FAQ – DOBOT CRAF series
What is the difference between CRA and CRAF?
CRAF uses the mechanical base of CRA and adds a 6-axis force/torque sensor integrated into the flange. This improves contact operations (polishing, fitting, insertion) and manual guidance.
Do I need to calibrate the force sensor before use?
No: the sensor is specified as factory-calibrated, with no additional calibration needed to get started.
Is CRAF easier to program for contact tasks?
Yes: drag teaching and force feedback make tuning easier and improve robustness for polishing/grinding and delicate assembly.
Which model should I choose: CR5AF, CR10AF or CR20AF?
The right choice depends on payload, reach, and the forces to be measured. CR5AF for compact/precise, CR10AF for a versatile compromise, CR20AF for long reach/heavy payloads and higher forces.
Can I use a gripper and a vision camera with CRAF?
Yes: the sensor integration is specified as not blocking tool ports, to remain compatible with peripherals (grippers, vision, etc.).
What impacts quality most in polishing/assembly?
The tool + part set (weight/rigidity), the path, and above all the target contact force (tolerances, surface, variations). Describing the task precisely (forces, speed, material, geometry) helps size the model and the end-effector.
