Hi
I’m looking at a job loading groups of box’s onto a pallet replacing the current robot cell
The box’s come down the infeed conveyor width was on and are turned if required to suit the pattern required, the current gripper can pick up groups off boxs either lenght or width was,
how does pickmaster tell the PLC how many boxs and if they need turning for each pattern
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave,
PickMaster will request a specific format, i.e a 2 dimensional group of products
of a certain type that can be defined/created, to be supplied by the PLC on the infeeder. It uses the two GO signals, e.g. pmInfeeder1_goProdSel and pmInfeeder1_goFormSel for this purpose.
The number of boxes and how they shall be grouped can be setup for each format.
The Pick location of the group on the infeeder can be setup in a Format Operation Set created for the infeeder with this format.
best regards,
Anders
