Robot Tool

For pick and place project types, you will be prompted to select a robot tool. A tool informs the system of the location of the end effector.

For a simple application that uses vacuum end effector and does not require rotation of a part for placement, you may not need to use a robot tool and can use Tool 0 (default).

For an application that uses an end effector that is not centered on the robot mounting flange and needs to rotate the part for pickup and / or for placement, you should define a robot tool. When you select a tool in the wizard, you can click on [New Tool...] to use the Tool Wizard.

You can also define the tool before using the project wizard by running the Tool Wizard from the Robot Manager Tool page.

For more details on tool settings, refer to the following manual:
