What a fixed-base X2 Basic can actually reach on a bench

A fixed-base humanoid at a bench looks like a simple placement question, and the X2 Basic's own numbers turn it into an arithmetic one.

Arm reach sets the actual working envelope, and 558 mm is the number that decides the layout, not the robot's overall footprint.

Everything the X2 Basic is meant to pick, place or operate on a bench has to sit inside that reach from wherever the base is bolted down, measured without the end effector attached. A part or a fixture placed even slightly outside that radius is unreachable regardless of how the rest of the cell is designed, which makes reach the first constraint to draw on a layout, before power, before cycle time, before anything else.

Peak joint torque of 120 Nm bounds what the arm can do once it reaches the part, not just whether it can get there.

A taught pick-and-place routine within that torque budget runs reliably and repeatably; a task that needs more force at the joint, such as inserting a tight-fitting part or applying sustained pressure, needs checking against that figure specifically rather than assumed from the platform's general capability.

Battery and charging numbers decide how the cell is scheduled, not just how long it runs.

Approximately 500 Wh of capacity and a charging time of up to 1.5 hours describe a platform meant to work a shift and recharge between them, rather than one built to run shift after shift with no break in the schedule. Planning a cell around the X2 Basic means planning that break in, the same way a layout plans around arm reach.

None of these three figures is optional context for a bench cell design; each one draws a hard line the layout has to respect. Reach decides what can be placed where, torque decides what the arm can do once it gets there, and the battery figures decide when the cell needs to pause. Get the layout right against all three and the platform does exactly what a fixed-base bench cell needs.
