The ‘e’ in the new e-Series stands for Evolution and underpins Universal Robots’ key vision and overall product philosophy of Empowering People and making it Easy for Everyone. With a new built-in, tool-centric Force/Torque sensor the e-Series is ready to take on applications requiring force control right out of the box, such as assembly, sanding, buffing, polishing, and deburring where force-feedback is paramount in order to obtain uniform results. Additionally, the Force/Torque sensor can be used to measure mass and perform related inspection processes or precisely detect contact. A repeatability of 30 micron (0.03mm) in the UR3e and UR5e models and 50 micron (0.05mm) in the UR10e means the new cobots are suitable for very precise finishing, assembly and electronics tasks
The e-Series offers unparalleled convenience; it takes just one hour to unpack the cobot, mount it, and program the first task. A new wrist-joint-tool communication interface reduces production line integration time and the hassle associated with routing cables between the end-effector and control cabinet. As the catalog and capability of UR+ end-effectors have grown so has the need for increased tool power consumption. To address this emerging need the e-Series platform tool power supply now supports up to 2A of peak current. The new cobot line also adds 4 additional digital inputs with an associated interface for use with conveyor tracking
