Work Envelope
The work envelope is the three-dimensional region of space that defines the
reaching boundaries for the robot arm. The work envelope of an articulated
robot is ideally a complete sphere having an inner radius equal to |L1- L2| and
outer radius equal to |L1+L2|. However, due to the range of motion
limitations on individual joints, the work envelope is not always a complete
sphere.
If the range-of-motion values for the
articulated robot are
Typically, the work envelope is
J1 = ± 170
J2 = 0...180
J3 = ± 60
L1 = 10
L2 = 12
