Cycle Time Calculation Software

The cycle time of a single axis robot can be calculated from velocity, acceleration, deceleration, distance, and load weight.

Cycle time calculators are available to download and are divided into 10 types of files for different actuator types.

Please select the file that corresponds to the actuator you are using.
