Universal Robots is increasing the payload capacities of its UR20 and UR30 collaborative robot arms by 5 kg each. This raises the payload capacity, including the end-effector, to 25 kg and 35 kg, respectively, when using the cobot in top lift position. Universal Robots said the added strength will come in especially handy for palletizing applications.
