Step 13.6: Move Z-axis up
Move the Z-axis upward, so that the needles are above the box with samples. This will make sure the belt can
move, without the box crashing into the needles.
Step 13.7: Determine belt position for each row
Repeat Steps 13.4-13.6 to teach every row and add all belt positions to the Cognex job. When finished
teaching all columns, continue to Step 13.8.
Step 13.8: Move Z-axis up
Move the Z-axis upward to position 290 mm (maximum position), so that the needles are above the box with
samples. The box with samples is now able to move out.
Step 13.9: Move box out
If the Z-axis is positioned at its maximum position, start the "move box out" routine,
to move the box out of the system.
Step 13.10: Verify coordinates
The list of pierce positions uses combined XY coordinates, separated by a "|". The coordinates list that will
be retrieved from the camera are located in cell "A77"-"A(77 + (ExpectedSamples-1))", where the expected
samples will be retrieved from cell "R0".
After filling in both X and Y coordinates for piercing, a combined coordinate list is automatically generated in
the cells "A77"-"A(77 + (ExpectedSamples-1))". These cells will be read by Xperimate.
The pictures below show an example layout of a PBF200 4x6 box and it´s coordinates, together with the
corresponding fixed coordinates in the Cognex job. The coordinate in cell "A77" (20|29) corresponds with the
1st position in the box (X1, Y1). The last coordinate of the box (position 24) is located in cell "A100" (312|203)
in the example below.
