DOBOT MG400

Desktop four-axis arm for flexible small-batch production.

Overview

This lightweight four-axis robotic arm is engineered for desktop use in flexible small-batch production. Its integrated controller and servo drive minimise its footprint, allowing it to occupy less space than an A4 sheet. It supports direct teaching methods and features collision detection for safe operation without physical barriers.

Where it performs

  • Compact footprint integrates controller and servo drive into the base.
  • Supports direct manual guidance for programming without complex coding.
  • Collision detection allows safe deployment in shared workspaces.

What to check before buying

  • Payload capacity is limited to 0.75 kg maximum, restricting heavier loads.
  • IP20 rating means it is not protected against water or significant dust.
  • Maximum speed is only published for joints, not the end-effector's linear speed.
