6. Sequence
A sequence contains the different types of vibrations in order to feed, distribute, flip and orient
the components optimally on the picking surface. The sequence may vary depending on the
number of parts and their location on the platform in order to obtain optimal behaviour of
parts. This is the reason why the system may need data from the vision system such as the
number of parts on the platform (for feeding new parts onto the platform), their location (for
centring) and well-adjusted parameters of the vibration sets.
There are 26 sequences available and each of them is composed of up to seven actions. The
26 vibration sets are composed of the combination of the 26 platform vibrations and the 26
hopper vibrations/output activations. Any of the 26 sequences can be executed in
combination with any of the 26 vibration sets. This is useful in the case of different types of
parts (i.e. vibration sets) combined with various scenarios (i.e. sequences).
Please refer to the programming guide for more information on how to execute a sequence
using a certain vibration set.
Table 6-1 below gives the configuration options available to adjust a sequence. These
options are described in detail in the next section.
