How much does the Universal Robots UR5e cost?
The publicly listed reference price of the Universal Robots UR5e is US$28,000 – US$35,000. Reference price range for the bare Universal Robots UR5e 6-axis collaborative robot arm in the international distribution market (excluding end-effector gripper and vision kit).
Overview
The Universal Robots UR5e is a 6-DOF collaborative robot arm simulation model intended for developers.
The forearm link mass is set to 2.275 kg, affecting the dynamic response characteristics of the arm motion simulation. The wrist end link mass is 0.1889 kg, determining the simulated inertia properties of the end-effector. The upper arm link mass is 8.393 kg, a key component of the arm dynamics simulation model. The base link mass is 4.0 kg, with a diagonal inertia including 0.00443333156.
A model file named ur5e is provided for developers in the MuJoCo simulation environment.
