UR20, a high-load collaborative robot with a payload capacity of 20 kg
Supports high-speed cycle times and palletizing optimization environments

Universal Robots, a collaborative robot company, has launched a collaborative robot capable of lifting up to 20 kg, enabling new tasks and enabling end-to-end automation for customers.

Universal Robots announced on the 22nd that it has released a new product, the 'UR20'.

The UR20 features a new design compared to previous Universal Robots products. It features a new joint design that enables faster cycle times and heavier loads. The working radius is 1750mm and is designed to operate up to the full height of a Euro Pallet (European standard pallet).

It can be installed even in small areas, so it is expected to increase convenience in packaging and palletizing.

In addition to palletizing, it can be used in a variety of partner solutions, including welding, material handling, loading, and machine tending.

Integrates advanced software features to provide users with motion control capabilities.

“We’ve completely redesigned the robot arm while maintaining an intuitive user interface,” said Kim Povlsen, President of Universal Robots. “The UR20 is the most innovative collaborative robot we’ve ever made, embodying 17 years of advancements from Universal Robots.”

He also emphasized, “Universal Robots will continue to do its best to provide high-quality engineering based on sophisticated Nordic design and an excellent user experience from software to endcap,” adding, “The launch of the UR20 is a signal for the next generation of collaborative robots and will further strengthen Universal Robots’ e-Series collaborative robot portfolio, which has been evaluated as innovative so far.”
