THE UR3e
COMPACT TABLE-TOP ROBOT
The UR3e is designed to fit tight workspaces, making it a good fit for bench-tops or built directly inside machinery. It’s small footprint is great for light assembly and screwdriving applications. The UR3e is also offered as an OEM robot system with a 3-Position Teach pendant.
The UR3e collaborative robot is a smaller, table-top version of Universal Robots’ collaborative robots. The compact cobot weighs 24.3 lbs (11 kg), but has a payload capacity of 6.6 lbs (3 kg), ±360-degree rotation on all wrist joints, and infinite rotation on the end joint.

Benefits
SIMPLE PROGRAMMING
Cobots are designed to be much simpler than traditional industrial robots. They allow your employees to focus on the most important tasks, instead of routine work. You simply move the robot arm to desired waypoints or touch the arrow keys on the easy-to-use touchscreen tablet.
QUICK SETUP
Universal Robots has revolutionized cobot deployment, significantly reducing the time required for set-up. Many common cobot processes can be programmed and operated after free online training. If you are interested in realizing the full benefits of automation more quickly, expert advice is available from distributors, certified training partners and systems integrators.
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION
Our cobots are lightweight, space-saving and easy to re-deploy to multiple applications without changing your production layout. Moving the cobot to a new process is fast and easy, giving you the agility to automate even small batch runs and frequent line changeovers.
COLLABORATIVE AND SAFE
Give dirty, dangerous and dull jobs to cobots and reduce repetitive strain injuries to humans. Our safety system is approved by TÜV (The German Technical Inspection Association)
Palletizing Solutions
To ensure that products arrive at your customers’ locations in a timely manner, you need to pack them onto pallets. You rely on your employees to efficiently perform this task. However, manual palletizing can be challenging because it requires them to lift heavy loads and move quickly while maintaining control over them. This is a very unergonomic way of working. Automating this step will increase overall productivity and reduce the risk of severe injuries. Operators can be used more efficiently and preform tasks that are more important to the quality of your product, among other things.
Cobot palletizing systems are flexible and easy to integrate, allowing you to choose from a variety of grippers and integrate an optional lifting column to accommodate extra-tall pallets.
Cobots are intuitive to use and can be programmed to work alongside humans in a variety of tasks, such as palletizing.
Main benefits
of palettizing cobots
-
Less Injuries
The most significant risk of manual palletizing is injury. Work tasks that require repetitive bending, lifting, or twisting can result in injuries such as strains and sprains. Automating your palletizing processes can reduce strain on workers, while improving their overall health. Besides working with a Cobot shows that you care about your co-workers health. Thus making your company more attractive to work for. -
Increase productivity
Running a business today is a constant balancing act between taking advantage of opportunities when they arise, keeping your customers satisfied, and maintaining a happy workforce. Cobots are designed to do repetitive work for a indefinite period. Humans are not. A Cobot will maintain the same working speed. This decreases downtime and ultimately boosts productivity.
