Process Modelling + OLP - Unable to get the process restarted once the cycle is complete

Hey guys,

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to create a process layout with an idea to modify the pick up and place routine later on.
At the moment I am able to complete the cycle of picking up a bottle and filling it up and placing it in a box. However I am unable to get the robot to keep on repeating the cycle.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the file for reference

Warm Regards

Andy

Hello,

it seems to be working, but you have a Delay of 1000s in the second process, so it’s just waiting a very long time before repeating the cycle. You could either reduce this delay, or use a signal in the last process instead, to know when the cycle is finished and when to begin with the new one

Hey Tilma,

Thank you for the reply. So I actually did try what you suggested - It just comes to a halt. After the cycle is complete.

Anyway I could contact you over mail/ chat? I have been at this for last 15h , and I am mentally wrecked

The new file is also working for me. Do you have any of these checked? Maybe it is stopping because of a collision or a limit:

andy_23 · January 5, 2026, 1:38pm

Oh yeah? Working as in, it repeats the cycle?

I do have singularity checked in. Does that matter?

yes, it waits for the Delay in “Fill Station” to be over, then picks another bottle and repeat the whole cycle. → with the Delay of 1000s you have to wait a bit more than 16 minutes…

I just tried with the singularity checked, but it still worked. With which version are you working?

I am currently working with 4.10 , I have removed the delay and switched to signals

Hey Tilma,

I had a quick question around Robot programming combined with PM.

I am having a glitch with the pick

Pick from Top - Whenever I try to pick the bottle from the top - it does not lift all the components attached to it.
Also the Gripper Position - I want it to hold the bottle by the neck.
I tried manipulating the J Open and Close value for the gripper - but it does not work as it only takes either of one. i.e. If i hold the bottle from the side or the neck.

Any guidance on this would be really appreciated Thank you again
