UR20 (e‑Series Architecture Variant)
UR20 extends the e‑Series concept into a new generation of larger cobots designed for tall palletizing, long-reach machine tending, and heavy handling. With a reach of 1750 mm and a payload rating that allows handling of substantial boxes or components, UR20 can cover an entire pallet from a single position and still share workspace thanks to its collaborative design philosophy. Although mechanically updated, its user experience and safety concepts remain aligned with the e‑Series family.

Frequently Asked Questions
UR20 is ideal when pallets are tall, work areas are wide, or product weights are high enough that smaller cobots cannot cover the task without multiple positions or additional axes.
Yes. Programs, safety concepts, and integration patterns carry over, reducing the learning curve for teams with prior UR experience.
UR20 is commonly equipped with large-area vacuum grippers, multi-cup end effectors, or robust mechanical grippers designed for heavy cases and irregular loads.
UR20 follows the same collaborative philosophy, but its higher payload and reach mean that careful risk assessment and appropriate safety measures remain essential.
Yes, when paired with suitable software and vision or barcode systems, UR20 can build mixed pallets by dynamically adjusting pick and place positions.
UR20 extends the range of tasks that can be cobotized while still using the same programming environment, making it straightforward to add alongside smaller UR cobots in the same facility.
