UNIVERSAL ROBOTS is increasing the payload capacity on its two high-payload collaborative robots – the UR20 and UR30 – so that operators can lift more at no additional cost. The updates raise the total payload, including end-effector, to 25 and 35 kgs respectively when using the cobot in top lift position. This is especially useful for palletizing applications and solutions.
“At Universal Robots, we continuously test and develop our products, and when we unlock new features, we want to give partners and customers immediate access,” stated Tero Tolonen, chief product officer. “This update enables customers to increase productivity without increasing costs, and it’s just one example of how our passion for innovation drives benefit to our customers’ bottom line.”
The additional strength doesn’t require any new purchases and production updates can happen in just minutes. The increased payload can be unlocked by updating UR’s PolyScope software to version 5.19 or later.
Before the close of 2024, UR20s and UR30s shipped will automatically include the software needed to support the use of higher payloads.
