description Universal Robots UR16e Overview
The UR16e is a leading collaborative robot (cobot) designed to work safely alongside humans without safety fences. It offers a 16kg payload and a 1300mm reach, making it ideal for assembly, machine tending, and palletizing in small-to-medium enterprises. Its intuitive 'teach pendant' and Polyscope software allow operators with minimal coding experience to program complex paths quickly. The UR16e is highly flexible and can be redeployed across different production lines easily.
help Universal Robots UR16e FAQ
What can the Universal Robots UR16e lift?
The UR16e has a maximum payload of 16 kg, or about 35.2 pounds. That payload must include the gripper and any other tooling attached to the robot.
What is the actual reach of the UR16e?
Universal Robots specifies a reach of 900 mm, or 35.4 inches. The 1,300 mm figure sometimes associated with this model belongs to other robot configurations and is not the documented UR16e reach.
Can a UR16e always operate beside people without fencing?
No cobot is automatically fence-free in every application. The UR16e has 17 configurable safety functions, but the complete installation, tool, workpiece, speed, and pinch hazards still require a formal risk assessment.
How is the UR16e programmed for machine tending or palletizing?
Operators program it through the PolyScope graphical interface on a 12-inch touchscreen teach pendant. The arm has six rotating joints and can also use certified grippers, vision systems, and application kits from the UR ecosystem.
