UNIVERSAL ROBOTS UR3E
4.6/5 (41)
Payload 3kg | Reach 500mm

The UR3e by Universal Robots (UR) is a state-of-the-art collaborative table-top robot designed for light assembly and workbench automation. Weighing only 24.3 lbs (11 kg), the UR3e is the smallest and most lightweight robot in the UR series. Despite its compact size, it boasts a robust 6.6 lbs (3 kg) payload capacity, making it an excellent choice for manufacturers and researchers seeking a flexible, yet powerful automation solution.

One of the most impressive features of the UR3e is its full ±360-degree rotation on all wrist joints, which allows for a greater range of motion and enhanced flexibility when completing tasks. Additionally, the UR3e has infinite rotation at the end joint, allowing it to perform tasks with greater precision and accuracy.

The UR3e is also equipped with advanced safety features, including force sensing, speed and separation monitoring, and power and force limiting, making it suitable for use in collaborative work environments where it can work alongside human operators without compromising safety.

The UR3e is easy to program and can be set up quickly without the need for specialized training or extensive technical knowledge. Its intuitive programming interface and compatibility with a wide range of peripherals, including grippers, sensors, and cameras, make it an ideal solution for a variety of industries and applications.

Overall, the UR3e is a powerful, versatile, and compact collaborative robot that can be used in a range of industries and applications, including light assembly, quality control, pick-and-place, and research and development. Its flexibility, advanced safety features, and intuitive programming interface make it an excellent choice for manufacturers and researchers seeking a high-performance automation solution.

Payload 2kg | Reach 600mm

With the ReBeL series, igus® introduces for the first time low-cost robotics strain wave gears at HMI 2018, with which 6 DOF robots, i.e. with six axes, can be implemented. This prototype was created in collaboration with the company Commonplace Robotics GmbH and is fundamentally different to the previous robolink® joints: Instead of stepper motors, light, brushless direct current motors (BLDC motors), which already belong to the state of the art in service robotics, are used.
