Product Overview
The UR12e (SKU 200882) is the most specialized variant in the UR12e lineup — a DC-powered OEM configuration running Universal Robots' next-generation PolyScope X software on the CB5.6 controller, shipped without a teach pendant. It is purpose-built for system integrators and machine builders working with mobile platforms, battery-powered systems, and custom DC-bus power architectures where AC mains power is unavailable, impractical, or undesirable.
Think autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), portable inspection platforms, offshore or remote installations, and custom enclosures powered from centralized DC bus systems. The UR12e DC gives you the full collaborative robot motion platform — 12.5 kg payload, 1300 mm reach, PolyScope X's OptiMove and API capabilities — in a package that fits cleanly into DC-native power architectures without conversion losses or additional AC infrastructure.

OEM DC Controller: What It Means
DC Power Input
The CB5.6 OEM DC controller is powered directly from a DC source — a battery pack, a DC bus, or a regulated DC power supply — rather than AC mains. This eliminates the need for AC power infrastructure and avoids AC-to-DC conversion losses, improving overall system efficiency in battery-powered platforms where every watt matters.
No Teach Pendant
On mobile platforms, robot control is typically handled by an onboard computer, a fleet management system, or a remote operator interface — not a tethered pendant. If pendant access is needed for maintenance or commissioning, a Standard TP or 3PE TP can be connected to the CB5.6 controller separately.
OEM DC vs. OEM AC — Choosing the Right Power Configuration
- OEM DC (this SKU, 200882): DC bus or battery input. Choose this for AGVs, AMRs, mobile platforms, portable systems, offshore/remote installations, or any DC-native power architecture.
- OEM AC (SKU 200881): Standard AC mains input. Choose this for fixed factory installations, production lines, and stationary cells with standard wall or panel power.
- If you are unsure which power configuration your system requires, consult your electrical engineer or system architect before ordering.
Software: PolyScope X NEW
This SKU ships with PolyScope X on the CB5.6 controller — Universal Robots' next-generation platform introduced in 2025. For mobile and OEM deployments, PolyScope X's API-first architecture and offline programming capability are particularly valuable.
Key PolyScope X Features for Mobile & OEM Deployments
OptiMoveAdvanced motion control for smoother paths and reduced vibration — critical on mobile platforms where base movement and robot motion must coordinate cleanly.
Offline ProgrammingDevelop and validate programs in a lab or office before deploying to the mobile platform. No robot connection needed during development.
URScript & RTDEFull programmatic control via TCP/IP for integration with onboard computers, ROS navigation stacks, and fleet management software.
Dashboard ServerRemote program loading, robot state monitoring, and control from a fleet management system without a physical pendant on the platform.
Application VariablesPersistent variables across program runs — useful for stateful task execution coordinated with an AMR's navigation and mission planning system.
Modules & FunctionsReusable program templates for standardized task execution across a fleet of identical mobile manipulation platforms.
World-Centric FramesReduces re-teaching when the mobile base docks at different stations with slight positional variation.
ROS IntegrationCompatible with ROS-based navigation and manipulation stacks via Ethernet/IP and RTDE — a natural fit for research and advanced mobile robotics platforms.
