When designing a robot stand—whether mobile or anchored—it’s crucial to ensure that it can withstand the loads exerted by the robot it supports.
Two key values to consider are:
- Vertical Force: The downward load the robot applies to the stand.
- Tilting Moment: The force that causes the stand to tip due to the robot’s movement.
As someone who works with these parameters daily, I found that obtaining this information for Universal Robots (UR) isn’t as simple as a quick Google search.
Fortunately, UR provides these details in their User Manuals, specifically under the “Dimensioning the Stand” section. If you’re designing a stand for a UR robot, this is the go-to resource to ensure stability and safety.
