ABB has set a new benchmark in collaborative robotics with its latest innovation—the GoFa™ CRB 15000 equipped with the Ultra Accuracy feature. This enhancement offers unmatched precision, making GoFa the most path-accurate cobot available, boasting a precision that is ten times greater than other cobots. Designed to meet the strict demands of industries where precision is paramount, such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, and metal fabrication, GoFa with Ultra Accuracy excels in tasks like laser welding, gluing, and 3D printing.

Key Features of GoFa™ with Ultra Accuracy:

  • Path accuracy down to 0.03 mm: Ensures exact execution of complex tasks across its entire workspace.

  • Absolute position accuracy of 0.1 mm: Critical for maintaining tight tolerances and ensuring product quality.

  • Advanced motion control technology: Excels in high-precision applications, reducing errors and operational costs.

GoFa’s integration of offline programming through RobotStudio® guarantees up to 99% accuracy between simulation and real-world application, streamlining deployment and minimizing setup time.

Collaborative Safety and Efficiency

Safety remains at the forefront of ABB’s design. GoFa™ is equipped with integrated torque sensors in each of its six joints, preventing injury by bringing the robot to an immediate stop if any contact with a human is detected. Certified under Category 3, PL d, GoFa provides peace of mind with its safe design, rounded geometry, and superior power and force limiting performance.

Maximizing Productivity

GoFa™ is not only safe and accurate but also efficient. With a Tool Center Point (TCP) speed of up to 2.2 m/s, GoFa is faster than its competitors, performing more operations in less time. This speed is complemented by its reach of up to 1.62 meters—14% longer than comparable cobots—and repeatability of 0.02 mm, positioning GoFa as a top choice for businesses looking to enhance productivity while maintaining precision.

With energy savings of up to 20%, powered by ABB’s OmniCore, GoFa continues to lead in both innovation and sustainability, making it the ideal solution for businesses aiming to optimize operations and reduce environmental impact.
