Yeah I was watching an automation engineer working on a cell that moves sheets of glass a while ago. He was done and I was bored so I watching him wrap things up and he offered to show me how fast they can move. He turned the speed from its production value to like 50% of its max acceleration and holy fuck those things can move. I was blown away by how fast it was and not being anywhere near the firmware max speeds.

If you want to see some scary shit, tell me I have a fully autonomous zone fully enclosed in three feet of concrete and I’m going to find out exactly how fast these ABB IRB 4400’s can move before they rip out their mounting bolts.
