Part pickup

The BendMaster has two different mechanisms for part pickup and gripper usage, depending on whether we are processing small parts or large parts. In general, small parts (less than about 200 x 300 mm in size) are processed using a mechanical (jaw-type) gripper, and are picked up from a blank dispenser. Larger parts are processed using vacuum suction or magnetic grippers and are picked up from pallets.

Flux can automatically figure out the best processing mode for a part, depending on the gripper inventory you have, and the way you edit the part pickup after that depends on which type of handling is selected.
