UR + Certified Tool for Robot Arms

Triple Lifting Ability

No task is too heavy for the collaborative robot arms of Universal Robots, thanks to a newly developed UR + certified tool. At Dana Lim's factory in Køge, Denmark, a robotic arm lifts up to 30kg - three times more than before. This is made possible by connecting a vacuum lifter to the robotic arm.

A UR 10 robotic arm is the focal point of the pioneering palletizing/pick & place solution developed by the owner of Cobot Lift, Flemming Bischoff Truelsen, in September 2017 for Dana Lim's factory in Køge. A solution consisting of a UR10 robotic arm coupled with a manual vacuum lifter. With a weekly production of 200-250 tonnes of filler, it adds up to a lot of heavy lifting, when 15-25kg of heavy bags with spray packs have to be packed on pallets before leaving Dana Lim's production. Previously, an older robotic cell handled the task alone, but due to increasing demand, more capacity for palletizing was needed.

The solution is a newly developed tool that connects the robot arm with the vacuum lifter and increases the performance of the free standing robot's lifting capacity up to 30kg. That tool has now been UR + certified, which means that UR's product warranty will continue even if used outside the original specifications. "Getting UR + certified is a huge recognition. Now we are looking forward to many more companies benefiting from the Cobot Lift," says Flemming Bischoff Truelsen, e.g. via the german distributor Müller Maschinentechnik. He elaborates: "The lifting capacity of the UR robotic arm can be increased so significantly by coupling it with the right tool, which enables it to solve even more types of tasks - including tasks that have been reserved for the big industrial robots so far."
