The UR18 combines strength and agility, supporting larger end effectors to lift heavier payloads while remaining light enough for easy mounting on most standard gantry systems. With a 950 mm reach and speeds up to 4 m/s, it’s ideal for fast-paced pick-and-place deployments where reducing cycle times is crucial.

Built to deliver power and efficiency
The UR18 is built to deliver both power and efficiency, making it the perfect choice for manufacturers who need to move more faster. Unlike other robots that force you to choose between heavy payload capacity and agile performance, the UR18 gives you both. Its robust design supports larger end effectors and heavier payloads without compromising speed, while its lightweight build ensures easy installation on most standard gantry systems - no expensive infrastructure changes required.
With a 950 mm reach and rapid motion capabilities of up to 4 m/s, the UR18 is tailor-made for high-throughput pick-and-place operations. That means shorter cycle times, higher productivity and more output from the same floor space. For operations under constant pressure to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the UR18 is a smart investment that pays back quickly in both performance and flexibility.
UR18 Applications
The UR18 can be used in a variety of applications. Click the most popular applications below to learn more.
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 UR18 will support you in this change.
Safety
With increased payload, enhanced speed and reach capabilities, the safety of the operator is always our number one priority. With the goal of building a collaborative robot, our engineers devoted hours into the development of our safety functions. The result of their effort was the creation of benchmarks for safety when working with collaborative, industrial robots today.
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
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
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
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
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.
Get the most out of your cobot
UR Academy offers a series of step-by-step programming examples and tutorials for troubleshooting and repair tasks.
Tool Configuration
Learn how to set the tool center point (TCP), and how to adjust payload & center of gravity correctly.
Safety planes
Learn how to create and configure safety planes. A safety plane can prevent the robot from moving beyond it in normal mode, reduced mode or both; or it can trigger reduced mode.
