Workspace and Operating Space
Description |
The workspace is the range of the fully extended robot arm, horizontally and vertically. The operating space is the location where the robot is expected to function. Disregard for the robot workspace and operating space can result in the damage to property. It is important to consider the cylindrical volume directly above and directly below the robot base when choosing location to mount the robot. Moving the tool close to the cylindrical volume should be avoided because it causes the joints to move fast even when the tool is moving slowly. This can cause the robot to work inefficiently and can make it difficult to conduct a risk assessment. Moving the tool close to the cylindrical volume can cause the joints to move too fast, leading to loss of functionality and damage to property.

The cylindrical volume is both directly above and directly below the robot base. The robot extends 1300 mm from the base joint.
