UR8 LONG - REVOLUTIONIZING INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Key Features:

• Extended Reach with Compact Design: Industry-leading 1750 mm reach in the smallest footprint of its class (Ø 204 mm), matching the UR20's reach but with 30% less mass (44.7 kg vs 64 kg).
• Superior Speed & Performance: Up to 30% faster cycle times compared to previous cobot generations, enabling rapid task execution and increased productivity across welding, assembly, and material handling operations.
• Advanced Motion Control: Equipped with MotionPlus technology for seamless integration with linear axes, rotary positioners, and turntables, delivering precise control, smoother trajectories, and consistent accuracy in complex applications.
• Welding-Optimized Design: Purpose-built for welding applications with enhanced torch control for cleaner welds, reduced grinding, and minimal rework, saving both time and consumables in fabrication operations.
• Deep Bin Picking Capability: Compact tool flange and fast wrist joints allow more pick positions and enable the robot to reach deep into bin corners with ease, perfect for automotive and logistics applications.
• Enhanced Freedrive Functionality: Upgraded freedrive capabilities allow users to manually guide the arm with exceptional precision and ease, making lead-to-teach programming more intuitive without layered interfaces or external tools.
• Flexible Mounting Options: Lightweight design (30% lighter than UR20) perfect for gantry, rail, overhead, or inverted mounting where external axes operate efficiently.
• Dual Software Platform Support: Runs on both PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X with intuitive programming interface, reducing the learning curve for operators with no programming experience.
• Industrial-Grade Protection: IP65 rating and Cleanroom Class 4 certification ensure reliable operation in demanding manufacturing environments.

Benefits:

• Maximize Floor Space Efficiency: The compact Ø 204 mm footprint fits into tight production areas and space-constrained cells, optimizing your facility layout while maintaining impressive 1750 mm operational reach.
• Accelerate Production Output: 30% faster cycle times translate directly to increased throughput, faster ROI, and improved production efficiency across welding, picking, and assembly operations.
• Reduce Welding Costs & Rework: Achieve cleaner, more consistent welds with less grinding, reduced consumables, and minimal rework, delivering significant cost savings in fabrication shops.
• Address Labor Shortages: Automate repetitive, unergonomic tasks such as manual welding and bin picking, allowing skilled workers to focus on higher-value activities while attracting tech-savvy talent.
• Improve Workplace Safety: TÜV-certified collaborative safety features enable safe human-robot collaboration, reducing workplace injuries from repetitive strain and hazardous tasks.
• Fast Deployment & Easy Redeployment: Average setup time of just half a day with intuitive programming. Lightweight design enables quick redeployment to new tasks and production lines.
• Cost-Effective Automation: Same reach as the UR20 at a lower cost due to optimized 8 kg payload for most welding and handling tasks, eliminating unnecessary payload overhead.
• Future-Proof Investment: Compatible with UR's extensive ecosystem of end-effectors, accessories, and software updates, ensuring your automation solution grows with your business needs.

Applications:

• Collaborative Welding: MIG, TIG, and arc welding for automotive parts, metal fabrication, and structural components with superior weld quality and reduced rework
• Bin Picking & Dunnage Picking: Deep-reaching capability for automotive bins, logistics containers, and material handling with faster pick rates
• Pick & Place Operations: High-speed material transfer, part sorting, and assembly operations in electronics, automotive, and consumer goods manufacturing
• Quality Inspection: Multi-point inspection tasks, dimensional verification, and visual quality control in constrained production environments
• Machine Tending: CNC loading/unloading, injection molding, and metal stamping operations requiring extended reach in compact cells
• Packaging & Palletizing: Product packaging, case packing, and palletizing tasks in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics
• Assembly Operations: Precision component assembly, screw driving, and part insertion in automotive, electronics, and appliance manufacturing
• Material Handling: Part transfer between workstations, conveyor loading, and material sorting in space-constrained production lines
• Plasma Cutting: Automated cutting operations with precise torch control and extended reach capabilities
