Flexible Automation

What makes a Robot Collaborative?

Safe to Work with Humans (App. Specific)

Easy to Program

Easy to Set-up/Re-Deploy

Low Cost of Entry

Place control of factory automation back into the

hands of operators.

Tool Vs. Instrument UR sets itself apart by making robots that are tools empowering workers rather than an instrument that performs the same application repeatedly and is very challenging to have do something else.
