Universal Robots launches UR16e cobot with 16kg payload
Universal Robots is launching its most powerful collaborative robot to date. The UR16e boasts an 16kg payload capability, meaning that carrying heavy end-of-arm tooling and lifting multiple parts in a single pick is achieved quickly and efficiently, thereby reducing cycle times.
Beyond this, the best-of-breed robot is engineered to automate tasks including those that require high levels of precision such as packaging and driving threaded fasteners. This enables manufacturers to relieve their workforce of tedious tasks and redeploy their expertise where it will have the biggest impact on production.
Using UR's patented technology, manufacturers need not worry about investing in expensive training or recruiting a new workforce of specialist robot programmers. The UR16e is engineered to be up and running in a matter of hours and quickly mastered by the existing workforce. This ensures that users can seamlessly integrate the cobot into their production operations. Minimal disruption equals maximum productivity and, ultimately, adds to the bottom line.
The lightweight design ensures that the UR16e cobot is space-saving and flexible to adapt to production line requirements. This agility ensures users can automate almost any manual tasks including those with small batches or fast changeovers.
See the UR16e make its UK debut at the Robots & Automation Expo from 29-30 October 2019 at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
