Industrial robots play a pivotal role in modern manufacturing, but their effectiveness hinges on their defined reach or working envelope based on axis articulation and design geometry. Some applications require you to expand the reach of your robot to perform your process, enhance your system design, increase speed, or increase robot utilization. This seminar explores various strategies for expanding robot reach using Rail Transfer Units (RTUs, also referred to as tracks) and gantries, addressing critical aspects such as mechanisms and area of reach, system design considerations, installation requirements, and controls, and will present advantages and disadvantages of each solution.
