Get part

The easiest way to perform a production cycle is to simply use the command get_part (Fig. 195).

Note

This simple scenario does not optimize the cycle time but the integration is straightforward.

Fig. 195 Production scenario with get_part

  1. [Move robot out of field of view]: Before calling the get_part command, you have to ensure that nothing obstructs the camera view.

  2. [get_part]: Call the get_part command. It may take a picture. The command will send you the coordinates of a part or return an error if no part is available.

  3. [Pick & place part]: Pick and place the part.

  4. Start again from step 2. If error 504 is returned, add more parts to the picking area and start over from step 1 or stop the production with stop production.
