Universal Robots UR30 Collaborative Robot Overview:
The Universal Robots UR30 is a 6 axis collaborative robot arm designed for heavy-duty industrial automation tasks such as palletizing, machine tending, materials handling, and high-torque screwdriving, for manufacturers and integrators seeking precision and safety.
- Payload: 35 kg
- Reach: 1,300 mm
- Repeatability: 0.1 mm
- Weight: 63.5 kg
Key Features:
- The UR30 delivers precise positioning and high payload capacity, setting it apart from lighter universal robots cobot options in the Universal Robots portfolio and many competing collaborative robots.
- Cleanroom certified for ISO Class 4 environments and IP65 rated for dust and water resistance, supporting reliable deployment in demanding industrial settings. IP65 means the arm is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction.
- Operators can program and control the UR30 via Polyscope software on a 12-inch touchscreen teach pendant, ensuring an intuitive user interface.
- Interfaces include Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, USB 2.0/3.0, standard digital/analog I/O and an M8 connector for tool communication. An M8 connector is a compact circular connector commonly used for industrial sensors and effectors, supporting 12/24 V power supply to end-of-arm tools.
- 17 integrated safety functions meet PLd Category 3 compliance. PLd Category 3 refers to a high level of functional safety, reducing the risk of machine hazards according to ISO 13849-1.
When to Choose the UR30:
- The UR30 is the strongest model in the Universal Robots collaborative robot range, ideal for tasks that demand heavy lifting, multiple grippers, or high-torque tools beyond the specification limits of lighter 6 dof robotic arms.
- With its 1,300 mm reach and 35 kg payload, the UR30 suits large workspaces and heavy components, supporting flexible automation in assembly, packaging, and quality inspection.
- Mounts to standard industrial tables or cell fixtures with a compact 245 mm base footprint.
- The UR30 is most effective when both force requirements and collaborative safety are priorities for your automation project.
Applications:
- Palletizing
- Machine tending
- Material handling
- Screwdriving and drilling
- Quality inspection
Next Steps:
- Configure your Universal Robots UR30 for your application requirements.
- Request a demo to see the UR30 collaborative robot in action alongside other Universal Robots models.
- Customize end-of-arm tooling and accessories to maximize your deployment flexibility.
