UR17g-1300 Medium-Reach Cobot

Q: What are the UR17g-1300's payload and reach?

The Universal Robots UR17g-1300 has a 15 kg (33.1 lb) payload, a 17.5 kg (38.6 lb) extended payload and a 1300 mm (51.2 in) reach. It weighs 40.7 kg (89.7 lb) on a Ø204 mm footprint, repeats to ±0.05 mm and reaches 5 m/s at the tool center point. Universal Robots describes it as a compact, lightweight arm that keeps cycle times tight as tasks get more complex.

Q: Does the UR17g-1300 replace the UR15?

Yes. Universal Robots lists the UR17g-1300 as the successor to the UR15, as part of the g-Series robot family released in 2026 on the Gen 7 platform. It adds 1 Gb Ethernet, 24/48 V power and safety-rated inputs at the tool flange. Universal Robots says the UR15 remains fully supported, with service, spare parts and software updates continuing.

Q: Should I choose the UR17g-1300 or an e-Series cobot?

Universal Robots recommends the e-Series (UR3e-540, UR7e-920 and UR12e-1300) for lighter payloads and shorter reaches, such as workbench automation, inspection, dispensing and lighter machine tending. Choose a g-Series arm like the UR17g-1300 when you need more payload or reach, cycle times are critical, or you are connecting cameras and smarter end-of-arm tools. Both families share the same programming language and the UR+ ecosystem.

Q: What connections does the UR17g-1300 have at the tool flange?

The UR17g-1300 tool flange has an M12 X-coded 1 Gb Ethernet port, an M8 power connector supplying 24 or 48 V (5 A peak, 3 A continuous), and an M8 I/O connector with digital I/O, a safety input, and analog inputs or RS-485. Cameras, sensors and higher-power grippers connect without external cabling to the controller, and a force/torque sensor is built in.

Q: Who sells and supports the UR17g-1300 in New Jersey?

The Knotts Company in Berkeley Heights, NJ, a Universal Robots partner since 2017, sells and supports the Universal Robots UR17g-1300 for manufacturers in New Jersey, New York and Eastern Pennsylvania.
