Fig. 287 Starting up - Part Spreading

Before starting, make sure that the Asycube multi-feeding production plate is correctly mounted.

Then place a reasonable number of each part on their respective side evenly distributed on the production plate. A general rule to find the appropriate part number is to have 1/3 of each plate section covered by parts.

Spread the parts randomly but make sure to have all possible orientations of the parts represented:

  • Good orientation: The orientation of the part required for the robot pickup.

  • Bad orientation: All other orientations of the part that are not suitable for robot pick-up.

Tip

Leave some parts in contact (a group of 2 parts is sufficient). This will ensure that groups of parts are rejected during the candidate detection stage.
