The scenario of the destruction of the pedestal would result in the robotic arm permanently stopping its operation for safety reasons until it is repaired. Collecting and analyzing necessary data can anticipate and prevent such negative or unwanted situations. This paper presents measurements taken during operation on a six-axis and 3,124mm reach robotic arm using the ADXL335 three-axis accelerometer sensor. The programmable microcontroller Arduino Mega 2560 was used to connect the accelerometer and record the data to the computer. The experimental results showed very small rates of dynamic acceleration resulting from vibration during the momentary speed increases of the robotic arm in five different cycles and have no future consequences for robot pedestal and facility safety.
