How to customize the loading of an item?

Hi,

I am using a BasicTE (looking as a reach stacker) for picking up a container.

Is there a way for making the stacker stopping at the right position and not going into the container for the loading task (see pic1)? Is there a way to access and change the object's point on which the loading takes place (see pic2)? I would like it to happen where the gripper is.

Thanks!pic1.pngpic2.png

Yes you should use the OnBeginOffset, OnUpdateOffset andOnFinishOffset triggers to add, update and end kinematics of the BasicTE such that the gripper is moved over the item.

You'll need to find the gripper location for this and to position the item correctly. An easy way to do that is, with the item load in the BasicTE, move the item to the correct location and record that location as the gripper position.

Once you have something looking roughly working, post back with more questions if you need further clarification.
