At Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd., we take pride in supplying the most innovative automation solutions in the world. Among our most remarkable products is Universal Robots’ (UR) series of articulated robot arms, or cobots. These lightweight, flexible six-axis robot arms from UR have reinvented the world of industrial robotics, giving manufactures a quick return on investment in more than 40 countries around the world.

These Danish-designed articulated robot arms by UR boost production by automating tasks across the entire industrial landscape. They are quicker, easier to implement, and more affordable than similar products by competitors are, and they are simple to use as they work right alongside employees. Users can program them easily through an intuitive touchscreen for top precision handling and performance. Another plus is that cobots are ISO-compliant.

As UR’s preferred Canadian distributor, Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd. carries the following designs of these articulated robot arms:

• UR3. Weighs 11 kilograms (kg), with a payload of six kg and a reach of 50 centimetres (cm).
• UR5. Weighs 18.4 kg, with a payload of five kg and a reach of 85 cm.
• UR10. Weighs 28.9 kg, with a payload of ten kg and a reach of 1.3 metres.

We also supply the accompanying controller and pendant, which feature a graphical user interface on a 30-cm touchscreen and communicate through TCP/IP with Ethernet sockets and Modbus TCP.

The UR3 cobot is the world’s most flexible and lightweight six-axis tabletop robot for working alongside human workers. This automated power tool is highly recommended for small-format precision tasks, offering powerful performance and high force control. It is also very easy to program. For a look at the UR3 in action, watch the video below:

In addition to UR cobots, we also distribute products by other manufacturers that work with these robot arms. For example, Asyril SA produces the URCaps plugin, which integrates feeders with cobots, while Blue Danube Robotics makes a safety skin that lets workers interact with cobots by touch.
