Revisiting UR's September 2025 launch picture, attached. I'm using it as a talking point, not assessing that particular installation from a photograph.

When laying out a welding cell, do you reserve the fixture-removal route first or fit it around the robot afterwards? I'd rather lose a little reach than make every fixture change a dismantling job.

Removal route first, including whatever lifts it; the clear gap on a plan isn't enough if the lifting gear can't get there.

How often does it come out? Daily changeovers and annual maintenance deserve different compromises, reckon I'd price both layouts before giving up reach.

Weekly in the layout I'm thinking about. Worth making room.

And somewhere to put it once it's out
