Universal Robots collaborative robots at the IMTS 2018 exhibition in Chicago

The Danish company Universal Robots presented at the IMTS 2018 exhibition in Chicago an updated line of their collaborative robots.




The E-series line-up includes three devices - UR3 , UR5 and UR10 . Robot-manipulators differ from each other primarily in carrying capacity - 3, 5 and 10 kilograms, as well as the range of action - 50, 85 and 130 centimeters.

The developer is not limited to external, cosmetic changes. Improved repeatability, developed force and torque. All these improvements have become possible through the use of the latest sensor, which allows you to more accurately track all processes and prevent the robot from breaking.



When developing E-series robots, operational safety has been improved. Changed the design and interface of the controller.



Working with him has become more intuitive, and modular programming is even more accessible.



Universal Robots works closely with developers of gripping devices, computer vision modules and other optional components: MiR, RobotIQ, Sick, Pick-It and others.



Customization of captures is allowed by making your own elements using 3D printing - this is a convenient approach for small-scale solutions, which reduces the cost of owning a robot.



As the developer claims, E-Series robots are versatile and can be integrated into almost any industry - from the simplest manipulation of objects to packaging, polishing and turning.

Using the latest gripping devices, robots can work with fragile objects, such as fruits or eggs. And thanks to mobile platforms, they can move freely around the job site.



This not only expands their capabilities in production, but also opens the way to retail and catering, where they can be used in warehouses, for assembling and picking orders.



URs are also used in electronics assembly plants, as devices that assist human-assemblers. For more examples of using UR robots in production, see the video above.

You can pick up and order robotics for your production in the Top 3D Shop - our staff will help you make the best choice and promptly place an order.
