GRIP TILE
The GRIP tile is used when it is desired to manually grasp an object without needing to move it
as with a normal PICK . For example: A grip may be used to hold an object in position while an
operator, or a welder, Works on the object.
If you would like OB7 to close the gripper, or activate a vacuum gripper, without performing a Pick
operation, you can insert a Grip tile into the job. The Grip tile tells OB7 to activate the
gripper, without automatically approaching and picking up the object. When using the Grip tile,
the gripper will activate at the current location of the robot without any additional movements or
options to pick up multiple objects (e.g. a stack or grid).
