UR8 Long
The UR8 Long is a collaborative robot (cobot) from Universal Robots featuring a 1750 mm reach and 8 kg payload in a compact, lightweight design with 30% less mass than the UR20. It excels in space-constrained applications like welding complex weldments, pick & place, quality inspection, precision dunnage picking, and multi-point inspections. Advanced joint architecture (2-1-3), accurate torque control, and MotionPlus enable precise linear motion, high-speed acceleration, and smooth trajectories. It supports PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X software on a 12-inch touchscreen, with intuitive freedrive programming. Suitable for mounting on gantries, rails, or overhead, it offers 30% faster cycle times, IP65 rating, and cleanroom Class 4 certification for industries including automotive and fabricated metals.

THG Automation Standardizes UR8 Long for Welding, Cuts Cycles 30% (Sep 2025)
THG Automation has standardized the UR8 Long across its welding operations, achieving a 30% reduction in cycle times as demonstrated in September 2025 trials. This move addresses persistent labor shortages in fabrication by deploying the cobot for repetitive welds on large assemblies, freeing skilled workers for intricate tasks. The integration transforms tight production cells, boosting output without expanding footprints. Industry observers note this as a benchmark for scalable cobot adoption, with THG reporting smoother workflows and fewer defects right after rollout.
