Gripper Offset Table

NOTE: A gripper offset is not always needed to pick a part, so you may not need to build a
Gripper Offset Table for your application.

The Gripper Offset Table:

l

Tells the robot where, in relation to the origin of a part, it must grip the part.

l

Describes a transform, expressed as: (x, y, z, yaw, pitch, roll).

NOTE: A part can have more than one Gripper Offset (if it can be picked at more
than one spot).

l

Contains offset data used by V+ or MicroV+.

l

Is assigned to a robot. No robot can have more than one table.

These instructions also apply in Emulation Mode.

To open the Gripper Offset Table, right-click in the Tree structure, then select:

New > Vision > AdeptSight > Gripper Offset Table

The Gripper Offset Table Initial Screen
