6.5.4 Example: Double pick single place

Description of example
The robot shall pick up two items, one-by-one, on the infeeder conveyor, and then
place both items on the outfeed conveyor. This operation requires a picking tool
with two vacuum ejectors.
Implementation
As a starting point, create a simple working setup with one robot.
The RAPID program needs to be modified. To edit the RAPID program, go to the
Recipe Setting, select a robot and display the drop down menu, select the Rapid
program and select Edit....
The PickPlaceSeq routine shall perform two Pick routine calls to handle the first
and the second pick. It will then perform one Place routine call to handle the
simultaneous placing of the picked up items. See the following example code.
For the Pick routine, see the following example code. Note the usage of PickAct2
and VacuumAct2 for the second pick.
