Designed for lifting

Not every job requires lifting heavy objects far or has the space for a large robotic system. The UR16e will enable you to perform heavy duty tasks like machine tending, material handling, or packaging, while fitting into smaller workspaces. Objects can be moved fast with smooth movements thanks to Advanced Motion Control.

The UR16e also comes with a suite of embedded technologies, ensuring safety when working with a collaborative, industrial robot.

Possibilities

Lift heavy objects in areas where space is a minimum. The combination of heavy payload but compact reach enables the UR16e to automate heavier-duty applications in tight environments.

Productivity

Increase uptime and productivity, while eliminating mistakes by introducing automated, standardized procedures.

Motion control

Take advantage of the full speed range and accelerations while lifting the maximum payload at it's maximum reach.

True payload performance

True payload performance

Future-proof your facility with a cobot which enables you to grow with your tasks. When requiring to lift heavy objects over the maximum distance, do not limit yourself by the way your end-effector is mounted. If the objects require a change of how they are being lifted, resulting a shift in the center of gravity, the UR16e will support you in this change.

Safety

Safety

Like every cobot made by Universal Robots, UR16e comes with built-in safety features, including force-sensing technology and collision detection. These features allow the robot to work alongside humans without the need for safety barriers or cages, increasing productivity and promoting a safe working environment.

Unlock the full potential of your cobot fleet

By integrating your robots with our comprehensive connectivity platform, you’ll benefit from enhanced productivity, minimized downtime, and efficient fleet management – all from the convenience of your office, wherever that might be.

Designed to improve your work

While our goal is to make automation available for anyone, anywhere, we also aim to support your journey in revolutionizing your business by enabling safe and collaborative human-robot interaction.

Fast deployment

Fast deployment

The out-of-box experience for an untrained operator to unpack the cobot, mount it, and program the first simple task is typically less than an hour.

Space saving

Space saving

Our cobot's small footprint opens opportunities to automate tasks in existing manufacturing setups where floorspace is often set and at a premium.

Power consumption

Power consumption

Automating tasks gives you the possibility to run tasks autonomously without constant monitoring of your employees. In addition, UR cobots use less electricity than traditional industrial robots.

Collaborative and safe

Collaborative and safe

All UR cobots come with built-in safety features, including force-sensing technology and collision detection. These features allow our cobots to work alongside you without the need for safety barriers or cages, increasing productivity and promoting a safe working environment.
