What is the Aubo i7?
The i7 extends Aubo's platform upward, offering a practical middle ground between entry-level and heavyweight automation. Its 1000 mm reach covers standard work cells; its 7 kg payload handles mid-weight components.
Who is it for?
Manufacturers stepping up from light assembly to medium-weight tasks, integrators building scalable multi-robot systems, and contract manufacturers needing flexible platforms across product lines.
Key Specifications

How it Compares
Payload sits between UR5e (5 kg) and UR10e (10 kg). Reach matches most mid-range competitors. Price point undercuts UR by ~25% in comparable class.
Limitations
7 kg payload still limits heavy sub-assembly tasks. Extended reach slightly increases calibration demands vs. shorter-reach models.
FAQ
What tasks are best suited for i7?
Automotive sub-assembly, appliance component handling, electronics packaging, and machine loading where 5 kg is marginal and 10 kg unnecessary.
How does cost compare to UR5e?
Aubo i7 typically 20–25% lower TCO over 5 years. Warranty and support terms vary by distributor in your region.
Is it vertically scalable to larger Aubo models?
Yes. Programming translates across Aubo platform (i5, i7, i10, i16, i20). Same cloud interface and teach pendant.
What safety ratings apply?
ISO/TS 15066 compliant. Force limits enable collaborative operation without guarding in most production scenarios.
Can it handle precision welding?
Not suitable for arc welding due to thermal stress and vibration. Suitable for adhesive application, spot tacking, and sealing where precision is critical.
