Overview
Fastest cobot in Universal Robots' UR Series and its lightest member: 15 kg payload (17.5 kg with boundary conditions), 1300 mm reach, 5 m/s maximum TCP speed and 40.7 kg arm weight. IP65 and ISO Class 4 cleanroom rated, with a force-torque sensor at the tool flange, a light ring at the base and a 12-inch PolyScope touchscreen. Announced at Automate 2025 in Detroit for pick-and-place, palletizing, machine tending and similar cycle-time-critical work. It sits between the UR12e and the heavier UR20 in payload and is a new-series model rather than a replacement for one specific e-Series arm.
Will the Universal Robots UR15 do your task? Simulate it before you buy.
Four cobots on the same palletizing task, simulated before purchase.
We build your station in a simulator with the Universal Robots UR15 and one or two alternatives, and send you video plus cycle time, parts per shift, reach and payload check, and a payback estimate. Scoping is free, and every project is quoted individually.

Key facts
- Payload 15 kg, or 17.5 kg 'with boundary conditions according to the manual' (datasheet, updated September 2026); UR's launch release says 17.5 kg applies in wrist-down orientations such as palletizing. Reach 1300 mm.
- Repeatability ±0.05 mm (ISO 9283). Max TCP speed 5 m/s; joint speeds 180°/s (base, shoulder), 240°/s (elbow), 300°/s (all three wrists); all six joints ±360°.
- Weight 40.7 kg without cable; footprint Ø204 mm; arm cable 6 m; noise < 67 dB(A); max power 550 W; control box 12 kg, 100-240 V AC.
- sdk is set true on the basis of the sibling UR20 entry (URScript/RTDE); the UR15 datasheet itself lists ROS/ROS2 but no SDK. Fieldbus: Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET / PROFIsafe, ROS/ROS2; 23 configurable safety functions.
- Announced 12 May 2025 at Automate in Detroit; UR claims up to 30% shorter pick-and-place cycle times than other UR models (vendor claim, not independently verified). Orders opened at launch with shipping from June 2025 (UR press release, fetched 2026-10-17). Runs PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X.
- UR's own pages are inconsistent about the name: the page universal-robots.com/products/ur15/ currently serves a 'UR17g-1300' product (same 15 / 17.5 kg payload, 1300 mm reach, 40.7 kg, g-Series tool-flange connectivity, noise < 55 dB(A)), while the UR15 datasheet (September 2026) and the 2025 launch page still use 'UR15'. This entry follows the UR15 datasheet; whether UR17g-1300 is a rename or a flange variant is not stated on the fetched pages.
- Vention's EUR 43,412 listing includes control box and teach pendant, so it is not directly comparable with arm-only prices of other robots in the catalog.
- Identity open point: UR's current product page universal-robots.com/products/ur15/ serves the 'UR17g-1300' (same payload, reach and weight). Treated here as a possible rename or flange variant of the UR15; UR's fetched pages do not say which. If UR confirms a rename, this entry should be renamed with a predecessor link rather than duplicated.
