Multigripper with 8 heads

Robot Programming
1

I have a multi-gripper with eight individual grippers. The goal is to pick up eight items (identical) from a side tray and place them all at a different location simultaneously. I have the STEP file of the multigripper, but I’m not sure how to properly model or configure it in Visual Components.

My main questions are:

  1. Do I need to define a separate TCP (Tool Center Point) for each gripper, or is there a better way to handle this setup?
    I want the robot to move as a whole and pick/place all eight (identical) items at once.
  2. I also want the gripper to function as an actual gripper, not just as geometry.
    3.What should I configure under the Behavior, Tools, or Features tabs* to make the gripper behave correctly in the simulation (i.e., open/close or pick/place items)?

Thanks a lot !
