UR5e
UR5e is the e‑Series all-rounder, balancing reach, payload, and footprint for a broad mix of automation tasks. With a 5 kg payload and 850 mm reach, it comfortably spans workspaces that include conveyors, assembly fixtures, test stations, and packaging lines. Many users adopt UR5e as their first cobot, then reuse the same programming know-how and tooling across later deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
UR5e’s payload and reach cover many common tasks, and its modest size makes installation easier. This combination lets teams learn on one platform and reuse that knowledge widely.
The arm is light enough to be mounted on mobile bases or wheeled carts so it can serve different machines or lines over the course of a week or a product’s lifecycle.
Yes. A large catalog of UR+ certified devices—grippers, screwdrivers, cameras, and software—can be plugged in and configured with dedicated user interface blocks.
UR5e is frequently paired with 2D and 3D vision systems for tasks such as bin picking, orientation detection, and quality inspection, using URCaps to streamline integration.
Users can configure speed and force limits, define virtual walls, and establish reduced speed zones so that the robot adapts its behavior when people approach the work area.
Yes, UR5e is designed for industrial duty cycles and is used by many manufacturers in multi-shift environments, provided preventive maintenance guidelines are followed.
