The UR20 cobot features a new design that combines Universal Robots' extensive experience in high-end, cutting-edge engineering and further expands the company's robust cobot portfolio

Universal Robots announces the launch of a new 20kg cobot

　　This new product is a testament to Universal Robots' innovative strength in the field of collaborative robotics. The UR20's new fitting design further reduces cycle times and allows for heavy-duty operation. With a working radius of 1750mm, it can reach the height of a standard Euro pallet and will reinvent the way businesses pack and palletize. The UR20's small footprint allows companies to realize more possibilities in their existing production space

In addition to palletizing, the UR20 can be used for welding, material handling, machine loading and machine care, and can be partnered with Universal Robots

Kimpovlsen, President of Universal Robots, said: "The UR20 is not only larger than our existing cobot offerings, it also redefines cobots. It is our highly innovative product, and it is also our new achievement in the 17 years of in-depth cultivation in the robot industry. The company's expert engineers have completely reinvented the gripper, and the benefits of using our award-winning intuitive user interface **UR20 are clear. It has a short cycle time, a short working space, and can complete heavy-duty operations, with a large working radius and a small footprint. We've also enhanced the software to provide users with the best motion control. “

Since the launch of the commercial cobot in 2008, Universal Robots has built a rich ecosystem of more than 1,100 integrators, distributors, and independent partners to create a rich set of components, kits, and applications for Universal Robots. To date, Universal Robots has sold more than 50,000 cobots. The design of the UR20 is fully borrowed from the previous customers that E Company has served

Universal Robots' e-Series has been a great success. Today, the UR20 unveils a new chapter in the next generation of cobots. In the future, the company will create a series of innovative next-generation products

Kimpovlsen adds: "We are committed to building every product and want to help every customer succeed. The development process of the UR20 is a prime example. We strive for high-quality engineering skills, stunning Scandinavian design, and the best user experience from the software to the connector cover. "The UR20 high-payload robot is the first next-generation product from Universal Robots that provides customers with an end-to-end automated operation experience and helps them complete new tasks with cobots. In the future, we will continue to redefine automation and create more cobot products with the same innovative performance. Please pay attention to us, we look forward to sharing our insights on future trends with you. KimPovlsen said.
