How to Reduce Robot Duty

Feb 02, 2024

Engineer - General Industries, Logistics and Warehousing

The video discusses the concept of robot duty as the amount of input into the system over time, resulting in movement and heat. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on each axis' duty and using a motion profiler to determine estimated duty numbers for the robot to verify the robot is not being over utilized. The video highlights the importance of verifying the robot’s duty to ensure the robot will last. Additionally, it highlights the impact of programmatic changes, such as reducing speed or torque spikes, payload changes, or cell design on duty values. Overall, the video provides insights into reducing robot duty through various adjustments and changes.
