Welcome to our payload calculator!

Payload Calculator: Making sure that your EOAT is built within the limits of your robot just got a whole lot easier. Select your robot – put in your EOAT parameters – press enter and find out whether each axis is below, at, or over your robot’s capabilities.

Our Payload Calculator is a FREE online payload calculation tool, that anticipates the moments and the inertia that your designed end of arm tooling will apply to your robot. The estimate is based on the mass, inertia, and distance of the tooling’s center of gravity from the endplate of the selected robot. Before you start using this tool, make sure to have in hand the following information on your end of arm tooling:

1. The distance in X, Y, and Z from the center of gravity and the flange of the robot
2. The inertia around the X, Y, and Z axis of your end of arm tooling.

Enjoy! Don’t forget to take a look at our Collaborative Cells and at our Modular Cells.
