MEET THE e-Series FAMILY

A COLLABORATIVE SOLUTION FOR EVERY NEED

The e-Series family has 3 members – the UR3e, UR5e and UR10e. Each cobot has a different reach and payload, but they share the same precision, accuracy and dependability that make them a valuable addition to any production facility.

The UR3e
Small but powerful, the UR3e has a payload of 3kgs and reach radius of 500mm. With 360 degree rotation on all wrist joints and infinite rotation on the end joint, this table- top cobot handles high precision tasks and light assembly tasks with ease.

Technical Specs for UR3e

The UR5e
The medium-sized member of the Universal Robots family is ideal for automating low-weight processing tasks with its 5kgs payload and 850mm reach radius. Easy to program and fast to set up, the UR5e strikes the perfect balance between size and power.

Technical Specs for UR5e

The UR10e
With the ability to automate tasks up to 10kgs with no compromise on precision, the UR10e is the Universal Robots’ family’s most powerful robot. A reach radius of 1300mm also enables it to carry out tasks like packaging and palletizing in facilities where there is a larger distance between different operating areas. 

Technical Specs for UR10e

 

ADAPTABLE
With 14+ applications, you can automate almost anything with Universal Robots cobots.




COST-EFFECTIVE
Five times (5X) less expensive than traditional industrial robots.




24/7 TRAINING
Avaliable with UR's free online training program.
On-site training at FPE Automation is also available. 

THE e-Series
A NEW ROBOT FAMILY

This new family mimics the payload (3KG, 5KG and 10KG) and reach (500mm, 850mm and 1300mm) you've come to expect from the world's most popular cobots, while adding some impressive new features.

The e-Series is designed to integrate seamlessly into all production facilities, regardless of what or where you’re producing. No matter what industry you belong to, change production as you know it with the e-Series.

Automotive & Subcontractor

From laser-cutting rigs to engine foundries, automate almost any stage in your automotive production line with the highly versatile e-Series. Our cobots can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines to take over critical and high precision tasks while maintaining production quality.

Food & Agriculture

Keep food and ingredient wastage to a minimum with the e-Series, which works around the clock with high precision and minimal errors. The cobots are also equipped with outer casings designed to reduce dust and debris accumulation, to keep up with hygiene and safety standards in your production facility.

Electronics & Technology

The tech industry is a fast moving one with products constantly evolving to meet new needs. Keep up with the changes on your production line with the e-Series, which can be easily deployed to take on new tasks involving sensitive and dangerous machinery.

Furniture & Equipment

Let the e-Series take over the labour intensive tasks on your furniture and equipment production line. On top of relieving workers of physical burdens, the e-Series also improves the fit and finish of your products through raising levels of precision and consistency in production.

Metal & Machining

Dangerous machinery, multiple processes and specialized products these common characteristics of the metal and machining industry pose no deterrence to the e-Series. The cobots are well equipped to work in dangerous environments with high accuracy and efficiency to enhance production with minimal risk to employees.

Plastic & Polymers

With materials requiring different processing and temperature ranges, flexibility is crucial on the plastic and polymers production line. The highly agile e-Series can be used across all areas of plastic and polymer production to meet changing demands, extending production capabilities while reducing employee exposure to noxious gases given off during production.

Pharma & Chemistry

Designed to meet the healthcare industry’s specifications for accuracy, precision and hygiene, the e-Series takes on mundane tasks like product dispensing and sorting with minimal error. The risk of human contamination in highly delicate tasks can also be reduced by deploying the e-Series in environments which require sterile handling.

Scientific & Research

High accuracy and repeatability make the e-Series optimal for scientific research and analysis, where objective information gathering is crucial. The highly affordable cobots serve as valuable tools for teaching and development of innovative solutions in an increasing number of research institutes and universities.

Don’t see your industry on the list?

The e-Series is designed to integrate seamlessly into all production facilities, regardless of what or where you’re producing. No matter what industry you belong to, change production as you know it with the e-Series.

New MiR500 Collaborative Industrial Robot

A bigger, stronger and faster MiR Developed to meet the needs of your customers The MiR500 is what you have been waiting for. It is an extremely robust robot designed perfectly industrial environments. With a payload of up to 500 kg, the robot autonomously transports pallets using the MIR500 Pallet Lift.  You can also choose to design you own top modules to serve your specific needs, all with the same user-friendly interface as other MiR robots. The MiR500 will be ready for shipment starting October 1st. With the MiR500 we once again are setting new standards for how companies can use autonomous mobile robots. As you know, we continuously invest in product development to maintain our status as the leading global supplier of mobile robots. Please welcome our latest innovation and get ready to boost your business. We are ready - I really hope you are too. Best regards, Thomas Visti CEO  Watch MiR500 Meet MiR500  The new MiR500 joins the MiR100 and MiR200 to form a complete fleet of flexible and easy-to-program MiR robots for both heavy and light transport that can optimize logistics throughout the entire production chain, from the warehouse to the delivery of goods. With a lifting capacity of 500 kg (1102 lbs) it can automatically collect, transport and deliver pallets with speeds of nearly 7.2 kilometers (4.5 miles) per hour. The high speed of the MiR500 streamlines pallet transport in all types of companies and frees up employees so they can carry out more valuable activities. Safe and efficient maneuvering The collaborative MIR500 safely maneuvers around people and physical obstacles. With its advanced technology and sophisticated software, the robot autonomously navigates to find the most efficient path to its destination. When it meets obstacles, it will automatically re-route to avoid costly lags in logistics processes. MiR500 is equipped with the latest laser-scanning technology that delivers a 360-degree visual for optimal safety. 3D cameras have a range of 0-3.5 meters above floor level to detect pallets as well as identify and avoid floor openings such as stairwells. Optimize Euro-pallet transportation without changing facility layout There is no need to change facility layout for the MiR500 as the function of wires, magnets or QR codes is replaced by sophisticated navigation software. Simply download CAD files of the facility to the robot or use its laser scanners to create a map - that’s all it takes to ensure a fast and cost-efficient implementation. A robust robot for the industry MiR500 is compliant with ISO/EN 13849 and fulfills the EMC requirement for industrial and light industrial use. The rugged MiR500 is designed for industry use with a robust exterior that can withstand dropped cargo and can easily navigate up and down ramps and even through shallow water puddles. Highly user friendly and flexible The user-friendly MiR500 gives you full control of the robot from the very start. MiR500 is controlled with the intuitive MiR Robot Interface via smartphone, tablet or PC, and can be programmed without any prior experience. The robot can also be integrated into your ERP system for a fully automated solution. With the ability to quickly and easily integrate different top modules, the MiR500 can be equipped with pallet forks, conveyors, a robot arm or other options to support a wide range of applications. The user interface matches that used in the MiR100 and MiR200, which already optimize production processes in many of the world’s biggest multinational companies such as Airbus, Flex, Honeywell, Hitachi and Danone. The difference is the MiR500’s size, lifting capacity and areas of application. Download the MiR500 brochure Download the MiR500 data sheet Download the MiR500 Pallet Lift data sheet
