TCP Speed Estimator — Delta Picker (1 kg)
Tool-point linear speed of a delta picker (1 kg) from joint angular speed and working radius (v = ω·r).
720°/s on the drive arms translates to 10 m/s TCP bursts in the sweet zone. At 3 picks per second the limiting factor becomes the vacuum cup's grip under 12 g of deceleration — compute speed here, then sanity-check the gripper tools 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 — Delta Picker (1 kg)
TCP Speed Estimator — Delta Picker (1 kg) computes the governing relationship v = ω·r (ω in rad/s) live as you type. 720°/s on the drive arms translates to 10 m/s TCP bursts in the sweet zone. At 3 picks per second the limiting factor becomes the vacuum cup's grip under 12 g of deceleration — compute speed here, then sanity-check the gripper tools 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 — Delta Picker (1 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 — Delta Picker (1 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)
- ✓720°/s on the drive arms translates to 10 m/s TCP bursts in the sweet zone.
- ✓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 — delta picker (1 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?+
720°/s on the drive arms translates to 10 m/s TCP bursts in the sweet zone. 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 delta picker (1 kg) from joint angular speed and working radius (v = ω·r). A free industrial robot kinematics & cell design tool. At 3 picks per second the limiting factor becomes the vacuum cup's grip under 12 g of deceleration — compute speed here, then sanity-check the gripper tools in this category. 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.
