The UR30 30kg payload collaborative robot (cobot) is built on the same architecture as the manufacturer’s UR20. Despite its compact size, UR30 offers extra lift, and its motion control ensures precise placement of large payloads, allowing it to work at higher speeds and lift heavier loads.
The cobot can be used for applications including machine tending, material handling, and high-torque screw driving.
For machine tending, the high payload brings new possibilities, allowing the cobot to use multiple grippers simultaneously, letting it remove finished parts and load more material in one pass, shortening changeover times.
UR30 will effectively support high-torque screw driving, handling larger and higher-output torque tools. Its steady mode feature allows the UR30 to deliver straight and consistent screw driving.
In addition, the 30kg payload makes UR30 suitable for material handling and palletizing of heavy products, relieving workers of heavy lifting. Its small footprint enables the UR30 to fit into many workspaces. Weighing only 63.5kg, it can also be easily moved between work cells.
