X-Arm 6

Built by UFACTORY · China

Updated May 2026·methodology

Overview

A versatile robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom and a 5kg payload capacity, suitable for a wide range of applications that require maneuverability and strength.

Flagship features

  • Ultra cost-effective design for tight budgets; marketed as ½ the price of comparable 6-axis arms
  • Industrial-grade actuators for 24/7 operation
  • Built-in control box for space-saving (integrated in arm base for Lite 6; separate box for X-ARM 6)
  • Hand teaching (drag-to-teach) and collision detection for safe human-robot collaboration
  • Open-source Python/C++ SDK and ROS/ROS2 packages on GitHub (github.com/xArm-Developer)
  • Web-based UFACTORY Studio GUI runs in browser, compatible with macOS, Windows, Ubuntu
