The cobot that started it all

First released in 2008, the e-Series version of a 5 kg (11 lbs) payload cobot received improvements in technology and continues on its path to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of applications.

The UR5e is ideal for those who require a cobot light enough to be mounted into your existing production line (for example on a table or within a machine). Matching your need to lift light to medium sized objects, the UR5e reaches 200 mm further than an average worker's arm. This comes in handy when items need to be placed within machines or a task needs to be completed outside the reach of your employees.

Productivity

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

Agile

Create new solutions, re-use programs for recurrent tasks and move the cobot to new processes if required.

Employee-support

Give your employees the freedom to focus on what they are best at and leave the rest to the cobot.

UR5e Applications

The UR5e can be used in a variety of applications. Click the most popular applications below to learn more.

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 UR5e will support you in this change.

Lights out, work on

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. While the UR5e can lift 5 kg (11 lbs), it only consumes an average of 200 Watt, the same as a gaming console. You can power up your work processes, while keeping electricity consumption low.

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

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.

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

Tool Configuration

Learn how to set the tool center point (TCP), and how to adjust payload & center of gravity correctly.

Safety planes

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.
