Full specifications

Performance

How much it lifts, how far it reaches, how precisely it repeats.

Payload

Maximum mass the robot can carry at the wrist flange, including the gripper/tool. Higher means it can handle heavier parts.

5 kg

Reach

Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.

850 mm
11th pct in class
Repeatability

How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.

0.03 mm

Axes (DOF)

Number of independently driven joints / degrees of freedom. 6 is standard for articulated arms; 4 for SCARA/palletizers; 7 adds elbow redundancy.

Max TCP speed

Top linear speed of the tool centre point. Higher means faster cycle times.

1,000 mm/s

Work envelope

Approximate volume the wrist can reach. Higher covers more workspace.

Motion range & speed

Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.

Max axis speed

Highest rotational speed of the fastest joint. Higher helps short, fast moves.

Motion range and maximum speed per joint.

Axis Range Max speed
J1 -360° to 360° 180 °/s
J2 -360° to 360° 180 °/s
J3 -360° to 360° 180 °/s

J6 -360° to 360° 180 °/s

Physical

Size, mass and how it mounts.

Robot weight

Mass of the manipulator (arm) without controller. Lighter eases mounting and mobile use; heavier often means stiffer/higher payload.

21 kg
Base footprint

Length × width of the mounting base — the floor space the robot occupies.

149 × 149 mm
Mounting

Orientations the robot can be installed in (floor, ceiling/inverted, wall, tilted, mobile base).

floor, ceiling, wall, tilted
Colour

Standard finish colour.

Blue / aluminium

Power & controller

Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.

Power supply

Required input voltage / phase for the controller.

100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Power draw

Typical operating power consumption. Lower is more efficient.

200 W

Controller

The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.

UR Control Box (e-Series)
Controller weight

Mass of the control cabinet. Lower saves space/weight.

Environment

Conditions it can operate in — dust, water, temperature, cleanliness.

IP rating (arm)

Ingress protection of the body against dust/water (IEC 60529). First digit = dust, second = water. Higher resists harsher environments.

IP54

Operating temp

Ambient temperature range for normal operation.

0 to 50 °C
Humidity

Permissible relative-humidity range (non-condensing).

0 to 90 %RH
Noise level

Operating sound pressure level. Lower is quieter.

65 dB(A)

Safety

Standards met and collaborative-operation capability.

Collaborative

Whether the robot is designed to work safely next to people without fencing (power-and-force-limited).

Yes
Safety standards

Certified safety standards (ISO 10218-1, ISO/TS 15066) and functional-safety level (PLd/PLe, SIL2/3).

ISO 10218-1, ISO/TS 15066, PLd Cat.3
Collab features

Collaborative safety functions: power-force-limiting, speed-and-separation monitoring, hand-guiding, safety-rated stops.

Control & software

Programming, languages and ecosystem.

Programming

How the robot is taught: pendant, hand-guiding (lead-through), block/flow-chart, scripting, offline simulation.

teach-pendant, lead-through, graphical-blockly, script
Languages
