Product Overview
- UR3e: In Industry the UR3e primary uses are for compact form factor making it a good fit for tight workspaces. Its small footprint is great for bench tops or built directly inside machinery, making it well suited for light assembly and screwdriving applications. UR3e is also offered as an OEM robot system. For education, it is great for teaching on workbenches as a stand-alone unit, or to be used inside industrial application mentioned above. This unit is also, great as a recruiting tool because of its light weight, and ease of use.
- UR5e: In Industry, the UR5e is a lightweight, adaptable, collaborative, industrial robots that tackles medium-duty applications with ultimate flexibility. The UR5e is designed for seamless integration into a wide range of applications. The UR5e is also offered as an OEM robot system. For education, it is great for teaching on workbenches as a stand-alone unit, or to be used inside industrial application mentioned above.
- UR10e: In Industry, the UR10e is an extraordinary versatile, collaborative, industrial robot. Delivering both high payload (10 kg) lift and long reach (1300 mm) makes it well suited for a wide range of applications in machine tending, palletizing, and packaging. UR10e is also offered as an OEM robot system.
UR Robotics in Applications:
One example is the SMC FAS-200 SE which simulates a real assembly process. This unit has been designed as compact equipment for the development of the skills most in demand in industry 4.0 Technologies affecting mechatronics and robotics. The FAS-200 is comprised of 3 stations and a linear transfer, each of which carries out a part of the process.
The first station feeds and inspects the caps to be assembled on the product in process. There are 6 types of caps, depending on the material, color and height. The central station rejects the caps or inserts them into the assembly depending on whether it is the desired type of cap for the current product. This part of the process is where the Universal Robot is used to complete this task. With the storage and shipment station, it carries out storage and shipment of the final product according to what has been previously set.
