Increase speed during pallet stack search [PickMaster 5]

:smile: Is there any way to increase the speed of the robot during pallet stack search.

We use PM 5.20 and we have set up a line with a palletstack. The robot picks one pallet for each work job, and we use the pallet search function in PM.During the first pallets the speed is no issue, but when theres only a few pallets left the search speed really is an issue. In Rapid it is easy just to read in the actuall position when the search sensor is activated and then calculate the new pick pos. Is there a possibilty also in PM to have this kind of movement.
The ideal funtion would be that the robot gets a signal when there is a new palletstack to be able to start the search from the high level. Then that the PM calculate every new stacksearch pos regarding to the search sensor.

Looking forward for some help.

Hi Per,
what frequency are you using for stack search ?
E.g. if you have a search frequency of 1 (= search on each layer)
the start height of each search movement will be adapted (reduced)
to the current height of the pallet stack. Only if you order a redo search
or the pallet stack is empty will cause a search from max height.
You can use the redo search as the signal to tell when there is a new stack.

Best regards,
Anders
