SkyeFire,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my fairly broad question.
Correct, that is what I meant by active.
The goal of my question was to understand the process & considerations needed for a sound design in seismic areas.
Aside from needing a Civil Engineer to design the footing & anchoring to ensure the floor bits are good, how would one go about ensuring the robot or (more likely) the EOAT does not snap off and go flying through the air?
Our application (palletizing) is not so demanding for high precision such that I would guess any minor tremors would be unlikely to impact production.
As far as electrical goes, do OEM's typically offer seismically ready control options?
thanks again
