When launching a new collaborative robot project, In-Position Technologies engineers take a consultative approach. First, they assess the application’s requirements to determine the best robot for the job. Then, they perform all necessary calculations to ensure the system delivers reliable performance within customer-defined specifications—without introducing unnecessary cost.

Their evaluations include:
• Required Throughput
• Machine Cycle Time Expectations
• Payload and Reach Requirements
• Safety Guarding and Compliance

When customers order the UR18 as part of a complete automation package, IP Tech’s engineers ensure the solution is fully optimized by:
• Including all essential components and accessories for a turnkey deployment
• Verifying that each element works seamlessly together as a cohesive system
• Confirming that the configuration meets project specifications and goals
