There’s no better way to expand the work envelope of a 6-axis robot than implementing a Robot Transport Unit (RTU) that provides a seventh axis to optimize production. When selecting the best RTU for your automation cell, you will need to consider a long list of factors. This paper will present some of the factors to remember when choosing an RTU, helping you implement an optimal system and get it up and running fast.
