Overview
6-axis collaborative robot arm from Chinese maker Elite Robots (艾利特), the EC-series sibling of the CS66: 6 kg payload, 914 mm radius, ±0.03 mm repeatability and a 17.5 kg arm with IP54 protection and a Ø150 mm footprint. It is sold with an AC/DC controller and a resistive-touch teach pendant, or with an optional OEM 'Mini' DC controller. Elite lists it for machine tending, inspection and assembly, and it is the EC-line counterpart of the IP65 CS66.
Will the Elite Robots EC66 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 Elite Robots EC66 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contact | 2026-10-17 | EC66 (914 mm) | Elite Robots | No public list price: Elite's site shows the EC66 only as a listing card (6 kg / 914 mm / ±0.03 mm) and its /cobots/ec66 page redirects to the cobot listing; no fetched dealer page showed an EC66 price. No 京东/天猫 price found. |

USD = EUR 16,875 x 1.1253 (ECB reference rate USD per EUR, 2026-10-16). |

Key facts
- Official datasheet 'EC-Series v1.1, EC66' (linked from eliterobots.com/download, fetched 2026-10-17): payload 6 kg, radius 914 mm, accuracy ±0.03 mm, J1-J2 150°/s, J3 190°/s, IP54, -10 to 50 °C, typical power 250 W, Ø150 mm footprint, 17.5 kg, 5.5 m cable, certifications ISO 10218, RoHS, UL, CE, CR, KCs.
- Speed: 1.5 m/s is the 'typical TCP speed' on the official v1.1 EC66 datasheet (fetched 2026-10-17); it is a typical, not a maximum, value. A reseller-hosted v3.2 datasheet copy quotes 2.8 m/s max, but it was not fetched from a cited URL, so it is not used.
- Elite's site lists the EC66 beside the CS66 (both 6 kg / 914 mm / ±0.03 mm); the EC line is the lower-cost series, the CS66 adds IP65 and the larger 12.1-inch pendant. Elite's product page /cobots/ec66 redirected to /cobots when fetched, so the card and the download-center datasheet are the official sources.
- Elite's cobots page also lists EC63, EC64, EC68-08, EC612 and EC616 under the EC series.
- Controllers: standard AC/DC controller 505 x 448 x 245 mm, IP44, 15 kg, 16 DI/20 DO/2 AI/4 AO; optional OEM 'Mini' DC controller 205 x 135 x 44 mm, 1.2 kg, IP40, 45-55 VDC; teach pendant 290 x 225 x 118 mm, IP54, 800 x 600 resistive touch screen.
- Interfaces: Ethernet TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus TCP/RTU, RS485/RS232, EtherNet/IP slave, Profinet slave, CC-Link slave.
- Image: Elite's EC66 listing render (eliterobots.com card, 620 px source, transparency laid on white); below the 800 px source guideline.
- Launch year is not stated on any fetched Elite page, so year_available is empty. The datasheet lists LUA-script and free-drag/offline programming. SDK and ROS support are NOT DOCUMENTED in the fetched datasheet (recorded false only because the schema needs a boolean; not confirmed absent; Elite's GitHub was not checked).
- KNOWN GAP: image is a 620 px source (below the 800 px rule) and the robot fills only part of the frame; no larger official render was found. Replace when one is available.
