As Senior Product Manager at Robotiq, I am excited to join CEO Samuel Bouchard in announcing Robotiq's eBook on the latest innovation launched by Universal Robots: the new UR30, a 30 kg payload cobot model. We also took the opportunity to announce the launch of the AX30, our latest Robotiq palletizing solution powering these new cobots. This marks a significant moment in the robotics ecosystem and opens the door to more advanced and efficient turnkey palletizing solutions. This article provides access to the full eBook on the new product launch, presents key elements of the solution, and reveals the implications of this groundbreaking development.

UR30: lightweight and high performance
The UR30 is a compact collaborative robot with high performance capabilities built on the latest collaborative technologies and boasts an impressive lifting capacity relative to its payload. The UR30 therefore unlocks many new applications that require higher payloads and are limited by small footprints.
“The new UR30 and AX30 Robotiq palletizing solutions will open the door to industries requiring higher payloads within limited space. We are excited to witness Universal Robots’ rapid innovation and to provide new palletizing solutions to support it.”
—Samuel Bouchard, Robotiq CEO
Evolution from UR16 to UR30
Compared to the launch of UR16, UR30 is expected to have an even greater impact. As Nicolas pointed out, the UR30 boasts more than double the payload capacity while maintaining the reach of the widely adopted UR10. This breakthrough paves the way for many new and exciting applications.
AX30: Linear axis for palletizing
Robotiq's reasoning for choosing linear axes over fixed pedestals for palletizing applications is primarily reach. The shorter and stronger UR30 has a too restrictive kickstand. The vast majority of applications require a linear axis and we strongly believe this will benefit the UR20 as well.
Industries and Applications
Many industries can benefit from the AX30 palletizing solution. While reaffirming its presence in the food and consumer goods markets, industries such as specialty beverages, small furniture, building materials and replacement parts can benefit from adopting the AX30 cobot palletizing solution. The AX30's expanded payload capacity is seen as a gateway to previously untapped markets, helping more manufacturers address challenges such as labor shortages, increased production or ergonomic concerns.
Comparison of AX30 and industrial robot solutions
An important question emerged. Why choose the AX30 palletizing solution over a traditional robotic solution? The main benefits are clear. footprint. Comparing the small footprint of the AX30 Robotiq palletizing solution with the larger footprint of a typical industrial robotics solution demonstrates the AX30's potential for cost-effectiveness and ease of integration. Learn a case study about a bread manufacturer that chose collaborative robotic palletizing automation over traditional automation.
