When starting a collaborative robot project, In-Position Technologies engineers take a consultative approach. First, they review the application requirements and identify the right robot for the job.

Next, they perform the necessary calculations to confirm reliable system performance. This process helps meet customer specifications without adding unnecessary cost.

Their evaluations include:

• Required Throughput
• Machine Cycle Time Expectations
• Payload and Reach Requirements
• Safety Guarding and Compliance

When customers order the UR18g-950 as part of a complete automation package, IP Tech engineers optimize the entire solution.

This process includes:

• Including essential components and accessories for a complete deployment
• Verifying that each component works together as a cohesive system
• Confirming that the final configuration meets project specifications and goals
