Power and good rhythm for quick handling
The Universal Robots UR Series UR18 collaborative robot is designed for applications involving the handling of heavier parts without compromising speed. With a payload of 18 kg and a working radius of 950 mm, this model is particularly suited for high-speed pick-and-place tasks, material handling, and processes where productivity depends directly on reducing cycle times.
A good balance between capacity and agility
Typically, as payload capacity increases, systems become larger, slower, or more difficult to integrate. The UR18 is specifically designed to minimize this trade-off. It supports larger end-effectors and heavier parts, yet remains compact enough to be mounted relatively easily and integrated even into standard gantry systems.
Suitable for high-throughput applications
If the process involves many repeated transfers, handling of subassemblies, or rapid feeding of workstations, the UR18 is a logical choice. With speeds of up to 4 m/s and a compact design, it is ideal for applications where space is limited and productivity demands are high.
A good choice when the track is tough, but the race doesn't have to be very long
Compared to models designed for long-range operation, the UR18 is a better fit when weight and speed matter more than distance. For companies that need to move more goods faster within a relatively compact area, this model offers an excellent balance of performance, footprint, and flexibility.
Who is it suitable for?
- high-speed pick-and-place
- handling of heavier materials and subassemblies
- applications where throughput is critical
- companies looking for a compact cobot with a high payload
