A heavy-duty collaborative robot built tough for welders. With a long arm and a compact wrist, it fits tight spaces, reaches further where others can’t and tracks weld paths with the same control you bring to the torch. The UR8 Long is a ready-to-use welding robot that’s quick to set up, delivering the reach and performance required for high-quality welding. Its lighter weight allows for easier handling, safer programming and faster, more precise movement.

Long reach. Intuitive hand-guided programming. Big impact.
Big welds demand more. They demand reach. Stability. Precision. And a tool that won’t flinch when the job gets tough. In an industry facing a shortage of skilled welders and growing demand for high-quality, repeatable welds, UR8 Long is built to deliver without compromising standards. It’s designed for welding applications that demand reach, precision and reliability — handling long seams, complex parts and repetitive passes with consistency and control.
The ultimate welding robot
Its extended 1750 mm reach and compact 204 mm footprint make it ideal for confined setups. The light 44.7 kg net weight and small wrist provide exceptional flexibility for weldment access and torch positioning — critical in space-limited welding cells.
Unlike traditional robotic arms, UR8 Long is a ready-to-weld robot that is fast to deploy, offering the reach and performance needed to weld with excellence, with significantly less weight for easier handling, safer changeovers and more agile movement. Its lighter mass also makes it ideal for gantry, rail, or overhead mounting, where external axes can operate more efficiently.
Easy to program and teach, it helps reduce repetitive strain, eases dependence on hard-to-hire specialists and attracts new talent who are often more motivated to operate a robot than perform manual welding.
Advanced capabilities. Real-world impact.
With our innovative MotionPlus advanced technology combined with precise torch control, UR8 Long delivers smoother paths, less repositioning and repeatable quality across runs. That means cleaner welds, better bead placement and less grinding and rework, resulting in both time and consumable savings. Our enhanced Freedrive capabilities make lead-to-teach programming even more intuitive, enabling welders and technicians to manually guide the arm for quick and ergonomic setup, even on complex parts. UR8 Long scales effortlessly with your workload—whether you're standardizing long runs or adapting to high-mix, low-volume production. One cobot. Multiple payoffs. Built for welders.
