As you make these changes, the software will compute a routing path for the gripper to go around the part and pick it up from the other side. All subsequent bends will also have their collision status updated immediately so you can see whether the new regrip position you have chosen is acceptable.

Swivel Neck – Used to rotate the Jaw Neck with 180° rotation.

Slide Gripper – Used to slide the position of the Gripper
