Running a Robot Cell Acceptance Test
Acceptance is a test, not a signature.
What the test should cover
| Area | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Function | Every operating mode and recovery routine |
| Cycle time | Measured over a sustained run |
| Quality | First pass yield at the agreed sample size |
| Safety | Stops, interlocks and guards verified and recorded |
| Documents | Programs, parameters, spares list and training |
| Training | Operators and maintenance staff competent to run it |
How to run it
- Agree the test plan and pass criteria before the equipment arrives.
- Record the data and keep signed copies.
- List every open defect with an owner and a date.
Acceptance criteria should be in the contract so both sides test against the same measures.
