Enhancing the strength of high-payload cobots will boost throughput and productivity for customers.
Universal Robots, a leading Danish collaborative robot (cobot) company, is raising the stakes with updates to its UR20 and UR30 models. By increasing their payload capacities, these new-gen cobots can now handle heavier loads without any added costs for users. This shift isn't just about heft; it's a game-changer for productivity across diverse applications.
Elevated Payload Capacity for Enhanced Productivity
These upgraded models can now lift total payload of 25 kg and 35 kg respectively in top lift positions. In palletizing scenarios, where speed and efficiency reign supreme, this enhancement is pivotal. Universal Robots is ensuring that partners and customers get immediate access to these features so they can ramp up operational efficiency right away.
Innovation and Cost Efficiency
Tero Tolonen, Chief Product Officer at Universal Robots, quips about their commitment to innovation: "At Universal Robots, we continuously test and develop our products, and when we unlock new features, we want to give partners and customers immediate access." This relentless drive not only pushes tech boundaries but also significantly benefits the bottom line—a clever way to keep clients happy while expanding market reach.
Easy Upgrades for Increased Functionality
The cherry on top? Current UR20 and UR30 users can tap into these beefed-up capabilities without shelling out more cash. The upgrade process is streamlined; just a quick nudge to the PolyScope software version 5.19 or later does the trick. All new units rolling out this year will come pre-loaded with the necessary software for those higher payloads—easy peasy!
First Showcase at Industry Fair
The newly enhanced capabilities were flaunted recently at an industry fair in Shanghai, where the UR20’s strength in palletizing applications dazzled attendees. Demonstrations like these do more than showcase tech—they underscore Universal Robots' mission to make automation accessible to all players in the game.
