Dobot CR 30H Standard Edition Collaborative Robot

A robot arm that can lift as much as a heavy toolbox usually brings a fence, a dedicated power feed and a long commissioning plan with it. The Dobot CR 30H Standard Edition Collaborative Robot is built to question that habit: a heavy-duty cobot that works from a single-phase supply, can be mounted in any orientation and is made for shared floor space.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

Dobot and the CR family

Dobot is a robotics manufacturer whose collaborative arms are sold through our Dobot range and, more broadly, among the Cobots we offer. The CR 30H sits at the heavy end of that lineage. Where smaller cobots are chosen for light assembly and desktop tasks, this model is aimed at work that used to belong to conventional industrial robots: moving heavy parts, feeding machines and handling loads that tire a human operator.

The arm comes in three versions: the CR 30H Standard Edition, the CR 30HT Touch Edition and the CR 30H-Food Clean Edition. This page covers the Standard Edition only, and every figure below belongs to that version.

Positioning and key technology

The Standard Edition stands for reliable performance and unmatched productivity, with twice the throughput capacity of conventional systems. Three technologies carry that claim. HyperMove™ motion control adjusts acceleration so that the arm holds the maximum reliable speed, delivering 20% higher single-unit efficiency than competitors. A 1kHz real-time control frequency keeps command latency low, so high-speed motion does not overshoot. Fail-safe electromagnetic brakes engage automatically when power is lost and limit end-effector displacement to less than 1mm.

What makes the CR 30H different from a conventional industrial robot?

The first difference is how the arm is installed. A conventional heavy robot usually demands a three-phase feed, a guarded cell and a fixed layout. The CR 30H control cabinet runs from a single-phase 200-240V AC supply at 50/60Hz, weighs 19kg and measures 400mm*190mm*400mm, so it can be placed beside the work area rather than in a dedicated electrical room. The cabinet connects to the arm through a 6m cable, which gives some freedom in where each part is located. Typical power consumption is 500W, with a maximum of 2500W.

The second difference is flexibility. The arm can be mounted in any orientation, so it can stand on a floor base, hang from a frame or work from a side wall, depending on how the cell is arranged. With a rated payload of 30kg and a maximum reach of 1800 mm, one arm can serve a pallet, a machine and a conveyor from a single position.

The third difference is integration. The cabinet offers two Ethernet ports supporting TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP and Profinet, which are the protocols most plant controllers already speak. The end-effector I/O supplies 0, 12 or 24V at 2A on average and 3A at peak, enough for a wide range of grippers and tools. The teach pendant has a 10.1 inch screen for programming and operation.

How does the CR 30H combine speed with safety?

Speed and caution normally pull in opposite directions. Here the maximum TCP speed is 6 m/s, and HyperMove™ motion control tunes acceleration so the arm holds the highest speed it can keep reliably instead of slowing down for the whole move. The 1kHz control frequency shortens the delay between command and motion, which allows fast movement without overshoot. Repeatability of ±0.05 mm means that this speed is paired with precision.

For safety, the electromagnetic brakes are fail-safe: if power is lost they engage automatically and the end effector moves less than 1mm. That matters when the arm carries a heavy load, because a sagging arm is the greatest hazard in a power cut. Noise is rated at 70dB(A), which is manageable on a shared floor, and the operating temperature range is 0~50℃.

Who is the CR 30H for?

Manufacturers with heavy parts and limited space are the clearest fit: machine shops loading castings, plants stacking cartons, and workshops that cannot give up floor area to a caged cell. Integrators will value the Ethernet protocol support and the flexible mounting, which shorten design work for custom cells. Operations managers who struggle to find staff for repetitive heavy lifting can use the arm to remove strain from the job without rebuilding the line.

Buyers in the Caribbean often work with compact facilities, mixed product runs and a small technical team. A cobot that runs from a single-phase supply and mounts in any orientation suits that reality. If your application involves touch-based operation or food-grade cleanliness, the range also includes the CR 30HT Touch Edition and the CR 30H-Food Clean Edition; ask us about them when you request a quotation. Browse the wider Cobots category if your payload is lighter.

What is the CR 30H used for?

1. Palletizing and depalletizing. Stack and unstack cartons, bags or crates with the 30kg rated payload and long reach.
2. Machine tending. Load and unload parts from CNC machines and presses while operators supervise several stations.
3. Heavy part handling. Move castings, fixtures and assemblies that would otherwise need a hoist or two workers.
4. Assembly assistance. Hold or position large components with ±0.05 mm repeatability while people complete the fastening.
5. Packaging lines. Transfer finished goods between conveyors, cases and shipping containers at speeds up to 6 m/s TCP.
6. Material transfer between cells. Pass workpieces from one process to the next using the Ethernet protocols the plant already uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payload and reach does the CR 30H Standard Edition have?

The rated payload is 30kg and the maximum reach is 1800 mm. Both figures apply to the Standard Edition.

How precise is the arm?

Repeatability is ±0.05 mm. The control frequency is 1kHz real-time, which supports accurate motion at speed.

What power supply does it need?

The control cabinet runs from a single phase 200-240V AC supply at 50/60Hz. Typical power consumption is 500W and the maximum is 2500W.

Can it be mounted on a wall or ceiling?

Yes, the arm can be mounted in any orientation. Your cell layout decides the best position.

Which industrial networks does it support?

The control cabinet has 2 × Ethernet ports supporting TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP and Profinet.

What happens if power is cut during operation?

The fail-safe electromagnetic brakes engage automatically. They limit end-effector displacement to less than 1mm.

Where can I buy the CR 30H and what does it cost?

You can buy it through this page by requesting a quotation, and the cost is given in that quotation rather than listed here. Tell us about your application and we will prepare the offer.

Summary

The CR 30H Standard Edition challenges the idea that heavy lifting needs a heavy installation. It combines a 30kg rated payload and 1800 mm reach with a compact single-phase cabinet, flexible mounting, fast and precise motion, and brakes that hold the arm if power fails. If that balance matches your plant, this page is the starting point.
