High-Payload Cobots with Enhanced Strength
October 1, 2025
Universal Robots (UR) has increased the payload capacity on its new-generation, high-payload collaborative robots (cobots) UR20 and UR30, enabling customers to lift more at no additional cost.
The updates raise the total payload, including end-effector, to 25 kg and 35 kg when utilizing the cobot in top lift position. This is especially useful for palletizing applications and solutions.
"At Universal Robots, we continuously test and develop our products, and when we unlock new features, we want to give partners and customers immediate access," said Tero Tolonen, Chief Product Officer. "This update enables customers to increase productivity without increasing costs, and it is just one example of how our passion for innovation drives benefit to our customers' bottom line."
The additional strength does not require any new purchases, and production updates can happen in just minutes. The increased payload can be unlocked by simply updating UR's PolyScope software to version 5.19 or later. UR20s and UR30s shipped will automatically include the software needed to support the use of higher payloads.
