Understanding the Difference Between UR10e and UR12e

FAQ on the UR10e to UR12e renaming and what it means for your robot

What changed?

  • The UR12e is mechanically and technically identical to the UR10e.

  • The only difference is the name.

  • Universal Robots rebranded the UR10e to better reflect its true payload capacity of 12.5 kg.

Why did Universal Robots rename it?

  • The "UR10e" name was misleading, suggesting a 10 kg payload.

  • As the robot actually supports 12.5 kg, the new "UR12e" name aligns with UR's updated naming convention (e.g., UR3e, UR5e, UR20e).

Is the UR12e compatible with my existing UR10e setup?

Yes. All software, accessories, URCaps, and Robotiq solutions that work with the UR10e are fully compatible with the UR12e.

Do I need to update my documentation or programs?

  • No changes are required for functionality.

  • If you reference the robot model name in documentation or user training, you may choose to update that to UR12e for clarity.

Will the robot label or part number change?

  • New units are labeled UR12e.

  • The core part number may be updated by UR, but all mechanical and software interfaces remain unchanged.

Conclusion: The UR12e is simply a rebranded UR10e—no functional changes, just a clearer name. If you're using or supporting UR10e robots, you can treat UR12e models exactly the same.
