g-levels on Robotic Arms

[Peru]

I'm in the process of doing vibration testing on some equipment that may go on a robotic arm. I would like to get an estimate on what g-levels the equipment may be subjected to...My equipment is 150 lbs not counting the robotic arm. It's been painfully difficult to get any information from robotic integrators on this. Cutting speeds would be no more than 250 mm/s but I would expect the arm to move faster than this when not cutting.

Thanks

Ask the manufacturer for the max positioning speeds of the arm,then ask him for his slow down points i.e. 1" ahead of final position, 1/2" ahead of final position etc.. With this, you should be able to get a handle on his de-aceleration rates.
