Universal Robots, a Danish collaborative robot (cobot) company, has increased the payload capacity of its new-generation, high-payload cobots UR20 and UR30. The update raises the total payload, including end-effector, to 25 kg for UR20 and 35 kg for UR30 when used in top lift position. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for palletizing applications.

The increased payload capacity can be unlocked by updating UR's PolyScope software to version 5.19 or later, requiring no new purchases and allowing for quick production updates. Within 2024, shipped UR20s and UR30s will automatically include the necessary software. This upgrade enables customers to boost throughput and productivity at no additional cost, demonstrating Universal Robots' commitment to innovation and customer benefit.
