2.3.1 Maximum size of the parts
A fixed specification of the maximum part size can not be given. The maximum part
size depends on the optimum part number for the process.
This number of parts is to be determined empirically, depending on the orientation
behaviour and the accessible process.
The most stable process is generally achieved when the accessible surface is covered
with components up to a maximum of 2/3.
2.3.2 Maximum part weight
A fixed specification of the maximum part weight cannot be given. The limiting weight
depends on the component geometry and the material. If the components are too
heavy, they cannot be reoriented reliably for the process.
Components should always be tested in advance for suitability.
A non-binding reference to the part size and part weight:
