Repeated timing sum
Pick-and-place cycle
Inputs
User-entered travel time to the pick or place position.
User-entered return travel time for the same repeated cycle.
User-entered gripper or process dwell at pick.
User-entered gripper or process dwell at place.
User-entered transfer, sensing, or other time added to each cycle.
Declared repeated cycle count for the batch-time result.

Method
Formula, when it applies, and when it does not
Sum travel, dwell, and auxiliary times into a repeated pick-and-place cycle, throughput, and batch-duration screen.
tcycle = tout + tback + tpick + tplace + taux; throughput = 3600/tcycle; tbatch = Ntcycle
When
- Repeated identical cycles
- Times entered by user
- No path simulation
- No overlap or queuing
Don’t
- This is a repeated timing sum from user-entered travel, dwell, and auxiliary times. It does not simulate robot paths, acceleration, blending, queuing, overlap, controller behavior, reach, collision, faults, payload limits, uptime, safety, or throughput guarantees.
