  "summary": "The UR5e is a six-axis collaborative arm in Universal Robots' e-Series, rated for a 5 kg payload and 850 mm reach with a built-in force/torque sensor at the wrist. It is programmed from a touchscreen teach pendant (PolyScope) and also exposes ROS/ROS2 and fieldbus interfaces, and it can be mounted in any orientation. The e-Series shares one control box and pendant across sizes from the UR3e to the UR16e.",

Mounting 'Any orientation' mapped to floor/table/wall/ceiling. No UR list price found on universal-robots.com. The Unchained Robotics page at the UR5e URL lists EUR 30,619 excl. VAT but its title/specs describe a UR7e (7.5 kg), so it was NOT recorded as a UR5e offer. Reseller page titles seen in search (Clearpath 'UR7e', UR 'UR12e' comparison) suggest the e-Series now also includes UR7e and UR12e — not verified. UR series comparison page returned a client error.",
