Universal Robots announced that it will expand its product portfolio with a new 30 kg payload cobot.
UR30 is the second in Universal Robots' new series of cobots and is built on the same architecture as the UR20. Despite its compact size, UR30 offers lift, and its motion control ensures placement of large payloads allowing it to work at higher speeds and lift heavier loads, according to the company. This makes UR30 ideal for machine tending, material handling and high torque screw driving. For machine tending, the high payload allows the cobot to use multiple grippers at the same time. This means it can remove finished parts and load more material in one pass, shortening changeover times and maximizing productivity.
