Part & tooling
Part dimensions, material, weight, gripping surfaces and the estimated weight of the complete end tooling.
SELECTION GUIDE
Choose around the task.
Start with the process, then compare the robot family, working envelope and equipment interfaces. This guide supports the first discussion rather than a final engineering selection.

Catalog values are model-specific. Include the workpiece and tooling in the load calculation; confirm reach, cycle, installation and interfaces for the intended application.
02 / KEY INPUTS
Three questions before a quotation.
Machine & space
Machine model, installation position, access clearances, available height and the proposed pick-and-place positions.
Cycle & interfaces
Required sequence, target cycle, upstream and downstream signals, and any inspection or operator interaction.
03 / FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Check the assumptions.
Does the payload include the gripper?+
Include the workpiece and all end tooling in the load assessment. The center of gravity and the intended motion also need to be reviewed with the selected model.
Is the maximum reach enough to choose a robot?+
Also check the orientation at each position, approach clearance, joint limits and the surrounding equipment. Maximum reach alone does not describe the complete usable workspace.
Can catalog cycle times be used directly?+
Cycle performance depends on the model, travel, load, tooling and machine sequence. Confirm the complete operating conditions before agreeing on an acceptance target.
What should a layout drawing include?+
Show the machine outline, pick and place positions, floor and height constraints, operator access, utilities and the retained equipment.
Start with a clear project brief.
Share your application and drawings so the next discussion can focus on equipment, scope and interfaces.
