The advantages of UR robots over other small robots in the market.
Firstly, let’s talk about precision. While UR robots may not be as precise as ABB, Kuka, Fanuc, or Yaskawa/Motoman robots, they still offer a satisfactory level of precision for most applications. The collaborative nature of UR robots does require them to operate at a slightly slower speed to ensure compliance with energy dissipation standards. However, with a maximum joint speed of 191 degrees/second for the UR5 and UR10, and 363 degrees/second on the UR3 wrist, UR robots still move relatively fast.
In terms of speed, it is true that competitor robots can sometimes move faster. This is primarily due to the collaborative nature of UR robots, which limits the amount of energy that can be dissipated. However, UR robots compensate for this by offering a larger range of motion. With +/- 360º of rotation on every joint, UR robots can work in a much larger envelope than their competitors. This allows for better path optimization and increased efficiency in certain installations.
One of the biggest advantages of UR robots is their safety features. Even when operating behind a safety zone, UR robots can be equipped with area safety scanners, pressure safety mats, and light curtains. This enables the robot to slow down or reduce its forces when a human approaches, ensuring a safe working environment. In the event of contact with a human, the robot immediately stops and waits for the human to indicate when it can resume operation.
In conclusion, we believe that UR robots offer several key advantages over other small robots. Their ease of deployment and user-friendly programming interface allow for rapid integration into production. Additionally, their range of motion and safety features make them a preferred choice in many applications.
