Dobot CR 30H Standard Edition Collaborative Robot

Heavy lifting on the factory floor has long meant a fenced-off industrial robot, a dedicated power feed and weeks of integration work. The Dobot CR 30H Standard Edition Collaborative Robot takes a different line: a cobot that handles a rated payload of 30kg across a reach of 1800 mm, yet runs from a single-phase supply and can be mounted in any orientation. For plants where people still lift heavy cartons, castings or tool fixtures by hand, it opens a path to automation that does not require rebuilding the cell around the machine.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the CR 30H Standard Edition to customers throughout the European Union and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares each quotation, arranges delivery to your site and provides support after installation, so that technical questions, documentation and follow-up remain with one point of contact from the first enquiry onwards.

Background

DOBOT and the CR series

DOBOT is a Shenzhen-based robotics manufacturer that first became widely known for compact desktop arms used in education and light automation, before expanding into industrial collaborative robots. The CR family is the company's line of collaborative arms for production environments, covering a range of payload classes. The CR 30H sits at the heavy end of that family, aimed at tasks where the load and the working envelope are too large for a light cobot but where a conventional industrial robot would be excessive. You can browse the wider range in our Dobot category.

HyperMove motion control and a 1kHz control cycle

At the heart of the CR 30H is DOBOT's HyperMove™ motion control, which adjusts acceleration so that the arm maintains the maximum speed it can sustain reliably for a given movement. This is supported by a 1kHz real-time control frequency, which keeps command latency low and allows fast motion without overshooting the target position. In practice, this combination matters most for heavy loads: a large payload carries momentum, and a controller that adapts acceleration to the task helps the arm move briskly while still settling accurately. The arm is also fitted with fail-safe electromagnetic brakes that engage automatically if power is lost, holding the arm in place rather than letting it drop.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the IP rating of the Standard Edition, the contents of the box, the software version, the safety certifications or whether the teach pendant is included in delivery; Robots Europa confirms each of these at quotation.

How does the CR 30H fit into an existing production line?

Integration is often where heavy-duty automation projects slow down, and several details of the CR 30H are aimed squarely at that problem. The control cabinet runs on a single-phase 200-240V AC supply at 50/60Hz, which means many sites can connect it without installing a dedicated three-phase feed. The cabinet itself measures 400mm*190mm*400mm and weighs 19kg, small enough to sit beneath a workbench or beside a conveyor, and the 6m cable between robot and cabinet gives freedom in where it is placed.

On the communication side, the cabinet provides two Ethernet ports supporting TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP and Profinet. For European plants, where Profinet and Ethernet/IP controllers are common on the line, this allows the arm to exchange signals with an existing PLC rather than running as an isolated island. At the tool end, the end-effector I/O supplies 0/12/24V, with 2A average and 3A maximum, which covers the power needs of many grippers and sensors without separate wiring along the arm.

Because the arm may be mounted in any orientation, it can be installed on the floor, on a wall, inverted from a gantry or at an angle, depending on where the work sits. Combined with the 1800 mm reach, this flexibility lets planners place the robot where it covers the most stations rather than where the floor happens to allow.

What separates the Standard Edition from the Touch and Clean Editions?

DOBOT lists three editions under the CR 30H name: the CR 30H Standard Edition, the CR 30HT Touch Edition and the CR 30H-Food Clean Edition. DOBOT presents the Standard Edition, which this page covers, under the line "Reliable Performance, Unmatched Productivity", and it serves as the baseline configuration of the platform.

Every figure on this page belongs to the Standard Edition alone, and no value is transferred from one edition to another. If your application places particular demands on hand-guided teaching, hygiene or washdown, Robots Europa can set out the differences between the three editions in the quotation, so that your choice rests on the right configuration for the task.

Who is the CR 30H Standard Edition for?

The most natural buyers are manufacturers and logistics operators with heavy, repetitive handling tasks: end-of-line palletising, loading and unloading of machine tools, or moving large components between workstations. These are jobs where a 30kg payload and a long reach make the difference between automating a whole station and automating only part of it.

System integrators form a second group. The choice of industrial protocols, the compact single-phase cabinet and the free mounting orientation make the CR 30H a practical building block for cells delivered to end customers across the EU and the DACH region. Integrators who already work with other arms in our Cobots category will find the CR 30H fills the heavier payload slot.

Small and medium-sized enterprises considering their first heavy-duty robot are a third group, particularly where installing a large industrial robot with guarding and dedicated power is not realistic. Research institutes and applied engineering departments may also use the arm to develop handling processes at production scale.

Where an application calls for specific features associated with the Touch Edition or the Clean Edition, Robots Europa can advise whether one of those editions is a better fit before you commit.

What is the CR 30H used for?

1. Palletising and depalletising: stacking heavy cartons, sacks or crates at the end of a packaging line.
2. Machine tending: loading and unloading CNC machines, presses or moulding machines with heavy blanks and finished parts.
3. Heavy part handling: transferring castings, housings or sub-assemblies between stations without manual lifting.
4. Assembly support: holding and positioning large components while operators or other tools complete the assembly.
5. Packaging and end-of-line work: placing products into cases and moving filled cases onto conveyors or pallets.
6. Process development: trialling automated handling of heavy workpieces in pilot cells, laboratories and training facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payload can the CR 30H Standard Edition handle?

The rated payload is 30kg, with a maximum reach of 1800 mm. Remember that the gripper or tool counts towards the payload, so plan the end-effector weight into your calculations.

What power supply does the control cabinet need?

The control cabinet runs on a single-phase 200-240V AC supply at 50/60Hz. Typical power consumption is 500W, with a maximum of 2500W.

Which industrial protocols does it support?

The cabinet has two Ethernet ports supporting TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP and Profinet. This allows communication with most common PLCs found on European production lines.

Can the arm be mounted on a wall or ceiling?

Yes, the CR 30H can be mounted in any orientation. Floor, wall, inverted and angled installations are therefore all possible, subject to a suitably rigid mounting structure.

How precise and fast is the CR 30H?

The arm achieves a repeatability of ±0.05 mm and a maximum TCP speed of 6 m/s. HyperMove™ motion control and a 1kHz control cycle help it reach target positions quickly without overshooting.

What happens if the power supply fails?

Fail-safe electromagnetic brakes engage automatically during power loss. They hold the arm in position instead of letting it fall under the weight of the payload.

Where can I buy the Dobot CR 30H Standard Edition Collaborative Robot and what does it cost?

You can buy it from Robots Europa, which supplies customers across the EU and the DACH region. The cost depends on configuration and scope of supply, so please request a quotation through this page.
