Description
Universal Robots specializes in collaborative robots, also known as cobots, which are engineered for industrial-grade performance. These robots enable scalable automation solutions that improve productivity and reduce downtime across various sectors, including electronics, metal fabrication, logistics, and education. With payloads reaching up to 35 kg and a reach of up to 1750 mm, these robots can be deployed in minutes, making them a versatile choice for manufacturers looking to accelerate their return on investment (ROI).
The UR Series and e-Series are two main families of collaborative robots offered by Universal Robots. The UR Series includes models such as UR8 Long, UR15, UR18, UR20, and UR30, which provide different payload and reach options to suit various applications. The e-Series, launched in 2018, includes UR3e, UR7e, UR12e, and UR16e, designed for reliable collaborative automation in diverse environments. Both series are built with advanced joint architecture, allowing for higher speeds and heavier payloads, ensuring that they meet the demands of modern manufacturing.
Universal Robots' cobots are designed to handle repetitive and ergonomically challenging tasks with precision and consistency. They can significantly reduce cycle times and minimize downtime, delivering measurable productivity gains. The flexibility of these robots allows for quick reconfiguration to automate different manual tasks, making them ideal for environments with small batches or fast changeovers. With repeatability down to ±0.03 mm, Universal Robots ensures that every movement is accurate, reducing variability and maintaining high product quality standards.
The company has sold over 100,000 cobots worldwide, helping industry leaders transform their operations. Universal Robots provides a complete solution with certified end effectors, vision systems, and software for seamless integration. Their UR+ marketplace offers access to over 500 certified kits and components, allowing businesses to optimize their automation projects. Additionally, Universal Robots Academy offers training resources to help users master the programming and deployment of their robots, ensuring that businesses can fully leverage the benefits of automation.
