Frequently Asked Questions
GoFa Ultra Accuracy achieves path accuracy of 0.03 mm and absolute position accuracy of 0.1 mm, delivering over 10 times greater precision than standard cobots. This makes it ideal for laser welding, gluing small components, and precision cutting where exact positioning is critical for quality.
GoFa features integrated torque sensors in all six joints that detect any unexpected contact and immediately bring the robot to a stop. Combined with its rounded geometry, no pinch points, low mass, and ISO safety standard compliance (Category 3, PL d), it safely works alongside humans without barriers.
GoFa is available in 5 kg, 10 kg, and 12 kg payload variants. The 5 kg variant has a reach of 0.95 m (wrist), the 10 kg variant reaches 1.52 m, and the 12 kg variant has 1.27 m reach. Each variant is optimized for different application requirements and lifting needs.
GoFa features an intuitive graphical interface directly on the FlexPendant with drag-and-drop App programming. Lead-through programming allows operators to guide the robot through desired motions manually. Setup is simple enough for first-time users while supporting advanced RobotStudio offline programming for experienced users.
Yes, GoFa integrates seamlessly with existing factory systems. It supports multiple communication protocols, works with external equipment like grippers and sensors, and is compatible with ABB's OmniCore controller platform and various third-party manufacturing execution systems.
GoFa comes with standard warranty coverage and access to ABB's global 24/7 technical support network. Extended warranty options, condition-based maintenance services, training programs, and integration support are also available to ensure successful deployment.
