6.6.2 Loading inconveyor
The conveyor can be loaded during manual or automatic operation.
Parts are placed on the conveyors loading area for processing with a distance that
allows sufficient clearance for the grippers claw.
If the machine is in manual mode and the desired number of parts is loaded, the
operator can run the belt forward using the manual mode button until the belt can
be filled with further parts. Otherwise, the belt runs automatically until the first parts
reach the cameras field of view.
During manual operation the conveyor can be run forward until the sensor at the
cameras field of view is affected.

WARNING
If you have stopped the robot in the middle of a started gripping manoeuvre,
then run the belt manually, and then allowed the robot to continue the grip
manoeuvre, there is a large risk of a collision.
