UR Control Box Generations
CB2
Early control boxes on pre-2015 arms — functional but out of mainstream support; best for spares-tolerant buyers.
CB3
The used-market standard for UR3/UR5/UR10 — PolyScope 3.x, huge installed base, and wide URCap compatibility.
e-Series Control Box
Ships with UR3e/UR5e/UR10e/UR16e — built-in force/torque sensing, PolyScope 5.x, and current URCap ecosystem.

What to Check When Buying a Used UR Cobot
- Check the joint revision history — replaced joints should be documented and calibrated
- Confirm the PolyScope software version supports the URCaps (grippers, vision) you plan to use
- Collaborative operation still requires a risk assessment — payload and speed limits depend on your application
- Verify the tablet pendant is included and its touchscreen is responsive; replacements are costly
Universal Robots — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying used UR cobots
How much does a used Universal Robot cost?
Used CB3-era UR5s typically run $12,000–$18,000 and UR10s $15,000–$25,000. e-Series units command a premium over CB3. New list prices are roughly double, which is why clean used cobots move quickly.
Are used cobots safe to run without fencing?
UR arms are force-limited and designed for collaborative use, but fenceless operation always depends on a risk assessment of your specific application, tooling, and part — sharp or heavy payloads may still require guarding.
CB3 or e-Series — which should I buy used?
CB3 units offer the best value and a mature ecosystem. Choose e-Series if you need built-in force sensing, current URCaps, or want to match new units you're buying alongside.
Can you source a specific UR model?
Yes. UR3 through UR16e units come through regularly from plant consolidations — tell us the model and generation you need and we'll quote availability.
