A Stopping Time and Stopping Distance
The information about stopping times and distances is available for both Stop Catagory
0 and Stop Category
1
1. This appendix includes the information regarding Stop
Category 0. Information on Stop Category 1 is available on http://universal-robots.
com/support/.
A.1 Stop Category 0 stopping distances and times
The table below includes the stopping distances and times measured when a Stop
Category 0 is triggered. These measurements correspond to the following configu-
ration of the robot:
• Extension: 100% (the robot arm is fully extended horizontally).
• Speed: 100% (the general speed of the robot is set to 100% and the movement
is performed at a joint speed of 183
◦
/s).
• Payload: maximum payload handled by the robot attached to the TCP (5 kg).
The test on the Joint 0 was carried out by performing a horizontal movement, i.e.
the axis of rotation was perpendicular to the ground. During the tests for Joint 1
and 2 the robot followed a vertical trajectory, i.e. the axes of rotation were parallel to
the ground, and the stop was performed while the robot was moving downwards.
Stopping Distance (rad) Stopping time (ms)
Joint 0 (BASE) 0.31 244
Joint 1 (SHOULDER) 0.70 530
Joint 2 (ELBOW) 0.22 164
