The compact heavy-duty cobot
The UR18 combines strength and agility, supporting larger end effectors to lift heavier payloads while remaining light enough for easy mounting on most standard gantry systems. With a 950 mm reach and speeds up to 4 m/s, it’s ideal for fast-paced pick-and-place deployments where reducing cycle times is crucial.
The UR18 gives manufacturers more capability without compromise. It combines the strength to handle heavier payloads with the speed and flexibility our customers expect, enabling them to achieve new levels of efficiency.
Keith Fox, Chief Product Officer at Universal Robots.
Built to deliver power and efficiency
The UR18 is built to deliver both power and efficiency, making it the perfect choice for manufacturers who need to move more faster. Unlike other robots that force you to choose between heavy payload capacity and agile performance, the UR18 gives you both.
With a 950 mm reach and rapid motion capabilities of up to 4 m/s, the UR18 is tailor-made for high-throughput pick-and-place operations. That means shorter cycle times, higher productivity and more output from the same floor space. For operations under constant pressure to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the UR18 is a smart investment that pays back quickly in both performance and flexibility.
UR18 will launch with UR’s upgraded freedrive and advanced motion capabilities, including OptiMove and MotionPlus, UR’s new advanced motion control technology designed to support better control and smoother movements.
Like all cobots in the UR Series, UR18 has UL1740 certification, allowing safe human–robot collaboration, simplifying compliance with leading industrial safety requirements, and ensuring faster integration on the factory floor.
