GRIPPING
GRIP RETRACT: The “Grip Retract” parameter
adjusts the “retract” distance of the grippers after
they have gripped the product. (Illustration 67) This
lifts the product off the Loaf Gate prior to the
opening. This parameter is set in millimeters or
inches. Only set this high enough to lift the product
off the gate, without excess travel.
GRIPPER RETRACT POSITION: The “Gripper
Retract Position” controls starting position of the
Grippers for the start of each “grip
cycle.”(Illustration 68) This parameter is set in
millimeters or inches of “Gripper Retract” travel.
To set this parameter, measure the length of the
longest loaves of product and add 50 mm (2.0
inches) to that number. Enter that length in the
“Gripper Retract Position” parameter.
GRIPPER RETRACT SPEED: The “Gripper
Retract Speed” parameter controls the travel speed
of the Grippers during retract. (Illustration 69)
Under most circumstances, this should be set as
high as possible, without tangling the Gripper
hoses.
