Newer model: Universal Robots UR7e
Overview
6-axis collaborative robot arm with 5 kg payload and 850 mm reach, IP54 rated and mountable in any orientation. The mid-range e-Series model with integrated force-torque sensing and the UR+ accessory ecosystem; long the most widely deployed cobot. In 2025 Universal Robots raised its payload to 7.5 kg and renamed it UR7e (see the newer model).
Will the Universal Robots UR5e do your task? Simulate it before you buy.
UR5e palletizing 3 kg boxes in our simulation: 5.05 s cycle at collaborative speed.
We build your station in a simulator with the Universal Robots UR5e and one or two alternatives, and send you video plus cycle time, parts per shift, reach and payload check, and a payback estimate. Scoping is free, and every project is quoted individually.
