UR20

UR20: The fastest cobot for heavy loads

The UR20 robot sets new standards in collaborative robotics. As Universal Robots’ most powerful cobot, it combines high payload capacity, exceptional reach and maximum efficiency – all within a surprisingly compact design. This makes the UR20 ideal for modern production environments where heavy objects need to be moved precisely and reliably over long distances.

Thanks to its extremely small footprint, the UR20 can be easily integrated into existing work environments without taking up valuable production space. At the same time, it opens up entirely new possibilities for automating applications that were previously unfeasible due to reach or weight limitations.

More power. More possibilities.

With the latest upgrade, the UR20 robot gains an additional payload capacity of +5 kg, increasing the maximum payload to 25 kg. This enhancement enables companies to handle even heavier components whilst making their processes more efficient.

In addition to the increased payload capacity, users benefit from optimised motion sequences and even more precise control at high speeds. This leads to improved process quality, reduced cycle times and higher overall productivity. The UR20 really comes into its own in applications with high demands on speed and accuracy – such as in series production.

A further advantage arises when using the so-called top-lift position. Here, the increased payload enables additional productivity gains without the need for larger or additional cobots. Companies can thus efficiently expand their existing automation solutions without having to make substantial investments in new equipment.

The new payload increase will be available with the launch of PolyScope 5.19 and, in addition to the hardware improvement, also brings software optimisations.

Scalability to meet your requirements

When selecting a cobot, payload and reach are not the only factors to consider. Modern automation solutions must also be flexible, user-friendly and sustainable. The UR20 robot meets all these requirements and also offers the greatest reach and highest payload within the UR portfolio.

Its design is specifically tailored to handle demanding tasks where heavy loads need to be moved over long distances. At the same time, the UR20 impresses with its ease of use and quick commissioning, allowing even companies without extensive robotics experience to benefit from its advantages.

Despite its performance capabilities, the UR20 remains an easily integrable cobot. Its sleek design and compact build allow it to be installed almost anywhere – whether directly on production lines, in confined workspaces or as part of mobile automation solutions.

Versatile applications

The UR20 is a true all-rounder and covers a wide range of industrial applications. These include, amongst others:

• Material handling: Efficient movement of heavy workpieces or components
• Machine tending: Reliable loading and unloading of machines
• Welding: Precise and consistent welding processes
• Palletising: Fast and safe stacking of products
• Assembly processes: Support for complex manufacturing tasks

Thanks to its high flexibility, the UR20 can be easily adapted to changing production requirements, thereby contributing to the sustainable optimisation of the entire value chain.

Maximum productivity and precision

As the fastest cobot in its class, the UR20 robot enables a significant increase in throughput. Companies can accelerate their production processes, reduce bottlenecks and simultaneously improve the quality of their results.

A key factor here is the advanced motion control. The UR20 robot offers outstanding motion control, ensuring precise and smooth movements even at maximum payload and full reach. This not only minimises errors but also reduces wear and tear and extends the system’s service life.

Efficiency meets future-proofing

The UR20 robot was developed to support companies in scaling their automation strategies. With its combination of performance, flexibility and compact design, it represents a future-proof investment.

Businesses benefit from higher utilisation, lower operating costs and improved competitiveness. At the same time, the collaborative approach enables safe cooperation between humans and machines, giving rise to new working models and more efficient processes.
