Key facts
- Per-model values confirmed on UFACTORY's spec page: payload 3 kg, reach 700 mm, 5 axes, repeatability ±0.1 mm, arm weight 11.3 kg, max speed 1 m/s (UFACTORY does not say whether this is TCP speed).
- xArm-line values, not confirmed for the xArm 5 alone (UFACTORY's comparison table is flattened in the fetched page), so not recorded in specs: operating temperature 0-50 °C, typical power 200 W / max 500 W, ISO Class 5 cleanroom, CE marking, joint ranges. Treat them as xArm-line statements.
- No xArm 5 price: the US$5,299-5,494 on UFACTORY's store belongs to the xArm 5 Lite (store page options are all 'xArm 5 Lite + Control Box'). A reseller (RobotShop) was not reachable, so no xArm 5 price was sourced.
- The xArm 6 (5 kg) and xArm 7 (3.5 kg) share the 700 mm reach.
