Long-Reach Robot for Bin Picking
Universal Robots (UR) has introduced the UR8 Long, a long-reach industrial collaborative robot designed for space-constrained automation tasks such as bin picking.
With the same 1750 mm (68.9 in) reach as the UR20 and a significantly slimmer profile, UR8 Long combines reach, stability and precision in a rugged, compact, lightweight form, featuring an 8 kg (17.6 lbs) payload. This makes it suitable for space-constrained setups and industrial tasks, such as precision dunnage.
UR8 Long runs with both PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X, UR’s software platform, and can be extended with MotionPlus, UR’s new advanced motion control technology that allows for ease of integration with linear axis, rotary positioners and rotary turntables for precise control, smoother trajectories, and consistent accuracy.
The longer reach combined with the new robot’s compact tool flange and fast wrist joints allow more pick positions and for the robot to reach deep into bin corners.
