Hi, I’m currently comparing performance of different robots for cycle-time optimized applications. In this context, the new UR15 model has caught my attention. While the demos seem quite impressive, so far, I was not able to find actual values for the accelerations it can do. Are there any official figures regarding the maximum TCP and joint accelerations that this robot can perform?
Kind Regards
I doubt you can find any actual numbers. The acceleration is highly dependant on the payload of the robot arm. And the acceleration will always be the “weakness” of the UR robots.
The gears and motors are not as powerful or sturdy as non-collaborative industrial robots, since they really are designed for collaborative tasks (slower movement speeds).
UR robots are just not designed for high-speed, repetitive tasks in my opinion. It baffles me that one of the main selling points of the UR15 is its high movement speed.
