MG400 is a lightweight desktop robot with a footprint smaller than a piece of A4 paper. Engineered to be lightweight, user-friendly and safe, MG400 can be easily integrated into any production line or lab bench, making it universally accessible and affordable. Because of its cost and capabilities, MG400 thrives in applications with small-scale production, laboratory automation, research and development.

Commercially Available Industrial-Grade Performance 

To maximize MG400’s potential as a productivity tool, professional and reliable performance has been made the top priority since the beginning of the design process.

Key features include:

•  Professional Hardware: MG400 has a controller design based on Linux real-time system, and makes use of the most advanced 1-to-4 servo drive technology.
• High Precision: All axes use low-voltage DC servo motors with high-precision absolute position encoders, and mechanical transmission parts with low backlash. All these put MG400 in a superior position to produce repeatability up to ±0.05mm.
• Lasting Durability: we’ve rigorously tested MG400 to ensure is built with a service life of more than 12,000h (10 hours per day over 3 years)

Born for Desktop Application Scenarios

MG400 is designed with small-scale production in mind. With a 190mm (7.48 inches) ×190mm(7.48 inches)  footprint, the robot is lightweight enough to carry in a backpack, and compact enough to sit on a desk or workbench as well as alongside an existing production line or cell, offering you full flexibility across your business.

Inherently Safe: So Gentle It Can’t Even Hurt a Balloon 

With safety as its core, MG400 adopts an advanced collision detection algorithm with a collision force threshold less than 12N. The robot stops immediately when it touches an obstacle, putting it in the same league as the world’s best cobots.

Cutting Edge Algorithms to Get the Job Done

Vibration Suppression Algorithm: Fulfill Tasks Smoothly & Steadily

The adopted vibration suppression algorithm increases repeatability bandwidth stability by 60% and reduces residual vibration by 70% without affecting the space trajectory accuracy of multi-axis motion. This means that the robot’s tool will move more steadily without jittering, ensuring smooth execution of tasks.

TrueMotion Algorithm for Applications Requiring High-Accuracy Trajectory

MG400 leverages TrueMotion Algorithm, a DOBOT-developed technology featuring speed planning and dynamic algorithm. This allows the robot to deliver accurate trajectories at stable speeds, thus excelling in tasks like dispensing.

Consumer-Level Simplicity 

Teaching MG400 is as Easy as Moving Your Own Hand 

With dynamic gravity compensation algorithm adopted in the robot, first-time users can effortlessly move the robot wherever they like. MG400 will be able to move to these taught with best-in-class precision. 

Multiple Controls for Beginners & Professionals

MG400 is programmable through teach and playback, block program and LUA scripting, suitable for beginners with no programming experience and veteran programmers alike.

10 Minutes to Get MG400 Up and Running

Install the robot on your workbench, plug in power, and connect to your PC using an Ethernet cable or to your tablet via Wi-Fi. Lastly, open up our software and the MG400 is ready to go.

SDK Support for Developers 

For developers to have better access for using robots in their projects, DOBOT MG400 provides support for four programming languages: C, C++, C# and Python. Precompiled dynamic library for WINDOWS and Linux two platforms, along with demo projects for Qt, ROS, LabVIEW, MATLAB platform,  can help our developers to build up their own applications in a short time.

Key Specs

MG400 is the brainchild of DOBOT years’ expertise in controller design, servo drives, control algorithms, software, and hardware. Featuring a maximum payload of 750g(1.65lb), 440mm(17.32 inches) reach and ±0.05mm(0.002 inches) repeatability, the MG400 can handle a variety of repetitive industrial applications without compromising performance. With specs like these, robotic applications such as pick and place, product testing, sorting, dispensing, and inspection have never been so easy and affordable to achieve.
