The main aim of the paper is to demonstrate the optimal cycle time taken by a 6 axis industrial robot, by following the shortest path.Planning for path is important because, it allows knowing about the path traversal of robot from starting point and reaching the end point with shortest possible time in 3D workspace.The approach of this work is based on the use of robomaster software, for solving the path planning problems for industrial robot arms, that are used in industries and for any dynamic environments.In this analysis, an attempt has been taken to plan the path followed by the robot, by considering different sort options with different starting points.The analysis of different paths with cycle time and path length are done and from that, one having the shortest cycle time and minimum path length is achieved, which can be considered for further machining works.
