OK, I'm 99% confident it could be as simple as: Grip/release part Two positions wrist rotation, 0 and 180 degrees Move in and out Move up and down Swivel base (probably 90 degrees)
Also with reference to mimicking the old tech, maybe: Grip/release part Pivot to fixture and back Move up and down 1/4" or so to load/unload nest - perhaps same motion with longer travel could also index the magazine carousel. Two positions wrist rotation, 0 and 180 degrees Or to AP's idea, some sort of "push through" from the carousel: Extend/retract arm (through the carousel) Raise and lower arm to load/unload part fixture nest Rotate the arm to index part Still probably need grip/release Hmm. More to chew on! Much appreciated!
