6.5.4 Example: Double pick single place
Description of example
The robot shall pick up two items, one-by-one, on the infeeder conveyor, and then
place both items on the outfeed conveyor. This operation requires a picking tool
with two vacuum ejectors.
Implementation
As a starting point, create a simple working setup with one robot.
The RAPID program needs to be modified. To edit the RAPID program, go to the
Recipe Setting, select a robot and display the drop down menu, select the Rapid
