NOTE: Check this verification regularly to ensure the robot is correctly verifying the part/sprue removal. The gripper may need reset if the sprue diameter changes (due to mold changes). If the gripper crushes the sprue, a grip regulator can be added to decrease the pressure used to grip the sprue.
