Teaching the Bucket
Position
After you have aligned the bucket to the door, you need to save this
alignment in the profile you are using. This is referred to as teaching the
bucket position, and is required to accurately position the bucket so that
a robot gripper can place plates onto it.
At this point you have two options. You can align the buckets visually or
mechanically.
Visual Alignment
To visually align and teach the bucket position:
1. Unlock and open the door.
See “Unlocking and Opening the Door Manually” on page 69.
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! If the door lock is extended when
the bucket is improperly aligned, turning the rotor manually
could cause the rotor or the bucket to collide with the bucket
lock and damage the bucket, rotor or bucket lock.
2. Disconnect the air supply.
See “Disconnecting the Air Supply” on page 67.
If you do not disconnect the air supply or turn off the air source, the
door closes when the rotor is turned.
3. Manually rotate the rotor and visually align the bucket with the door.
The following illustration shows a misaligned bucket.
