1. Clear part from the conveyor.

2. If necessary, adjust the gripper/pusher tower to align the gripper/pusher finger with part

edge across width.

3. Adjust the gripper opening.

a. Determine the opening gap.

 Opening Gap = (4 X carrier warping tolerance) + Carrier edge thickness.

For example: if the carrier warping tolerance is 0.5mm, and the carrier edge

thickness is 0.5mm, the Opening Gap is (4 X 0.5mm) + 0.5mm = 2.5mm.
