Five benefits for your business


FAST SET-UP

 
Even untrained operators are in for a surprise the first time they are to set up a UR robot arm. Unpacking the robot, mounting it and programming the first simple task typically takes less than an hour. As experienced by our customers, the average time to carry out a complete set-up is just half a day.
 

EASY PROGRAMMING

 
Operators with no programming experience can quickly program the UR robot arms thanks to patented, intuitive 3D visualization. All he or she needs to do is move the robot arm to the desired waypoints or touch the arrow keys on the easy-to-use touchscreen tablet.
 

FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT

 
Production set-ups today often need to be flexible and agile in order to meet changing demands and stay competitive. And Universal Robots won’t be the one to limit you; on the contrary, our light-weight UR robot arms are easily moved and re-deployed to new processes, enabling you to automate virtually any manual task, including those with small batches or fast change-overs.
 

FASTEST PAYBACK IN THE INDUSTRY

 
The collaborative UR robot arms come with an average payback time of 195 days. That’s the fastest in the industry – quite simply because UR robot arms are void of all the added costs traditionally associated with automation such as external programming resources and shielded work cells.
 

COLLABORATIVE AND SAFE

 
Universal Robots has been the frontrunner of collaborative robotics since the term was coined so rest assured that you are in the safest of hands when you choose our robots. More than 80% of the UR robot arms in operation worldwide works right next to humans – with no safety guards to shield them. And cobots are more than happy to do the jobs that human operators find repetitive and dull.

Programming a UR robot arm is pure child’s play

 
When you choose Universal Robots, intuitive programming is all part of the deal. One of the most tangible benefits is that you can easily re-program the UR robot arms yourself and make use of automation wherever and whenever it best suits you.

The UR robots are designed to mimic the range of motion of a human arm and incidentally all it takes to program and reprogram the robotic arms is a human arm. It doesn’t get any easier – and perhaps most importantly it eliminates the need for expensive third-party programmers every time you want to assign the robot arm to a different task. The intuitive software allows even the most inexperienced user to quickly grasp the basics of programming and set waypoints by simply moving the robot into position. And if you have recurring tasks, programs can be stored in the UR robot arm and re-used.

Universal Robots Academy is a new online training program. Through engaging hands-on experiences, simulations and interactive robot animations you will quickly acquire the skills to program and operate a UR robot without any further assistance. Access the Universal Robots Academy whenever and wherever you want to – it is open 24/7 and completely free of charge. Begin your online training on universal-robots.com/academy
