Configuring the machine set-up

At the start of enabling, the machine must be set up in the channel depending on its axes or kinematics. A distinction can be made between two variants when setting up the machine:

The first variant includes machines that can co-move the processing unit TCP parallel to the conveying direction. Applications such as “Laser machining on moving sheet” or “Pick & place” can be implemented on this type of machine.

The second variant includes machines with a static processing unit that cannot be moved by the machine axes parallel to the conveying direction. In this case, the workpieces are only moved through the machine, see “Machining without co-moving unit”.
