This part is also quite similar to what you would do with a single part so we’ll highlight only the differences here. For a detailed explanation, see 7. Asycube Configuration.

7.1 Platform Tuning

If the concept of platform vibration tuning does not change fundamentally, there are a few differences to be aware of. First off, the Smart Centering vibration is not available as the Asycubes are not physically capable of centering parts in each side independently. Lastly, it may be difficult to tune the vibrations optimally for multiple parts at the same time. It implies using multi-feeding has a performance limit when compared to having a single part on the Asycube.

7.2 Hopper Tuning

Since you are using the multi-feeding feature, you need to tune the vibrations for all your hoppers instead of just one. The tuning process stays the same, but you will now have the ability to select and tune the hopper for each part using the corresponding tab at the top of this page.

Note

Once you assign a hopper configuration to a part, it cannot be assigned to another. To allow swapping configurations, an empty configuration is available. You cannot proceed to the next step if you have a hopper with the empty configuration assigned to it.

Tip

Make sure to create all the hopper configurations needed (one per part) before creating the recipe. Otherwise, you will not be able to finish the recipe and will have to exit the recipe wizard to add those configurations.
