How to Select Robot Payload and Reach: A Simple Guide

Choosing the wrong size is one of the most common and expensive robot mistakes.

Payload

Payload includes the gripper or tool plus the part. Always check the load chart, since the rated payload applies close to the wrist centre. Longer tools or off-centre loads reduce usable capacity.

Reach

Draw the robot's work envelope over your layout and confirm it reaches all points with margin. Remember that welding torches and dress packs shorten usable reach.

Axes and mounting

  • 6-axis for flexible orientations
  • 4-axis for palletizing
  • SCARA for planar assembly
  • Floor, wall, ceiling or track mounting to increase reach

Speed and accuracy

Repeatability matters for assembly, while path accuracy matters for welding and dispensing. Simulation confirms cycle time before purchase.
