  • Protects operators, 17 safety functions with PLd Category 3 compliance
  • Program intuitively on 12-inch Polyscope 5 touchscreen
  • Expand easily with digital, analog I/O and URCaps integration
  • Lifts 12.5 kg across 1300 mm reach for heavy part handling
  • Operates in dusty shops, IP54 rated for manufacturing floors
  • Reaches 4 m/s speeds to cut cycle time on repetitive tasks
  • Integrates via Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, and ROS protocols
The Universal Robots UR12e can lift 12.5 kg across its 1300 mm reach, making it suitable for heavy part handling and machine tending tasks. This payload capacity positions it between the UR10e and UR16e models.
The UR12e has a maximum reach of 1300 mm (1.3 meters), which provides extended workspace coverage for applications like palletizing, pick-and-place operations, and material handling.
The UR12e includes 17 integrated safety functions and meets PLd Category 3 certification for collaborative operation, allowing safe human-robot collaboration on manufacturing floors. It enables consistent performance for 24/7 operation with certified operator protection.
The UR12e is IP54 rated, which means it can operate in dusty shops and typical manufacturing floor environments without performance degradation.
The UR12e supports Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, and ROS protocols for integration with existing industrial automation systems. It also features flexible digital and analog I/O and URCaps compatibility for hardware and software expansion.
The UR12e uses Polyscope 5 software with an intuitive 12-inch touchscreen interface for robot setup and programming, making it accessible without extensive training or coding expertise.

Cobot vs traditional industrial robot:

The UR12e is a collaborative robot designed to work safely alongside operators, unlike fixed industrial arms that require full guarding. Choose this cobot when you need a flexible, fast-to-deploy solution with intuitive touchscreen programming.

  • For machine tending in tight or changing cells, the 1300 mm reach and 12.5 kg payload handle heavy components while the compact 33.5 kg frame fits confined spaces where large gantries cannot.
  • On repetitive pick-and-place lines where cycle time matters, 4 m/s speeds reduce task duration without sacrificing the ±0.05 mm repeatability required for precision assembly.
  • In dusty manufacturing floors, IP54 rating and sealed construction tolerate typical shop conditions where delicate articulated robots would fail.
  • When operator collaboration is essential, PLd Category 3 compliance with 17 integrated safety functions lets workers share the workspace safely, eliminating complex cage installation.
  • For quick integration into existing lines, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, and Ethernet/IP protocols connect directly to controllers, while URCaps and flexible I/O avoid custom rewiring.
