Applications for the UR16e Collaborative Robot:

The UR16e excels in tasks that require higher payload capacity within space-constrained environments:

Machine Tending: Automates loading and unloading of CNC machines with heavy components
Material Handling: Moves large or dense parts between stations or conveyors
Heavy Assembly: Handles fasteners, parts, or sub-assemblies in automotive and machinery production
Screwdriving and Bolting: Performs precise fastening tasks with heavy tools or resistance
Packaging and Palletizing: Supports dense or oversized packaging workflows in limited footprint cells

Its high payload-to-size ratio enables manufacturers to replace manual lifting tasks without investing in full-scale industrial robots.
