Buffer between Pick and Place [PickMaster 3]

PickMaster

I like to do like this:
Packaging machine and it’s feeding conveyor can’t stop.
IRB340 Picks and place normally. Then, in some reason there is no free place area for item.
I would like to place item to small buffer between pick and place area. Then when this happens again, we again put item to buffer.
When buffer is full, we just stop moving and just wait next free place for item.

Sometimes there comes nothing from pick conveyor, then we can go and pick from this small buffer.

I’ve try to do this. But because of PM timings, there comes some errors.
Can you give an example about Pick and Place routines how this should do correct way?

Pasi,

In the attached file is an example how you can set up a simple buffer with four positions in it. The position Available signal must be defined in the place workarea.
