TCP Speed Estimator — Cartesian Gantry (50 kg)
Tool-point linear speed of a cartesian gantry (50 kg) from joint angular speed and working radius (v = ω·r).
Linear axes quote m/s directly — 2 m/s rapids with 0.5 g acceleration are routine. The interesting output is settle: a long bridge rings, so the last 10 mm cost what the first 1,000 did. Budget move time with the trapezoidal tool in this category.
Formula
Note: Planning-level engineering estimate — final robot selection, guarding layout and risk assessment must follow the integrator's calculations and a documented ISO 12100/10218 risk assessment.

About TCP Speed Estimator — Cartesian Gantry (50 kg)
TCP Speed Estimator — Cartesian Gantry (50 kg) computes the governing relationship v = ω·r (ω in rad/s) live as you type. Linear axes quote m/s directly — 2 m/s rapids with 0.5 g acceleration are routine. The interesting output is settle: a long bridge rings, so the last 10 mm cost what the first 1,000 did. Budget move time with the trapezoidal tool in this category. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use TCP Speed Estimator — Cartesian Gantry (50 kg)
- 1Enter your values — Joint speed, Working radius, Path derating (sensible defaults are pre-filled).
- 2Read the live results: TCP speed (ceiling), Realistic path speed, Tip speed.
- 3Check the "with your numbers" line to see v = ω·r (ω in rad/s) substituted step by step.
- 4Adjust inputs until the scenario matches yours, then copy or share the result.
Why use TCP Speed Estimator — Cartesian Gantry (50 kg)?
- ✓Instant, free and private — every calculation runs client-side in your browser; nothing is uploaded
- ✓Built on the stated formula v = ω·r (ω in rad/s) with authoritative sources cited on the page (Siciliano & Khatib (eds.), Springer Handbook of Robotics, 2nd ed.; ISO 9283 — Manipulating industrial robots: performance criteria)
- ✓Linear axes quote m/s directly — 2 m/s rapids with 0.5 g acceleration are routine.
- ✓SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts your inputs in place, so you can work in the units your drawings use
Frequently asked questions
What formula does the tcp speed estimator — cartesian gantry (50 kg) use?+
It evaluates v = ω·r (ω in rad/s), exactly as published. Sources: Siciliano & Khatib (eds.), Springer Handbook of Robotics, 2nd ed.; ISO 9283 — Manipulating industrial robots: performance criteria. The substituted worked example on the page lets you verify every step against the textbook.
How should I read the result — and how far can I trust it?+
Linear axes quote m/s directly — 2 m/s rapids with 0.5 g acceleration are routine. Planning-level engineering estimate — final robot selection, guarding layout and risk assessment must follow the integrator's calculations and a documented ISO 12100/10218 risk assessment.
When is this calculator the right tool for the job?+
Tool-point linear speed of a cartesian gantry (50 kg) from joint angular speed and working radius (v = ω·r). A free industrial robot kinematics & cell design tool. The interesting output is settle: a long bridge rings, so the last 10 mm cost what the first 1,000 did. For neighbouring scenarios, the related tools below cover the same engine with different presets.
Does it support both metric and imperial units?+
Yes — the SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts the values already in the fields, preserving the physical quantity, so you can flip mid-calculation without re-entering anything.
