High capacity and long reach for demanding applications
The Universal Robots UR Series UR20 collaborative robot is one of the most capable models in the Universal Robots portfolio, designed for applications that require moving heavy loads over long distances. With a payload of 25 kg and a reach of 1750 mm, the model is suitable for processes where a smaller cobot can no longer meet the actual requirements of the application.
Suitable for palletizing, handling, and heavy-duty applications
The UR20 is frequently used in applications such as palletizing, machine tending, material handling, welding, or processes involving larger parts and end-effectors. In such applications, the advantage lies not only in the additional force, but also in the fact that it comes with a large working radius and a relatively compact footprint relative to its capacity.
Better motion control for heavy-duty applications
Universal Robots also emphasizes motion control under heavy loads and at maximum reach. In real-world applications, this translates to smoother movements, less vibration, and more predictable cycle times. In processes where parts are heavy and movement must remain precise, this aspect matters far more than the simple payload value listed in the spec sheet.
A solution for companies looking to scale their automation
The UR20 is ideal for manufacturers who have outgrown light-duty applications and want to automate more demanding processes without immediately switching to much more complex conventional robotic solutions. It is a good choice for expanding automation to applications involving long reach, heavier parts, and stricter throughput requirements.
Who is it suitable for?
- palletizing and handling of heavy loads
- machine tending and welding
- applications where long-range detection is essential
- companies that are scaling automation to heavy-duty processes
