Reach
The CRX-10iA/L reaches 1418 mm, about 118 mm beyond the CR10A. In palletizing that extra reach adds stack height and pallet coverage; in machine tending it lets one arm serve two machines. When the cell fits inside 1.3 m, the CR10A covers it at half the listed price.
Precision and protection
DOBOT publishes ±0.03 mm for the CR10A against ±0.05 mm for the CRX-10iA/L. FANUC rates the CRX-10iA/L IP67 for the body, wrist and J3 arm; DOBOT names IP54 for the CRA series, which suits dry cells but not coolant or washdown.
Programming and controllers
The CRX series uses drag-and-drop tablet programming and hand guiding on the R-30iB Mini Plus. The CR10A uses DOBOT's own graphical software and hand guiding. Both arms weigh about 40 kg, so mounting on carts and pedestals is similar.
