CR-15iA

A 15 kg collaborative robot with 1,441 mm reach that fills the gap between the smaller CR-4iA/CR-7iA and the larger CR-35iA, using a highly-sensitive base sensor for safe human-robot proximity work.

Payload

15 kg

@ full reach: usually lower

Reach

1,441 mm

Repeatability

±0.02 mm

Full specifications

Performance

How much it lifts, how far it reaches, how precisely it repeats.

Payload Maximum mass the robot can carry at the wrist flange, including the gripper/tool. Higher means it can handle heavier parts.: 15 kg

70th pct in class
Reach Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.: 1,441 mm

79th pct in class
Repeatability How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.: 0.02 mm

74th pct in class
Axes (DOF) Number of independently driven joints / degrees of freedom. 6 is standard for articulated arms; 4 for SCARA/palletizers; 7 adds elbow redundancy.: 6
Wrist torque Allowable torque at the wrist axis — how much twisting force a tool can apply. Higher handles bigger/offset tools.: 26 N·m

41th pct in class
Wrist inertia Allowable moment of inertia at the wrist — how much rotating mass it can swing without overload. Higher is more capable.: 0.9 kg·m²

41th pct in class

Motion range & speed

Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.

Motion range and maximum speed per joint.

Axis	Range	Max speed
J1	-170° to 170°	800 °/s
J2	—	800 °/s
J3	—	800 °/s
J4	-190° to 190°	800 °/s
J5	-140° to 140°	800 °/s
J6	-450° to 450°	800 °/s

Physical

Size, mass and how it mounts.

Robot weight Mass of the manipulator (arm) without controller. Lighter eases mounting and mobile use; heavier often means stiffer/higher payload.: 255 kg
Mounting Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).: floor, tilted

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power draw Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.: 1,000 W

5th pct in class

Environment

Conditions it can operate in — dust, water, temperature, cleanliness.

IP rating (arm) Ingress protection of the body against dust/water (IEC 60529). First digit = dust, second = water. Higher resists harsher environments.: IP54

5th pct in class
IP rating (wrist) Ingress protection at the wrist, often higher than the body for wet/washdown duty.: IP67

31th pct in class

Safety

Standards met and collaborative-operation capability.

Collaborative Whether the robot is designed to work safely next to people without fencing (power-and-force-limited).: Yes
Cert. cobot payload Payload at which collaborative (force-limited) operation is still certified.: 15 kg
