Two LAT-52 distance sensors are installed in a suction gripper in order to detect the distance to the top sheet metal part. With the detected distances of the sensors, the location of the gripper in relation to the plate and the approaching speed of the robot is controlled and the timing of the gripping process is thus optimized.
