Lightweight Deployability — Precision Tasks. Anywhere You Need It.

7.5 kg Payload 850 mm Reach ±0.03 mm Repeatability 17 Safety Functions IP54 Rated PolyScope 5 & PolyScope X

The Cobot That Fits Anywhere

The UR7e is Universal Robots' most deployable light-to-medium payload cobot — the direct successor to the popular UR5e, and the right choice for anyone who needs precision automation in tight spaces, on existing production lines, or in environments where the robot needs to move between tasks as often as it runs them.

With 7.5 kg of payload, 850 mm of reach — extending 200 mm beyond the average worker's arm — and a footprint of just Ø 151 mm, the UR7e fits into workcells that other robots can't. It mounts on a table, within a machine, on a wall, or upside down from a gantry. It redeploys to a new task in minutes. And it runs on about the same power as a desktop computer.

Whether you're automating screwdriving on an electronics line, tending a CNC machine, running quality inspection in a pharmaceutical cell, or dispensing adhesive on a precision assembly fixture, the UR7e delivers ±0.03 mm repeatability and collaborative flexibility to do it right — every cycle, every shift.

Why the UR7e

Fits Into Existing LinesThe Ø151 mm footprint and 20.6 kg weight mean the UR7e mounts on a standard work table, inside a machine enclosure, on a wall, or ceiling — without restructuring your production layout.
Ready in Under an HourAn untrained operator can unpack, mount, and run a first task in under an hour. No robotics background required. PolyScope's graphical interface gets your team productive the same day.
Precision You Can Rely On±0.03 mm repeatability puts the UR7e in a class suited for precision assembly, electronics manufacturing, screwdriving, and inspection tasks where consistency is non-negotiable.
Redeploy in MinutesLightweight enough for one person to reposition, and fast to reprogram for a new task. Your automation investment follows your work — not the other way around.
Runs Lights-Out at Low CostAt ~250 W typical, the UR7e draws about the same power as a desktop computer while running unattended around the clock. Maximize throughput without inflating your energy bill.
Safe Alongside People17 configurable safety functions, force/torque sensing on all 6 joints, and ISO/TS 15066 compliance enable human-robot collaboration — often without barriers or cages, subject to risk assessment.

Common Applications

The UR7e's compact size, high precision, and 850 mm reach make it the go-to choice for light-to-medium automation across a wide range of industries. Its ±0.03 mm repeatability opens doors to applications that heavier cobots simply can't serve.

Machine Tending

The UR7e's slim profile was built for machine enclosures. It reaches inside open CNC lathes, milling centers, and injection moulding machines to load and unload parts — accessing tight spaces that larger cobots can't enter. Run unattended across shifts with consistent, repeatable part placement every cycle.

Assembly & Electronics Manufacturing

The UR7e works directly alongside operators on electronics assembly and selective soldering lines — no safety cage required in appropriate applications. Its compact footprint integrates into existing line layouts without redesign, and its ±0.03 mm repeatability ensures consistent component placement on every board, every shift.

Pick & Place / Material Handling

Fast, accurate, tireless. The UR7e handles continuous pick-and-place — sorting, kitting, packing, and transferring parts between stations — at a pace and consistency no manual process can match. Program once, run indefinitely. When a product changes, reprogram and redeploy the same day.

Precision CNC Tending & Component Handling

The UR7e's ±0.03 mm repeatability makes it the right tool for precision component handling in high-tolerance manufacturing environments. Here at OptiPro Systems, a UR cobot picks and places optical lens blanks from organized trays into a CNC grinding machine — running unattended while the machine cycles. Consistent part presentation at every pick means consistent machining results on every part.

Quality Inspection & 3D Metrology

Mount a camera, structured-light scanner, laser profiler, or contact probe and let the UR7e run your inspection cycle automatically. Consistent probe positioning at ±0.03 mm repeatability delivers measurement data you can trust — and eliminates the operator variability that manual inspection can't avoid. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, and precision manufacturing QC cells.

Motion Control

Smooth, precise movement matters most in the applications the UR7e excels at — dispensing, soldering, screwdriving, and precision assembly all demand consistent path accuracy and controlled force. All UR7e variants include UR's core motion control algorithms, designed for low joint wear, high repeatability, and reliable path accuracy at speed.

PolyScope X variants (SKU 200853–200856) add OptiMove — Universal Robots' advanced motion layer that reduces vibration, smooths complex paths, and improves cycle speed for process-critical applications where path deviation directly affects output quality.


Connectivity & I/O

All UR7e variants share the same I/O and communications suite — consistent across both software platforms:

Communication Protocols Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT (via URCap), ROS/ROS2
Digital I/O 8 DI / 8 DO (controller) + 2 DI / 2 DO (tool flange)
Analog I/O 2 AI / 2 AO (controller) + 2 AI (tool flange)
Tool Flange Power 12 V / 24 V at tool connector
