How to Use This Calculator
- Enter robot reach (m) and required safety zone clearance (m) around the robot.
- Set the number of work stations, station width (m), and station depth (m).
- Enter required aisle width (m) for maintenance and operator access.
- Review total cell area (m²), cell dimensions, fence perimeter, and workspace utilization percentage.
- Use the layout output to verify the cell fits your available floor space before ordering fencing.
How the result changes with Robot Reach
| Robot Reach | Total Cell Area |
|---|---|
| 580 | 11.57 m² |
| 1,530 | 28.13 m² |
| 2,670 | 57.55 m² |
| 3,620 | 90 m² |
What each input means
