UNIVERSAL ROBOTS URe/UR Series Use-Cases
Ranked Nr. 8 of 218 Cobots
The increased reach enables the further scaling of cobot automation and throughput gains to more demanding, heavier-duty applications.
PACKAGING AND PALLETIZING
Where picking, packing and palletizing of heavy parts is required, the UR20 can help customers gain efficiencies and productivity. The UR20 enables reach for standard EURO pallets, and stacking of up to 2m in height.
MACHINE TENDING
The UR20 offers flexible processing of a diverse range of larger dimension parts to machinery such as cutting, punching, drilling, machining and forming. Mountable in any position the UR20 easily moves around workplace objects such as machine tending doors.
PERFORMANCE ON A WHOLE NEW SCALE.
Redesigned from the ground up, the software brings unprecedented motion control capabilities to the joint architecture, achieving up to 30% greater speed and 25% higher torque within a closed capsule.
PART HANDLING AND ASSEMBLY
Greater payload allows heavier workpiece handling, as well as the option to configure two or more end effectors for even better cycle times. Manufacturing and assembly of large equipment such as diesel engines, driveline, transmission and battery assemblies often require human robot collaboration.
WELDING
In applications where reaching for long seams of parts and components is typically required, the small footprint of the UR20 enables multiple robots be used in the same production cell. New joint architecture improves motion consistency while the larger 1750mm reach geometry increases your work zone.
UR20 Cobot Enables New Palletizing Opportunity at Bob's Red Mill
Problem
Bob's Red Mill faced challenges in its palletizing process due to high labor costs, inconsistent performance, and the physical strain on workers caused by repetitive heavy lifting.
Solution
The company integrated the UR20 cobot into their palletizing line. This cobot is designed for heavy-duty tasks, offering flexibility, precision, and safety features that allow it to work alongside human employees without the need for extensive safety barriers.
Outcome
The implementation of the UR20 cobot resulted in significant cost savings, increased efficiency, and a safer working environment. The cobot's reliability and consistent performance improved overall productivity, allowing workers to focus on less strenuous tasks.
