DETROIT—The new UR15 cobot from Universal Robots has a maximum tool center point speed of 5 meters per second, making it the fastest cobot in company’s portfolio.
For pick-and-place applications, the UR15 delivers up to 30 percent cycle time improvements compared to other UR models.
“The UR15…is designed specifically to operate at higher speeds with the smoothest performance in robotics today,” said Tero Tolonen, chief product officer at Universal Robots. “This makes it a seamless fit for diverse production environments, and it provides our vast ecosystem of partners with an opportunity to boost existing applications and develop new, transformative solutions that will take collaborative automation to the next level.”
Combined with OptiMove, UR’s new motion control technology, those gains go even further, enhancing trajectory smoothness and ensuring consistently accurate movements, even in high-speed and high-payload applications.
UR15 runs with both PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X, UR’s control software. The UR15 can easily be used with the UR AI Accelerator, UR’s toolkit for developing AI-powered applications.
The UR15 has a payload of 15 kilograms, which can be increased to 17.5 kilograms for applications with a wrist-down orientation, such as palletizing.
