Universal Robots, the Danish (based in Odense) manufacturer of collaborative robots (cobots), has announced that it will expand its product portfolio with a new 30 kg payload cobot.
UR30 is the second in Universal Robot’s new series of cobots and is built on the same architecture as the UR20. Despite its compact size, UR30 offers extraordinary lift, and its motion control ensures the perfect placement of large payloads, resulting in higher speeds and heavier loads.
The UR30 is targeted at several applications, including machine tending, material handling and high torque screw driving. For machine tending, the high payload allows the cobot to use multiple grippers at the same time. This means it can remove finished parts and load more material in one single pass, shortening changeover times.
UR30 supports high torque screw driving as it can handle larger and higher-output torque tools, and thanks to a steady mode feature, UR30 delivers straight and consistent screw driving. This will be beneficial in, for example, the automotive industry.
Its 30 kg payload enables UR30 to fit into applications like material handling and palletizing of heavy products across all industries, while its small footprint makes it a fit into almost all workspaces–relieving humans of the heavy lifting. Weighing only 63.5 kg, it can be moved between work cells with ease.
