UR16e
UR16e is the heavyweight within the original e‑Series quartet. It combines a 16 kg payload with a 900 mm reach in a compact form factor, making it ideal for lifting dense parts, handling multiple items at once, or driving high-torque tools. UR16e is often selected when a machine cell needs more muscle but still benefits from a small footprint and collaborative behavior.

Product Description
UR16e is the heavyweight within the original e‑Series quartet. It combines a 16 kg payload with a 900 mm reach in a compact form factor, making it ideal for lifting dense parts, handling multiple items at once, or driving high-torque tools. UR16e is often selected when a machine cell needs more muscle but still benefits from a small footprint and collaborative behavior.
Frequently Asked Questions
If parts, fixtures, or tools regularly approach or exceed 10–12 kg, UR16e provides a comfortable payload margin while keeping the cell compact.
While well suited to machining and metal fabrication, UR16e also fits packaging, automotive components, and other sectors where heavier items must be moved frequently.
Higher payload increases the energy in a collision, so lower speeds and additional protective measures may be needed to maintain safe operation around people.
Yes, as with other UR cobots, UR16e supports flexible mounting orientations provided the structure is stiff enough to handle the loads.
Most UR+ grippers, sensors, and software that support the appropriate payload range can be used with UR16e, which simplifies standardization.
The programming experience is the same, so operators familiar with UR3e or UR5e can usually transition to UR16e quickly.
