Performance That Delivers Real Value
Industrial Reliability
UFACTORY cobots are engineered for dependable, consistent, long-term operation, utilizing industrial-grade harmonic reducers and servo motors to maintain stable performance across demanding workflows.
Compact and Lightweight
Carbon-fiber construction keeps xArm ultra-light at 11.3–14.3 kg (depending on model) with a compact Ø126 mm footprint for simpler transport, mounting, and redeployment.
What makes the arm really stand out is the compact controller lineup. Whether mounted under a table or inside a cabinet, the space-saving AC control box (269 × 178 × 86 mm, 3.4 kg) keeps standard installations tidy. For mobile platforms and battery-powered deployments, the DC controller option (209 × 176 × 82 mm, 2.5kg) supports a simpler, lighter integration.
Easy Programming and Control
UFACTORY Studio is accessible through any modern web browser on Mac or Windows, or as a downloadable desktop application. A drag-and-drop graphical interface, hand-guiding function, and guided tutorials support fast deployment of automation tasks without requiring prior development experience.

Simulation Ready
Compatible with leading simulation platforms including Gazebo, RoboDK, MuJoCo, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. Test motions, validate projects, and train AI policies in virtual environments before deploying to the real robot.
Safe by Design
Built-in collision detection monitors for unexpected contact and triggers an automatic protective stop to support safe human–robot collaboration.
Self-Collision Detection prevents unintended contact between robot joints, protecting the arm from mechanical stress and hardware damage.
Configurable Safety Controls
Configure safety boundaries and motion limits (TCP speed, joint speed, and joint range) in UFACTORY Studio for controlled, predictable operation.
Connect external safety devices via I/O and set the robot’s response in software (Stop, Reduced, or Safeguard Stop) to support safer workflows and simpler cell integration.
Add a UFACTORY 6-axis force torque sensor for precise force detection in close-contact applications such as rehabilitation, massage, and research.
Integrate with the Tools You Need
UFACTORY products are built for open integration, connecting seamlessly with both official accessories and trusted third-party solutions. Standard mechanical interfaces, wrist I/O, developer SDKs, and support for standard industrial protocols speed up integration and customization, helping you adapt as needs evolve.
