Motion Coordinator Technical Reference Manual
Programming Examples 9-7
Example Programs
A vacuum operated pick-up mechanism collects objects from a conveyor and fills
each of the boxes in turn.
Additional Information:
Whist the palette size is fixed at the maximum size of 1.2m square, the program
should be flexible enough to allow for a user-defined number of boxes on the pal-
lette. The grid could contain up to 10 divisions in each direction and they may be
combined in any ratio, i.e. 2x4, 6x3, 1x10, 9x4 etc.
The illustration below shows a sample palette with a 6x6 grid of boxes. The num-
bers/arrows show the order in which the boxes are filled. Note that we step
through the rows (Y axis) in turn, filling each box (move along X axis) before mov-
ing onto the next row.
