Overview

The mid-size arm of UR's e-Series (launched at Automatica 2018 alongside the 3 kg UR3e and 12.5 kg UR10e), and the most familiar cobot in factories and labs. UR's current e-Series page lists the UR3e, UR7e and UR12e; the UR7e shares the UR5e's 850 mm reach and 20.6 kg weight with a 7.5 kg rating, so it appears to be the re-rated successor. A newer g-Series targets heavier payloads.
