UR’s “UR+ Application Kits” benefits all members of the collaborative robotics system integration continuum.

Description:
RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awardsobotics Business ReviewIn March 2020, Universal Robots announced the release of 20 “UR+ Application Kits” for its UR family of collaborative robot arms. The kits fall into seven different classes, including Welding, Quality Inspection, Material Handling, Finishing, Machine Tending, Assembly, and Dispensing.

Analysis:
Since 2008, when Universal Robots sold its first six-axis UR5 system, the Odense, Denmark-based company has claimed that the key value proposition of its articulated arms as their ease of setup, integration, programming, and use. As a result, customers could benefit from fast deployment, greater flexibility, and reduced operational costs. However, many small and midsize manufacturers still found cobots to be too difficult to deploy and program, even for common tasks.

Each UR+ Application Kit is designed
to facilitate the automation of such
manufacturing tasks. This benefits everyone
in its collaborative robotics ecosystem,  from
full-stack integrators to small specialty firms
and everyone in between, not to mention in-house
robotics engineers at cobot end users. In addition, Universal Robots’
application-oriented solutions help
the company with continuous product
introductions, an expanding customer
base, and new incremental revenue
streams. - Dan Kara
