Meeting the world's No. 1 company in collaborative robotics 

Robot Universal is more than just a name. We set a global market ambition when naming the company Universal Robots. UR robotic arms can be applied in any industry, any process and by any employee.

Around the world, over 10,000* robots in action are proof of that – and of the clear goal we set out from the beginning: To bring collaborative robotics technology to all businesses of any size. 

Robots are our life. So whether you are looking for a robotic solution for precision efficiency, speed, optimization or ergonomics, we can help. You will be surprised by the price of Universal Robots products.

Our Universal 6-axis robotic arms have an average payback period of just 195 days within the reach of any business, making Universal Robots the most sought after product in the market. But this is exactly why Universal Robots' collaborative robot is number one in the world.

When working next to our TUV certified robots, you're always on the safe side. The UR robot can work collaboratively right next to employees because the built-in force sensor causes the robot to automatically stop operating when they encounter obstacles in their path.

The robots can be programmed to operate in active reduction mode when employees enter the work area

However, when we talk about cooperation, we don't just apply that term to safety. We use this term in a much broader sense; while safety is a must, we believe that cooperation is more about user-friendliness, ease of re-operation and accessibility.

In our view, cooperation is the foundation of the future – and we are here to bring the future to you.


Robotic arms - 5 lightning-fast benefits of your business

 

Simple Programming


 The days of hiring expensive outside consultants every time you have to program a robot are over.

Here's the new reality: Even inexperienced employees can quickly program the UR robotic arm thanks to its patented intuitive 3D display. All the operator needs to do is move the robot arm to the desired coordinates or tap the arrow keys on the easy-to-use touchscreen tablet.
 

Quick Installation

Even untrained operators are surprised when they install UR robotic arms for the first time.

Unboxing, assembling the robot, and programming the first simple tasks usually takes less than an hour of work. According to our customers' experience, the average time to complete an installation is only half a day.


Flexible Deployment


Today, product installations need to be flexible and fast to meet ever-changing and highly competitive needs. Universal Robots never restricts you; in contrast, our lightweight UR robotic arms are easy to move and redeploy to new processes, allowing you to automate virtually any manual task, including those with a very little activity or constant change.
 

Collaboration and safety

Universal Robots has been a pioneer in collaborative robotics since the term was born so rest assured that you are in the best of your safety when you choose our robot. More than 80% of the UR robotic arms in operation around the world work side-by-side with humans – without the need for safeguards to shield them. Collaborative robots are always ready to do repetitive and boring tasks for operators.


Fastest payback in the industry

If you used to think that automation was always out of reach for your business, it's time to change your mind. The UR collaborative robotic arm delivers an average payback period of 195 days. It's the fastest payback time in the industry – for the simple reason that when applied to process automation, UR collaborative robots don't incur the ancillary costs typically incurred with traditional robots such as manpower and equipment. Outsourced programming fees, special-use working areas in the factory are strictly protected to ensure labor safety.

Universal’s UR Collaborative Robots (COBOT)

 

Flexibility, intelligence, durability and outstanding precision – these are all characteristics of UR robotic arms. The UR family has three members: UR3, UR5 and UR10 – each robot is named after its weight in kilograms, and each member has outstanding cooperation ability that makes enterprises prefer to use it on the production lines.
 

UR3 robotic arms

The smallest member of the UR family, the UR3 robots that can be placed on the tabletop are the perfect choice for light assembly tasks and the jobs that require absolute precision. With 360-degree rotation across all wrist joints and infinite rotation at the joint end, the UR3 is the most versatile, versatile and collaborative robot on the market today.

Maximum payload 3 kg (6.6 lbs). Reach radius up to 500 mm (19.7 in)


UR5 robotic arms

​​​​​​​


The UR5 slightly larger is ideal for automating lightweight handling tasks such as picking up, putting down and checking.

The medium-sized robotic arms are easy to program, quick to set up, and like the rest of the UR family, the UR5 robots offer the fastest payback time in the manufacturing industry.

Maximum payload is 5 kg (11 lbs). Reach radius is up to 850 mm (33.5 in).
​​​​​​​

UR10 robotic arms

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The largest and strongest robotic arms in the UR universal robot family. Robot UR10 still ensures high accuracy in operation.

The collaborative robotic arm will automate heavier weight handling tasks with payload requirements up to 10 kg.

Thanks to its reach radius of 1300 mm, the UR10 robotic arm is particularly well suited for tasks such as packing, palletizing products/shelf, assembling, lifting and placing in remote production areas. wide.

Maximum payload 10 kg (22 lbs). Reach radius up to 1300 mm (51.2 in)
 

 

Application of the Universal Robotic Arms

The UR universal robotic arm can automate all tasks in industrial production, from assembly to painting, from screwing to labeling, from packaging to polishing, from injection molding to welding and any task you can think of.

Thanks to the versatility of the UR family, robotic arms offer economic efficiency for small production lines as well as complex assembly systems.
