This document shows how to create a simple pick and place routine. The Robot picks up a part from an infeed conveyor and stacks three parts on an outfeed conveyor.

Attach the gripper to the robot and create programs to open and close the gripper

grip_on - program to switch the gripper vacuum on

grip_off - program to switch the gripper vacuum off
