I'm pushing for Universal Robots UR5e to do fixture loading with a small plastic enclosure in a small owner-run workshop, starting with 221. I priced the arm and gripper. Fixtures and staff time? Much vaguer. My colleague's annoyed, fairly enough. I'd like a small pilot we can both judge.

Have you measured the whole manual job, preparation included? Timing just the transfer could hide the same missing labour again.

@EllaAllen0294 We watched a batch. Preparation took longer than transfer. My estimate had basically made that work disappear by wishing.
