How to Use This Calculator
- Enter pick approach distance (mm), place travel distance (mm), approach speed, and travel speed.
- Set grip time (sec) and release time (sec) for your end-of-arm tooling.
- Add any dwell or inspection time between pick and place operations.
- Review total cycle time (sec), cycles per minute, cycles per hour, and utilization percentage.
- Compare to your target cycle time to verify the robot meets production throughput requirements.
