UR16E Overview

What is UR16E?

Ideal for heavy machine tending, material handling, packaging, and screw and nut driving applications, the Universal Robots UR16e possesses impressive payload capabilities of 16kgs within a small footprint. This powerhouse robot allows for heavier end of arm tooling and multi-part handling, and is especially useful for achieving shorter cycle times.

What applications is UR16E product best for?

The UR16e is built for heavy duty tasks like machine tending, material handling, packaging, material removal, and screw and nut driving applications. It handles an exceptional 16 kg of payload that is especially useful for carrying heavy end of arm tooling and can lift multiple parts in a single pick, making tasks much more efficient by achieving shorter cycle times.

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.

URe/UR Series Use-Cases

BWIndustrie, the French manufacturer that has deployed the world 1st UR16e

Four robotic arms from Universal Robots (one UR5, two UR10 and one model of the new UR16e) are deployed on production lines. The cobots handle tasks such as loading and unloading of CNC lathes, quality control of metallic tubes and deburring of metal parts ranging from 4 to 14 kg. Using cobots from Universal Robots enables BWIndustrie to maintain competitiveness and increase its workforce by 50% and revenues by 70%. The company has also been able to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among employees, ensuring a healthier working environment.
