What tests does an industrial robot actually need? This 3-minute breakdown covers six-axis motion control, encoder feedback, repeat positioning accuracy, absolute positioning accuracy, vision guidance, load and overload testing, speed testing, interlock testing, and durability testing. Understand why the controller and motion algorithms matter as much as the mechanical body.
