Universal Robots (UR), a Denmark-based collaborative robots (cobots) manufacture, has launched an enhanced robot UR10e with an increased payload of 12.5kg (27.55lbs), creating new possibilities for applications such as palletising, machine tending and packaging.

The robot’s price remains unchanged.

The enhanced UR10e retains the small footprint, intuitive programming experience, uncompromising repeatability, but its increased payload capacity means that users can now do more.

“Our customers have already deployed UR cobots on a wide variety of palletising applications. In response to this demand, we have enhanced the UR10e to support greater payloads, providing customers with exciting new deployment capabilities,” said Kim Povlsen, President of Universal Robots.

In addition, the updated UR10e also provides plug-and-play compatibility with products from Universal Robots’ UR+ ecosystem of hardware and software peripherals, ensuring that users can quickly and easily get started with collaborative applications.

“The greater payload of UR10e makes a big difference to palletising applications by enabling users to handle loads up to 12.5kg in weight. With 25 per cent greater automation potential, it also means that the UR10e can help whenever there is a single line that needs to palletise a wide range of products of different weights,” said Nicolas Lauzier, Senior Product Manager at Robotiq.

Clients in Viet Nam can place orders for the enhanced UR10e via Zalo or WhatsApp at this corporate mobile number +84 (0) 983 243 823. Shipments of the new UR10e are scheduled to start in the second half of June. — VNS
