Dual Purpose AUBO i3 iS Series Collaborative Robot Standard Version 6 Axis 3kg 625mm for Machine Tending

Overview

• • The AUBO i3 is a 3 kg payload collaborative robot arm built for machine tending, small assembly and inspection cells.
• • A 625 mm working radius lets this collaborative robot serve a compact machine door, a bench fixture and a small tray from one mount.
• • Repeat positioning accuracy of 0.02 mm keeps small parts, pins and inserts aligned where the tolerance is measured in hundredths.
• • IP54 sealing on the body and joints suits dry machining dust, chips and light splash rather than washdown.
• • A body weight of 16 kg lets one person lift this collaborative robot onto a bench or a machine frame without a crane.
• • Tool speed of 1.9 m/s gives this collaborative robot short strokes on a small envelope, so the cycle time stays predictable.
• • One cabinet, AUBO-CB-iS or the compact AUBO-CB-C, powers this collaborative robot and the end effector from a single feed.
• • Six servo joints hold tool orientation through a curved path on gluing, screw driving and pick and place work.
• • Ethernet, PROFINET, EtherCAT and Modbus options connect the arm to a cell PLC without an extra controller in the panel.
• • The 150 x 150 mm base fits on a bench, a conveyor frame or a machine panel where floor space is not available.

Advantages

Why the i3 fits compact workstations

• • A 3 kg payload collaborative robot suits small grippers, cameras and fixtures that a larger arm would oversize and overprice.
• • The 625 mm reach keeps the arm inside a compact cell, so a guard, a scanner and a feed track still fit on a bench.
• • On this collaborative robot, 0.02 mm repeatability matters on pin insertion, screw driving and gauge loading where a position error shows up in the part.
• • IP54 protection covers machining dust, chips and light splash, which is the environment most small cells actually run in.
• • A 16 kg body lets two people install this collaborative robot on a bench with no crane and no reinforced base.
• • Tool speed of 1.9 m/s matches the short strokes of a small envelope and keeps the cycle predictable across a batch.
• • One cabinet powers this collaborative robot, the gripper and the safety devices, cutting wiring work and spare parts stock.
• • The 6 axis wrist reaches into a small cavity and rotates the tool without moving the base or adding a tilt axis.
• • Fieldbus options let the collaborative robot talk to an existing PLC instead of a dedicated cell controller with its own licence.

Applications

• • Machine tending on small CNC, drilling and tapping centers where this collaborative robot loads and unloads parts.
• • Assembly of small components that need a collaborative robot to hold the part while the operator fastens it.
• • Pick and place between a tray, a conveyor and a fixture inside a compact cell.
• • Screw driving and dispensing at a bench where the operator and the collaborative robot share the workspace.
• • Inspection cells where the part is presented to a camera or a gauge at a repeatable angle.
• • Electronics and 3C assembly tasks with frequent product changeover and very short runs.
• • Packaging of small items where a light arm fits beside a cartoner or a labeller.

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum payload of the AUBO i3? A: The rated payload of this collaborative robot is 3 kg at the tool flange. The gripper, the adapter plate and the tool cable weight come out of that figure.

Q: How much working radius does the arm provide? A: This collaborative robot reaches 625 mm from the base to the tool flange, sized for a small machine door, a bench fixture and a tray position.

Q: What does the IP54 rating cover? A: This collaborative robot carries IP54 on the body and the joints, so dust, chips and light splash are acceptable. Washdown and immersion are not covered.

Q: How is the arm installed? A: The unit weighs 16 kg, so one person can lift this collaborative robot onto a bench. Floor, ceiling and wall mounting are all supported.

Q: Which control cabinet should I order? A: The standard cabinet for this collaborative robot is AUBO-CB-iS. Choose AUBO-CB-C when the panel has to fit inside a compact cell.

Q: What is the delivery time? A: This collaborative robot leaves the factory in 15 working days for a standard configuration, and 30 to 45 days for custom options.
