Hello!

Cycle time, payload capacity, maximum speed, repeatability, etc.

Is there information somewhere that clearly defines these terms,
and gives standardized (or suggested) procedures to determine them
for an industrial robot?

Or are we left to sift through glossy brochures and compare confusing
tables in order to draw a comparison between disimilar devices? :-)

Any suggestions?  Sources?  

Thanks!

Roger Hertz
