Palletizing multiple parts
A pallet is a rectangular arrangement of identical parts organized into
a consistent matrix of columns and rows. The X and Y offsets between
parts in the matrix must be the same for all parts.
Once a part program is created and tested for a single part, it can be
run on each of the identical parts contained in a pallet. The IK 5000 will
begin measuring parts at the lower-left corner of the pallet, and will
proceed from left to right and from bottom to top.
To specify the fixturing mode:
 Double click Program Properties in the Program template. The
Program Properties
dialog is displayed.
 Click the Palletize tab. The pallet setup parameters will be
displayed.

prompt the operator at the beginning of each run to specify the
location of parts contained by the current pallet. Check the Prompt
