2.5.7. Hand open direction setting

 

The palletizing gripper is to be placed downward from above without the need to differentiate the direction as shown below. However, in some cases, the need to open the hand in specific direction (Figure 2.17) shall be considered. The hand open direction function is to designate the direction for a hand in which the hand open direction shall be considered.

After selecting each package, press the Shift + arrow keys of the teaching pendant to designate the hand open direction. In this case, the arrow means that the hand will be open in the arrow direction. Also, the designated data are to be used to calculate and save the rotational direction of the hand when a job program is created later.
