-party grippers, vacuum tools, weld torches and vision cameras, so the collaborative robot arm arrives ready for the tools your process already uses.
- • Any-angle mounting, from floor stand to ceiling frame, allows the collaborative robot arm to be reused across cells as production layouts change.
Applications
- • Machine tending: loading and unloading CNC lathes, milling centres and injection moulding machines with a stable 10 kg handling capacity.
- • Palletizing and case packing: stacking cartons, bags and totes at end-of-line speeds that a 1335 mm reach can cover in a single sweep.
- • Assembly support: press-fit, screw driving, snap-fit and adhesive dispensing tasks that benefit from plus or minus 0.05 mm repeatability.
- • Quality inspection: presenting parts to cameras and gauges, then sorting them by pass or fail result.
- • Surface and finishing work: gluing, sealing, labelling, polishing and light welding paths taught directly on the pendant.
- • Laboratory and medical automation: repetitive sample handling inside clean benches where DC48V power and IP54 sealing are preferred.
- • Education and research: a six-axis collaborative robot arm platform for teaching motion planning, force control and vision-guided robotics.
- • Flexible re-deployment: rental fleets and contract manufacturers that move one collaborative robot arm between short-run production contracts.
FAQ
Q: Is the AUBO i10 a true collaborative robot arm or a standard industrial arm?
A: It is a collaborative robot arm built for shared human-robot workspaces. The arm, control cabinet and pendant all carry IP54 protection, run on DC48V and are programmed for easy on-site re-tasking, and the platform is delivered with CE, TUV and KCs certification. A site-specific risk assessment is still required before operators work inside the cell.
Q: What can the 10 kg payload actually carry in practice?
A: The 10 kg rating is a gross tool-plus-workpiece figure. As a working rule, size the end-of-arm tool at 2–3 kg so the collaborative robot arm keeps 7–8 kg for the part, which preserves the rated plus or minus 0.05 mm repeatability and full 180 degrees per second joint speed.
Q: How fast can the AUBO i10 be installed and re-programmed?
A: Typical sites mount the arm, wire DC48V power and CAN Bus, then teach the first path on the 12 inch pendant in a single working day. Because programs are built graphically in AUBOPE, changeovers for a new part usually take hours rather than the days needed for code-based industrial robot cells, which is what makes a collaborative robot arm affordable for high-mix production.
Q: Does it work with third-party grippers, vision systems and PLCs?
A: Yes. The control cabinet provides 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs plus CAN Bus communication, and it accepts 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz mains power, so electric grippers, vacuum generators, 2D and 3D cameras and plant PLCs connect without custom hardware.
Q: What environment and maintenance conditions should we plan for?
A: Operate the collaborative robot arm between 0 and 45 degrees Celsius at 25 to 85 percent humidity without condensation, and keep the IP54 sealing intact around connectors and cable entries. The design life is 30000 hours, so schedule periodic joint and cable inspection on this collaborative robot arm according to your duty cycle.
