PHOENIX Robotics Lifting Column Universal Robots Version

The PHOENIX Robotics UR Version is our lifting column equipped with specialized software for UR robot applications. It has been tested together with our partner Universal Robots and is officially approved for collaborative use.

The lifting column extends the working range of UR cobots by adding a precise vertical axis. It offers maximum stability, easy integration, and high flexibility for collaborative robot applications.

The PHR lifting column is a modular, vertically movable lift system consisting of three telescopic profile columns. These are used for linear height adjustment of equipment or loads in industrial environments, ideally for use with cobot robots.

Features & Benefits

The drive is powered by an integrated electric servo motor, which drives a fixed spindle via a gearbox. When the spindle is actuated, the first profile column moves upward. At the same time, a second, mechanically coupled movable spindle unit is synchronously guided, extending the third profile column. This creates a multi-stage telescopicmovement.

Technical Functions:

Load capacity: up to 130 kg

Speed: up to 170 mm/s

Maximum stability: minimal deflection at maximum height under lateral load

UR Software: Fully compatible with UR thanks to a dedicated software application. Download here: Software Downloads

Plug & Play Integration:  Automatic detection by the robot controller enables seamless operation via a single interface.

Very high positioning and repeat accuracy

Duty cycle: 40% at maximum load and speed (higher duty cycle possible at lower values)

Safety features: safe shutdown with redundant wiring

PHOENIX Robotics – The lifting column for smart cobot applications

Extending Palletizing Applications Through Additional Reach

Many palletizing applications are limited not by robot performance, but by reach.

To demonstrate how additional vertical motion can expand the capabilities of modern palletizing solutions, CMCO and our partner Rocketfarm combined the PHOENIX Robotics Lifting Column with the Pally palletizing software in a demonstration setup.

In this scenario, a collaborative robot handles the palletizing process while the PHOENIX Robotics Lifting Column provides the additional vertical reach required to access higher pallet layers and larger working areas. Together with Pally, the solution remains simple to deploy while offering greater flexibility for future automation requirements.

The result is a practical example of how manufacturers and system integrators can extend palletizing applications without necessarily moving to a larger robot platform.

Watch the video below to see the solution in action.
