7.2.4 Job configuration
The purpose of this workflow step is to configure a job for each part type to be located.
User level Maintenance or higher is required.
For each job configuration, a reference image is acquired and a reference part is
located. The job must be configured on an aligned work plane. A maximum of 320 jobs
can be configured.

7.2.4.1 Job configuration workflow
Overview of the job configuration alternatives
•
Stationary sensor, option 1: The pick pose of the part is defined relative to the
work plane alignment base and saved in the robot program. This is a relative pick
pose with both position and rotation on all axes. This option is recommended for
more complex or serial robot movements.
Note: Do not use the part reference point tool to adjust the pick pose, an incorrect
offset will be added to the absolute pick position from the tool.
•
Stationary sensor, option 2: The pick pose of the part is defined with a part refer‐
ence point tool in the PLOC2D UI for the current work plane. This is an absolute
pick position, with X and Y axis position and only Z axis rotation (the Z axis position
is defined by the work plane). This option is recommended for straight-forward
part picking with the robot.
•
Robot mounted sensor: The pick pose of the part is defined by a part reference
point robot command for the current work plane. The pick pose can be adjusted
with the part reference point tool.
