Universal Robots UR30 Review Summary
The UR30 is the highest-payload cobot in the Universal Robots range. It carries 30 kg, extendable to 35 kg within defined boundary conditions, across a 1300 mm reach at up to 4 m/s TCP speed, in an IP65-rated arm. It is built for heavy machine tending, material handling, palletizing of heavy products and high-torque screwdriving, and is listed from USD 59,600.
Pros
30 kg payload, extendable to 35 kg
63.5 kg arm weight, lighter than the FAIRINO FR30
IP65 and ISO Class 4 cleanroom rating
4 m/s maximum TCP speed
UL 1740 certification
Cons
Repeatability of ±0.1 mm
1300 mm reach is shorter than the 1403 mm of the FAIRINO FR30
Starting price of USD 59,600 is more than three times that of the FAIRINO FR30
Who It Is For
The UR30 fits plants that need to automate heavy lifting in a compact cell and want IP65 protection and the UR software ecosystem. Buyers focused on price should compare it with the FAIRINO FR30; if you need reach more than payload, look at the UR20.
