GoFa™ CRB: compact and high-performance, up to 5 kg load capacity

ABB is expanding its cobot offering with the introduction of the 6-axis GoFa™ CRB (Collaborative RoBot) 15000, with a load capacity of up to 5 kg, the highest in its portfolio. As the name suggests, GoFa™ is designed to “go the extra mile” in safely collaborating alongside the operator to automate the most repetitive and ergonomically challenging tasks.

Compact and portable, weighing 27 kg and with a footprint of only 165 mm², GoFa can be mounted in any direction. The reach of 950 mm exceeds that of standard 5 kg cobots by about 12% and is capable of operating at up to 2.2 meters per second, making it the fastest cobot in its class.

Safe design and intuitive programming. To provide superior power and force limiting performance, ensuring safe interaction even in tight work environments, GoFa is equipped with intelligent torque and positioning sensors in each of its six joints that detect human presence and any unexpected contact between the operator and the cobot arm, causing it to stop in milliseconds and eliminating the risk of injury.

Another feature is the inclusion of the SafeMove visual safety configurator on GoFa’s FlexPendant. An interactive status light, which changes color between white, green, yellow and red depending on the cobot’s operating mode (standby, programming, operation or shutdown) also allows users to instantly ascertain its status.

Lead-through programming and the new ABB Wizard Easy Programming software, based on simple commands/graphics blocks that can be linked together to create complete programs, make the configuration of GoFa automation applications simple and accessible even to non-specialists, without requiring any knowledge of programming languages.
