As is standard with all robots in the collaborative range, the CR-15iA's sensor is housed in the robot's base. The fact that the robot is mounted on its base increases its working area and make s it easier to load high stacks of cartons onto pallets.

The CR-15iA has a working envelope of 1.441 m and a height of 2.413 m. It can handle a payload of 15 kg, making it highly appreciated in the handling sector.

On the CR-15iA, as with other collaborative robots in the range, the angular motion of the axes is modified to avoid pinching the operator on axes 2 and 3. The collaborative mode is activated by default but can be deactivated via the DCS function if higher robot speed is desired.
