Setting the Presented Bucket
About Bucket
Positions
You can set bucket 1 or bucket 2 to be presented when the VSpin door
opens.
This bucket position is an example of a teachpoint. For this reason, the
process of setting a bucket position is called teaching.
For more information about teachpoints, see “About Teachpoints” on
page 13.
Checking the Bucket
Alignment
Before you can set the bucket to present to the door, the bucket edge
must be aligned parallel to the open door edge so that a robot will
accurately place a plate on the bucket.
Accurate bucket alignment is also necessary to allow the rotor to lock
properly.
Check the bucket alignment before you proceed.
If the bucket is not aligned correctly, see “Aligning the Buckets” on
page 40.
Selecting the Bucket
to Present to the
Door
To select the bucket that is presented to the door:
1. Click the
Control tab.
The
Control page opens.
2. Choose the bucket to present to the door.
For example, if you choose bucket 1:
a. Click the
Bucket 1 radio button in the Bucket to Present group
box.
b. Click
Go to bucket in the Execute group box.
The door opens with bucket 1 presented.
If the bucket 1 is already presented to the door, then no change
occurs.
