During the placement part of the cycle, the Gripper Fingers will open to drop the die
into the Waffle Pack cavity. The placement height is not critical, for example, successful
trials have been made dropping the die from the full Arm Traverse Height. Although this
is the fastest mode of operation, it is not recommended. In general, lowering the
Gripper Fingers to about 0.010 in. from the top surface of the Waffle Pack works best.
Very little time is needed for the Gripper Fingers to open. If necessary, using Single Step
Mode adjust the delay by pressing the + / - keys when WAIT 0.100 SEC FOR GRIPPERS
TO OPEN shows in display.
At the end of the cycle, the arm will return to the wait position.
