Heavy-Duty Payload Cobot for Collaborative Automation

Universal Robots (UR) offers the UR16e collaborative robot (cobot), which features a 16 kg (35 lb.) payload capability.

The new UR16e combines the high payload with a reach of 900 mm and pose repeatability of +/-0.05 mm, making it suitable for automating tasks such as heavy-duty material handling, heavy part handling, palletizing and machine tending.

"In today's uncertain economic climate, manufacturers need to look at flexible solutions to stay competitive," said Jürgen von Hollen, UR President. "With UR16e, we meet the need for a cobot that can tackle heavy-duty tasks reliably and efficiently. This launch significantly expands the versatility of our product portfolio and gives manufacturers even more ways to improve performance, overcome labor challenges and grow their business."

Developed on UR's innovative e-Series platform, UR16e benefits and capabilities include:

• Programming and integration are simple, regardless of the user's experience or knowledge base. Like all UR cobots, the UR16e can be unpacked, mounted and programmed to perform a task in less than an hour. With a small footprint and 900 mm reach, UR16e easily integrates into any production environment without disruption.
• With its 16 kg payload, UR16e eliminates the ergonomic and productivity challenges associated with lifting and moving heavy parts and products, lowering costs and reducing downtime.
• The UR16e can be used for automating high-payload and CNC machine tending applications, including multi-part handling, without compromising on precision.

Like UR's other e-Series cobots-UR3e, UR5e and UR10e-the UR16e includes built-in force sensing, 17 configurable safety functions, including customizable stopping time and stopping distance, and an intuitive programming flow. UR16e meets compliance regulations and safety standards for unobstructed human-robot collaboration, including EN ISO 13849-1, PLd, Category 3 and full EN ISO 10218-1.
