Defining a Pallet Layout Defining a Pallet Layout When defining a pallet layout, you are teaching points for the pallet, such as: the pallet origin (A), a point along the pallet X-axis (B), and a point along the pallet Y-axis (C). See the following figure for an example. NOTE: The points labeled in the figures are only for example. You could define the pallet using any corner part as the origin, and using any row or column orientation. That is, the pallet rows do not need to be parallel to the robot World axes as shown in the example. Defining a Pallet Layout For example, assuming a 40 mm part spacing, the pallet in the previous figure would be defined as follows:
In addition to the above, there are other parameters to define, such as: ACE User's Guide, 3.6.x 18316-000 Rev A Page 68 Location Components X Y Z y p r A Pallet origin 220.0 220.0 54.0 0.0 180.0 0.0 B Position along the X-axis 300.0 220.0 54.0 0.0 180.0 0.0 C Position along the Y-axis 220.0 300.0 54.0 0.0 180.0 0.0
