The ABB GoFa™ CRB 15000 is a high-performance collaborative robot (cobot) designed for industrial automation, machine tending, assembly, welding, screwdriving, palletizing, material handling, packaging, and other manufacturing applications.
GoFa combines high precision, fast motion, integrated safety functions, easy programming, and flexible installation. It is designed to work in close proximity to people, allowing companies to automate production processes without necessarily separating the robot from operators with traditional safety fencing, subject to application-specific risk assessment.
The GoFa family is available in 5 kg, 10 kg and 12 kg payload versions, making it suitable for applications ranging from precision assembly to heavier material handling and machine tending.

GoFa can help businesses automate repetitive operations while allowing workers and robots to share production environments, subject to a proper safety assessment of the complete application.
GoFa can load and unload CNC machines and other production equipment, helping automate repetitive machine-tending operations.
High repeatability and flexible programming make GoFa suitable for:
With suitable end-of-arm tooling and integration, GoFa can be configured for collaborative welding applications.
GoFa can automate:
The optional Ultra Accuracy functionality makes GoFa suitable for applications where precise path following is important, including gluing, sealing and precision cutting.
ABB GoFa is designed to reduce the complexity of robot programming.
Operators can use lead-through programming to move the robot and teach positions directly. ABB also provides graphical programming tools and SafeMove configuration through the FlexPendant.
This makes GoFa particularly attractive for companies introducing collaborative robotics without wanting a highly complex programming workflow.
GoFa includes integrated torque sensing and ABB's SafeMove Collaborative technology.
The system is designed to detect contact and provide safety functions for collaborative applications. ABB specifies functional safety certification to Category 3, PL d for the relevant safety functions.
Important: whether fencing can actually be omitted depends on the complete application, tooling, payload, speed, environment and risk assessment. ABB itself notes that collaborative speed may need to be reduced depending on the application layout.
