Partner in the DOBOT Ecosystem

Büren / Frankfurt – September 2026 – Automation made easy: ToolDrives, a specialist in compact and high-performance machining units for mechanical material processing, is now an official partner in the DOBOT Ecosystem. This partnership is the result of numerous successfully implemented customer projects and sets new standards for automated machining with cobots. Integrated solutions for milling, drilling, deburring, grinding, and threading Demands on modern manufacturing processes are constantly rising: high repeatability, short cycle times, and maximum flexibility are essential—especially for demanding applications such as milling, drilling, deburring, and grinding. To meet these needs, ToolDrives offers highly compact, extremely robust spindle solutions specifically designed for use with industrial robots and cobots. Integration into the DOBOT Ecosystem now makes using these tools even easier and more efficient for customers and users. New plugin for the DOBOT CR series: Plug & play in practice To significantly simplify setup and operation, ToolDrives and DOBOT have developed a custom software plugin. This enables direct connection of ToolDrives components to DOBOT CR series cobots. Key benefits of the integration at a glance: • Centralized operation: Programming, configuration, and control of ToolDrives tools take place directly via the familiar DOBOT control interface. • Reduced integration effort: The ready-made software interface eliminates the need for complex customization, saving system integrators and end users valuable time during setup. • Maximum process reliability: Predefined modules and optimized parameters ensure stable machining processes from the very first minute. "Our goal was to make the transition to automated processing as easy as possible for the customer. Thanks to the new plugin for the DOBOT CR series, the robot and tool merge into a single functional unit," stated the testing team.
