Defining a Pallet Layout l the access order (XYZ, XZY, etc.) l the number of parts on the X-axis l the part spacing on the X-axis l the number of parts on the Y-axis l the part spacing on the Y-axis l the number of parts on the Z-axis l the part spacing on the Z-axis NOTE: Make sure that you review the next section Why is Gripper Orientation Important? on page 70.
