20. What are the types of Universal Robots? How to choose the model for field application?
Universal Robots is now available in three models: UR3, UR5 and UR10, representing a tool-end load capacity of 3 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg, respectively. (Please refer to the technical parameter table for specific data)
The robot selection mainly considers the following issues: the tooling fixture assembled by the robot and the total weight of the workpiece that may be grabbed (the influence of the center of gravity on the load also needs to be considered, see the load diagram in the user manual); the range of work required by the robot; the way the robot communicates with external devices; The ambient temperature and IP rating of the robot working; the maximum speed and acceleration of the robot's work; Parameters such as the repeated positioning accuracy of the robot.
21. Is the software and hardware of each model of Universal Robots standard? Are there any options?
Each Universal Robots robot model consists of a six-joint robotic arm (including cables), a control box (including power cables), a teach pendant (attached to the control box) and accessories (2 mounting brackets, tool-end signal cables, user manual), and a software-mounted PolyScope system.
Universal Robots are not available as an option, they are all standard products.
22. How to calculate the load of Universal Robots? What are the effects of overload usage?
The UR3 robot load is 3 kg, the UR5 is 5 kg, and the UR10 is 10 kg. It should be noted that the maximum allowable payload of the robot depends on the center of gravity offset, which is defined as the distance between the center of the tool flange and the center of gravity, which can be checked against the relevant load diagram in the user manual.
Even under the conditions of the maximum allowable load, the fastest speed (such as UR5, the fastest joint speed of 180°/s), and the extension of 100% (the robotic arm is fully deployed), the robot has no impact on the accuracy and service life of the motion trajectory.
It is recommended not to overload the robot, as this will reduce the trajectory accuracy and cause additional deviations.

Universal Robots – a common fault with welding robots
1. Welding deviation problem: it may be that the welding position is incorrect or there is a problem when looking for the welding gun. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether the TCP (welding torch center point position) is accurate and adjust it. If this situation occurs frequently, it is necessary to check the zero position of each axis of the robot, and re-calibrate it to repair.
