Canonical robot record
Overview
The UR30 is a collaborative robot arm from Universal Robots designed to lift heavy loads while occupying a compact footprint. It targets demanding industrial tasks such as palletizing, machine tending, and heavy-duty material handling, and its higher torque capability also makes it suitable for precise screw-driving applications.
The robot delivers strong lifting capacity together with superior motion control, enabling accurate placement of large payloads. As part of Universal Robots' heavy-payload range, it shares the company's PolyScope programming environment and the ease-of-use approach common across its cobot portfolio.
Unveiled in late 2023 and entering shipment in early 2024, the UR30 expanded Universal Robots' lineup toward higher-payload collaborative automation while remaining easy to relocate between work cells.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.

Record changelog
- Name: Ur30 changed to UR30 · Jul 29, 2026
brand-official name stylization (2026-07-28 image/name audit)
- Payload Capacity: 30 kg changed to 30 kg (35 kg with boundary conditions per manual) · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-5 verification (corrected): Base rating remains 30 kg, but since PolyScope 5.19 (Sept 2024 software update) UR rates the UR30 at 35 kg 'with boundary conditions according to manual'; UR's prod
- Repeatability: ±0.05 mm changed to ±0.1 mm · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-5 verification (corrected): Official datasheet: UR30 'Pose repeatability per ISO 9283 ± 0.1 mm'. ±0.05 mm is the e-Series UR10e/UR16e value — spec bleed.
- IP Rating: IP54 changed to IP65 · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-5 verification (corrected): Official datasheet: UR30 'IP65 water protection'. IP54 is the e-Series rating — spec bleed from the older series.
- Communication: Ethernet, Modbus TCP, PROFINET changed to Ethernet, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET/PROFIsafe, ROS/ROS2 · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-5 verification (corrected): Current value accurate but incomplete. Official control-box spec lists industrial protocols Modbus TCP (Client/Server), EtherNet/IP Adapter, PROFINET device/PROFIsa
