Assigning Grippers

Hello,
I need some help. In my layout i have a robot that has 4 different grippers. Based on the part is should pick the right gripper to grab the part. How can I achieve it?

Hello, do you want to do that using process modelling (easier) or robot programming?

  • With process modelling, you can for example organise your different product types in different flow groups and define in the corresponding transport links which tool is used :

  • With robot programming you would need to know which product is there and for example send a signal to start a different routine to pick up a gripper corresponding to the product/signal and then pick up the product…
    I’m not sure which component would be able to send a different signal based on the part. I would probably use a process node (from Process modelling) and with an “if” or “switch” loop, send a different signal based on the product type. → you would just use the process to send signals to the robot and then programm the robot…
