Using a robot to bundle steel tubing and was wondering if once I have the tube in the programmed position, I could move slowly against the cradle or the tube place before until there’s resistance to movement before releasing it? that way my bundle is a little tighter? is there a junction for that?

Try the SoftMove option. It will allow you to push against without tripping Motion Supervision. It is an option you need to purchase.
