UR5e

The UR5e is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm from Universal Robots (e-Series, launched 2018) with a 5 kg payload capacity and 850 mm reach. Weighing 20.6 kg with a repeatability of plus or minus 0.03 mm, it is designed for tasks such as assembly, pick-and-place, machine tending, and quality inspection in human-adjacent environments. All six joints use Harmonic Drive AG HFUS-2SH strain-wave gears at 100:1 reduction: HFUS-25-2SH for the three larger joints and HFUS-14-2SH for the three smaller joints. The e-Series introduced a built-in force/torque sensor, improved tool-flange I/O, and a redesigned teach pendant vs the CB3 UR5.

Yes. UR5e is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

UR5e's recorded specifications on the DEPLOY registry: Degrees of freedom: 6; Reach: 0.85 m; Weight: 20.6 kg; Payload: 5 kg. See the Specs section for the full sourced set.

UR5e is made by Universal Robots, based in Odense, Denmark, founded in 2005.

4 verified deployments of UR5e are on the DEPLOY registry, including at Stellantis factories, Europe, Craiova, Romania, Volkswagen facilities, Germany.

UR5e is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable cobot robots to UR5e include DOBOT Magician, Dobot CR5, EC66, NEXTAGE.

UR5e and DOBOT Magician (Dobot · 4 deployments) are both cobot robots on the DEPLOY registry. UR5e has 4 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, UR5e ranks in roughly the top 14% of cobot models tracked by the registry.

UR5e is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.

UR5e has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.

The Universal Robots UR5e cobot costs $37,245. It is part of the UR Series high-performance collaborative robot arm family, engineered for maximum speed, precision, and productivity. Universal Robots is the market leader in collaborative robots.
