Wrist 3 Infinite Rotation
Unique to the UR3e, infinite rotation of the last wrist joint enables continuous processes, simpler programming, and higher uptime in high-cycle applications. Continuous motion: enables uninterrupted rotation for screwdriving, dispensing, polishing, and other spindle-based processes without forced stops or reversals. Higher uptime: eliminates unwind moves and reset motions, reducing cycle interruptions in repetitive, high-volume production. Simpler programming: removes joint angle limits and reduces motion complexity, making programs more intuitive and robust. Improved durability: prevents cable twisting and fatigue, extending the life of dress packs and integrated end-of-arm tooling.
Tool Connector
Integrated M8 8-pin tool connector delivers power, I/O, and communication directly at the flange – reducing cabling, simplifying integration, and enabling smarter end-effectors. M8, 8-pin female connector; EN ISO-9409-1-50-4-M6; 12 V or 24 V power supply at the tool; [2] Digital I/Os, configured as sinking or sourcing (NPN / PNP); [2] Analog inputs for sensors or [1] RS-485 communication; Safety ready architecture. Electrical Specifications – UR3e Tool Connector.
