Dobot Robotics
Four-axis desktop collaborative robot with 440 mm reach and 0.75 kg payload. Delivers ±0.05 mm repeatability in a compact 190 mm x 190 mm footprint. Drag-and-teach programming, collision detection, and support for Modbus, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, and ROS. Ideal for pick and place, lab automation, light assembly, and precision handling in space-constrained environments.
The Dobot MG400 is a compact four-axis articulated robot arm engineered for benchtop automation, desktop research, and light industrial tasks requiring precise small-part handling in limited spaces.
The MG400 series from Dobot fits easily on a desktop, with a 190 mm x 190 mm footprint. The four-axis mechanical design is ideal for planar operations and offers straightforward deployment. Native drag-to-teach programming and graphical interfaces lower setup barriers, whether for teaching, research, or small-batch runs. Integration is simple with protocol support for Modbus, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP and Robot Operating System (ROS), alongside DobotStudio and DobotLink environments. Collision detection and a robust servo system deliver reliability for lab automation, test stands, and flexible production.
The Dobot MG400 frequently serves as a benchtop robot arm for researchers, developers, and production engineers optimizing workspace and task repeatability.
The Dobot MG400 is not a traditional cobot with dual safe-certified sensors but offers collaborative features such as drag-to-teach and lightweight operation for flexible deployment in research, education, and light industry.
The Dobot MG400 is suitable for both beginners and experienced users, thanks to drag-to-teach operation and visual programming in DobotStudio, with advanced scripting also available for developers through Lua and ROS.
Return on investment depends on application, but as a compact, affordable alternative to larger cobots, the MG400 often delivers lower initial costs and quicker deployment for small-batch automation.
The Dobot MG400 is a four-axis benchtop robot built for small parts and tight spaces, where a full-size six-axis industrial arm would be impractical. Choose it when footprint, ease of programming, and low setup cost matter more than heavy payload or complex 3D reach.
