Deposit Tabs

Rotation Z, X and R: At these fields, part rotation angles can be set. The Z, X and R rotation is with respect to machine coordinates. The rotation order must be set in sequence: Z → X → R.

Pitch, Roll and Yaw: The Pitch, Roll and Yaw can be edited using the and controls. These rotations are with respect to tip coordinate system. When these are edited, the part rotation angle (Z, X and R) values will be updated accordingly.

Reset: This button resets the part rotation angles to default values.

Delta Shift: This option is used to shift each successive part in the deposit relative to the part underneath. This setting is available only when the Simple Grid or Conveyor pattern is selected for the deposit operation.

Height: This parameter controls the height above the stack from which the part is released (the part falls by this distance when coming to rest on the stack).

Simulate: The sequence or order in which each part is placed onto the pallet can be seen by using the Simulate option. The number of layers and grid utilized for the deposit determines what quantity is simulated. The part deposit simulation can be viewed by moving the simulate slider back and forth.

Grid: These settings are used to set up the number of columns and rows in the deposit.

Layers: This setting specifies how many parts are stacked on top of each other in each pile.

Gap (Z, X): These settings are used to specify the gap between successive columns or successive rows. If you set this to 0, the rows or columns are exactly touching each other.

Stack shift: These settings are used to displace the complete stack of all the parts away from the center of the pallet.

Simulate: This option allows you to simulate the deposit sequence to visualize the order in which parts are placed on the pallet.

Stack: This setting has two options: By Layer or By Pile. In this example here, stacking By Layer would build up both the adjacent piles in unison

Start corner and Path: These settings are used when there are multiple rows or columns, and decide which corner the stacking starts from, and whether the stacking then proceeds row-by-row, or column-by-column. This can be useful especially with an off-center gripper, since a different starting corner may cause a collision between the gripper and the previous part that was already deposited.

Simulate: Both the number spinner and the slider can be used to scrub through the deposits to see the order in which they happen on the pallet.
