UR18
The UR18 is a compact heavy-duty collaborative robot (cobot) from Universal Robots, combining strength and agility with an 18 kg payload and 950 mm reach. It supports larger end effectors for heavier loads while remaining lightweight at 39.2 kg for easy mounting on standard gantry systems. With max TCP speed of 4 m/s, it's ideal for fast pick-and-place, assembly, and material handling in logistics, automotive, food & beverage. Features include built-in force/torque sensing (±150 N force, ±10 Nm torque), PolyScope GUI on 12" touchscreen, IP65 rating, and advanced motion like OptiMove. Six degrees of freedom with ±0.05 mm repeatability ensure precision. Safety certified to PLd Category 3 (EN ISO 13849-1), UL1740 for human-robot collaboration. Flexible programming, connectivity via Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and modular I/O enable quick integration without safety fencing.
