UR30 Overview

What is UR30?

The UR30 is a robust collaborative robot designed for heavy-duty applications, featuring a 30 kg payload capacity and a generous 1300 mm reach while maintaining a compact footprint with a diameter of 245 mm. Building on the architecture of the UR20, the UR30 offers exceptional lift capabilities, enabling it to efficiently tend to larger machines, palletize heavy products, and support high torque screw driving. The robot's high torque joints and force torque sensor ensure precise screw driving, even in challenging and hard-to-reach areas, promoting consistent and accurate performance.

With a focus on safety, the UR30 comes equipped with built-in safety features, including force-sensing technology and collision detection, allowing it to work collaboratively with human operators without the need for safety barriers or cages. The safety functions developed by the engineers set benchmarks for safe collaboration with industrial robots, prioritizing the well-being of operators. The UR30's motion control has been optimized through software enhancements, reducing stress on the arm mechanics and joint architecture, enabling it to operate at full speed and accelerations even when lifting the maximum payload at the maximum reach.

The UR30's versatility extends to various applications, including palletizing, machine tending, dispensing, finishing, material handling, material removal, quality inspection, welding, and more. Beyond its technical capabilities, the UR30 offers fast deployment, space-saving design, and lower power consumption compared to traditional industrial robots. The collaborative robot is also future-proof, allowing for changes in the center of gravity and end-effector configurations. With on-site cobot support directly from UR's Field Service Engineers, users can ensure the longevity and optimal performance of their UR30 in industrial automation setups.

What applications is UR30 product best for?

1. High Torque Screw Driving: The UR30's ability to handle higher torque makes it ideal for applications requiring precise and consistent screw driving, especially in areas challenging for human reach.

2. Multiple Gripper Machine Tending: With support for multiple grippers, the UR30 is well-suited for machine tending applications where tasks like removing pieces, cleaning parts, and placing new stock can be accomplished in a single pass, maximizing productivity.

3. Palletizing Heavy Parts: The UR30 excels in palletizing heavy products, ensuring perfect pallet placement with consistent speed, preventing injuries and accidents associated with lifting heavy items.

4. Collaborative Welding: Leveraging its collaborative and safe features, the UR30 can be employed in welding applications, working alongside human operators without the need for safety barriers or cages, promoting a safe working environment.

5. Precision Material Removal: The high torque joints and force torque sensor of the UR30 make it suitable for applications involving precision material removal, where accuracy and consistency are crucial for optimal results.

The R&D project was about building an Automated Paint System using an UR3 robot and a special spray gun. PROS Easy to set up and create simple programs Lightweight High Quality Materials CONS Expensive both cobot itself and tools Programming skills necessary for creating necessary paths and more complex programs Very limited Reach

We use this robot in an experiment with end-users trying a block-based language for mobile robots. UR5 was mounted on top of a MiR 250 mobile robot, and it was used by the participants to solve a pick-and-place task using our block-based language. In general, I must say that this is a very solid robot. Universal Robots, in my personal opinion, is one of (if not the) best companies in terms of software development support. Using their API we were able to implement the language as we wanted. The robot itself is also very easy to manipulate using lead-through mode; the participants in our experiment had no issues manipulating it. In terms of operating system and configuration, Universal Robots is also really good, no issues at all.
