Canonical robot record
Overview
The UR3e is the smallest member of Universal Robots' e-Series of collaborative robot arms, engineered for compact, tight-workspace automation. Its six rotating joints and small footprint make it well suited to bench-top tasks and applications where space is limited.
The robot targets light-duty operations such as assembly, pick-and-place, screwdriving, gluing, and small-parts handling. Built-in force/torque sensing and a set of configurable safety functions allow it to work alongside people in industrial settings, subject to a risk assessment.
Programming is handled through the PolyScope touchscreen interface on the teach pendant, with support for common industrial communication protocols and a wide range of tooling via the standard tool flange.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.
