Sequence
1. When the start key is pressed and a workpiece is placed onto the beginning of the conveyor, the
conveyor belt is started in order to advance the workpiece to the stopper.
2. After the workpiece has reached the stopper, a box is prepared for loading.
3. When the box is ready, the workpiece is gripped by the 2-axis handling module and transported to the
packaging module.
4. After the box has been loaded, it's closed and returned to the conveyor module.
5. The conveyor module transports the box to the end of the conveyor belt or to a downstream station.
