UR30

The UR30 collaborative robot delivers outstanding lifting capability, advanced motion control, and compact design efficiency in one powerful solution. Built on the proven UR20 architecture, it brings even greater torque, speed, and payload performance to modern industrial automation.

With a payload capacity of up to 35 kg and a reach of 1300 mm, the UR30 is designed for demanding applications where strength and precision must work together. Therefore, it is ideal for palletising, machine tending, and high-force assembly tasks that require consistent accuracy and reliable operation.

Compact Design with Heavy-Duty Performance

Although the UR30 offers exceptional lifting strength, it maintains a compact footprint. As a result, it can be deployed in existing production environments without requiring major layout changes.

Because of this design approach, manufacturers can automate heavy-duty tasks while still saving valuable floor space. In addition, its compact structure allows easier integration into machine cells and production lines where space is limited.

Therefore, the UR30 provides a powerful combination of strength and flexibility that supports modern manufacturing demands.

Built for Heavy Payload Automation

The UR30 is engineered to handle high payloads while maintaining precise motion control. With 35 kg lifting capacity, it supports applications that involve heavy parts, multiple grippers, and complex tooling systems.

Furthermore, it delivers superior torque performance, which makes it especially effective for tasks such as screw driving, machine loading, and multi-part handling. In addition, improved motion control ensures accurate placement even when handling large or heavy components.

Because of this, production processes become more stable, repeatable, and efficient.

Faster Performance with Enhanced Motion Control

One of the key advantages of the UR30 is its ability to deliver up to 30 percent more speed and torque compared to previous models. As a result, cycle times are reduced and productivity increases across a wide range of applications.

In addition, advanced motion control ensures smooth and precise movements even during high-speed operations. Therefore, heavy payloads can be handled safely without sacrificing accuracy or consistency.

Because of this balance, the UR30 is ideal for manufacturers who need both speed and strength in one system.

Ideal for Palletising and Machine Tending

The UR30 is particularly effective in palletising applications where heavy items must be stacked quickly and accurately. Its high payload capacity ensures stable handling of large boxes, containers, and industrial components.

Furthermore, it performs extremely well in machine tending environments. Because it can manage heavier loads and multiple grippers, it reduces manual intervention and improves production flow.

As a result, operators are freed from repetitive lifting tasks and can focus on higher value activities.

Advanced Safety and Collaborative Operation

Safety is a core feature of the UR30. It includes 17 configurable safety functions, allowing it to operate safely in shared environments alongside human workers.

In addition, it complies with strict international safety standards, including EN ISO 13849-1 (PLd Category 3) and EN ISO 10218-1. Therefore, it meets the requirements of modern collaborative automation environments.

Because of this, manufacturers can deploy the UR30 without extensive guarding in many applications, which simplifies installation and reduces costs.

Designed for Ease of Use and Fast Deployment

The UR30 is designed to be easy to operate, even for users without robotics programming experience. It uses the intuitive PolyScope graphical interface, which allows quick setup and configuration without coding.

Furthermore, a 12 inch touchscreen teach pendant provides a user-friendly control experience. In addition, the redesigned control box improves system usability and integration flexibility.

As a result, deployment times are reduced and productivity can be achieved faster.

Flexible Integration and Connectivity

The UR30 supports a wide range of communication protocols, including Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, USB, and ROS/ROS2 drivers. Therefore, it integrates easily into existing industrial automation systems.

Because of this flexibility, manufacturers can connect the UR30 to sensors, machines, and control systems without complex configuration. In addition, it adapts easily to changing production requirements.

This ensures long-term scalability and future-proof automation investment.

Built for Real Industrial Environments

The UR30 is designed to operate reliably in demanding production environments. It features an IP65 rating on the arm and an IP54 rating on the control box, providing strong protection against dust and water exposure.

In addition, it operates at a low noise level of less than 65 dB(A), which helps maintain a more comfortable working environment. Therefore, it is suitable for both industrial and collaborative spaces.

Because of this durability, the UR30 delivers consistent performance in challenging conditions.

The UR30 is suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty automation tasks. Its combination of payload strength, reach, and precision makes it highly versatile across multiple sectors.

Common applications include:

• Palletising for heavy end-of-line operations
• Machine tending with large components
• Welding and fabrication support
• Dispensing of industrial materials
• Sanding and polishing processes
• Material handling and transfer tasks
• Material removal and finishing operations
• Quality inspection and testing

In each case, the UR30 improves consistency, reduces manual effort, and increases productivity.

Improved Productivity and Reduced Risk

The UR30 is designed to help manufacturers improve efficiency while reducing workplace risk. By taking over heavy lifting tasks, it helps prevent injuries and reduces strain on workers.

Furthermore, consistent robotic performance ensures accurate pallet placement and repeatable production quality. As a result, downtime and errors are reduced across operations.

Because of this, businesses benefit from both improved safety and higher output levels.

The UR30 offers one of the most powerful combinations of payload, speed, and flexibility in the collaborative robot range. It is designed for manufacturers who need heavy-duty performance without sacrificing ease of use or space efficiency.

Key benefits include:

• 35 kg payload capacity
• 1300 mm reach
• Up to 30 percent more speed and torque
• Compact footprint for easy integration
• Advanced safety features with 17 functions
• Intuitive PolyScope programming interface
• Wide industrial connectivity options

Because of these advantages, it delivers strong performance across demanding production environments.
