Universal Robots’ UR20 boasts an all-new design based on Universal Robots’ experience in highly refined engineering.
The UR20 features an entirely new joint design that is said to enable even faster cycle times, as well as the ability to handle heavier loads. Its 1,750-mm reach has been designed to work to the full height of the standard Euro-pallet, which the company says will transform the way businesses package and palletize. Its small footprint will enable companies to achieve more within their existing production space. The cobot is said to boast a 44-lb. payload and 69" reach.
In addition to palletizing, Universal Robots expects the UR20 to be used for welding, material handling, machine loading and machine tending, as well as for innovative solutions created by its extensive partner ecosystem.
Universal Robots’ engineers have completely re-engineered the arm while retaining the same user interface as previous models. According to the company, the benefits of the UR20 include significant advances in cycle times and the ability to handle heavier loads. The cobot also features advanced software enhancements, which is said to give users unprecedented motion control capabilities.
