How I Perform a Quick Reach Study

Nov 18, 2022

Adam Willea

Senior District Sales Manager

Adam showcases a practical application of ROBOGUIDE for a quick reach study in a palletizing scenario using the FANUC M-20iD/35 robot. He emphasizes the critical balance of selecting the right robot size, avoiding unnecessary overspending. Through iterative adjustments within ROBOGUIDE, Adam demonstrates how strategic layout modifications, like raising the robot on a riser, and tooling adjustments, such as adding a 30-degree wedge to the gripper, effectively resolve reach and singularity issues. This visual and interactive approach confirms the robot's capability to palletize a 48-inch pallet, illustrating how an 18-minute session in ROBOGUIDE can potentially save $10,000 by optimizing the robot's configuration instead of opting for a more expensive model.
