A cycle is the inter­val of time dur­ing which a repeat­ed process is per­formed. Decreased part cycle time is one of the advan­tages of robot automa­tion. Replac­ing man­u­al process­es with the effi­cien­cy of robots leads to increased pro­duc­tion and profits.

Part cycle time is influ­enced by sev­er­al vari­ables. These include the dis­tance a part must trav­el, com­plex­i­ty of the cycle, qual­i­ty of oth­er machin­ery involved, flex­i­bil­i­ty and fea­tures of the robot, and tool­ing choic­es. Cycle time can be sim­u­lat­ed with advanced 3D soft­ware or more accu­rate­ly deter­mined with a fea­si­bil­i­ty study.

Due to our expe­ri­ence, Robots​.com can esti­mate a part cycle time when giv­en specifics on the part and the cur­rent process. If you require an exact cycle time, con­tact our sales depart­ment at 877−762−6881 about per­form­ing a study of your part process.
