Key facts

Desktop 4-axis education arm (primary Dobot)

Dobot's Magician product page calls Magician the world's first desktop-grade 4-axis robot and lists tasks including 3D printing, laser engraving, calligraphy, and drawing. It says 13 interface ports support secondary development, lab projects, and robotics curricula covering robotic systems, DH convention, motion control, and programming. Treat 'world's first' as company-stated marketing (Dobot)

Education accessories context (primary Dobot)

The same education product family page lists Magician alongside Magician Lite, Magician E6, Magician Go, and accessory kits including Vision Kit, Sensor Kit for Magician, Basic AI Kit for Magician, and Sliding Rail Kit. Magician is positioned for advanced education and curriculum use (Dobot)

Magician spec table prints 500 g payload and 320 mm reach

Dobot's Magician education page, not the Magician E6 page, prints 4 axes, payload 500 g, maximum reach 320 mm, and repeatability plus or minus 0.2 mm. Communication prints USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Power supply prints 100 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz. Power in prints 12 V / 6.5 A DC, and consumption prints 78 W maximum. Working temperature prints -10 C to 60 C. The Magician E6 is a different robot in the navigation and is not used for these figures (Dobot).

Magician net weight is 3.4 kg, and the gross weights are different lines

The same table prints net weight 3.4 kg, gross weight of the standard version 7.2 kg, and gross weight of the education version 8.0 kg. Those three weights are not added. Base footprint prints 158 mm x 158 mm. Joint maximum speeds are labeled at a 250 g workload. Joint 1 prints 320 degrees/s, joint 2 prints 320 degrees/s, joint 3 prints 320 degrees/s, and joint 4 prints 480 degrees/s. Those joint speeds are not added to the 320 mm reach (Dobot).
