Overview
Ultra-compact desktop 4-axis SCARA-style cobot with a footprint smaller than an A4 sheet of paper. Designed for light pick-and-place, dispensing, PCB handling, and education. Offers drag-to-teach and vibration suppression at a fraction of the cost of full-size cobots.
Will the Dobot MG400 do your task? Simulate it before you buy.
Four cobots on the same palletizing task, simulated before purchase.
We build your station in a simulator with the Dobot MG400 and one or two alternatives, and send you video plus cycle time, parts per shift, reach and payload check, and a payback estimate. Scoping is free, and every project is quoted individually.
