Let's define the robots payload and working area.
Let's define the robots payload and working area.
The robot arm is the center of the work cell. The current 2 product lines consist of 6 arms, ranging from 3 to 30 kg of payload and a working range spanning from 500 mm to around 1.8 meters.
Universal Robots produce articulated 6-degrees of freedom robotic arms. They have built-in safety systems, making them capable of working collaboratively according to ISO 10218-1, if the application and risk assessment allows. Thereby the name, cobots (collaborative robots).
The robot arm consists of 6 rotational joints, each capable of moving ±360 degrees (except for the Wrist Joint on [UR3e/products/ur3-robot), which has limitless rotation).
The workspace refers to the total volume or area within which the robot's end-effector can operate or reach. This includes all possible positions and orientations that the end-effector can achieve, taking into account the robot's range of motion and the physical constraints of its joints and links.
It can be complex to determine the precise workspace, as it depends on the end-effector, and highly on the singularities of the robot.
However, a place to start, is to determining the maximum theoretical workspace, which can be seen in the tables below.
Robots | Recommended Reach | Max Working Area | Footprint |
---|---|---|---|
UR3e | 1000 | 1146 | 128 |
UR5e | 1700 | 1892 | 151 |
UR10e | 2600 | 2672 | 190 |
UR16e | 1800 | 2002 | 190 |
UR20 | 3500 | 3571 | 245 |
UR30 | 2600 | 2695 | 245 |
