I'm looking to pick parts from a mold as they eject and stack them in a box. The pattern in the mold is a symmetrical 4x4 with 5in centers. I would like to collapse the pattern to a 4x4 with 2.85in centers using some sort of linkage activated with air cylinder(s). Where is a good place to start?
 
You're proposing to fold the tree?
To do that, you need to put 'flats' in it, which will mess up the flow.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you want.

I would have thought it a trivial problem a non-programmable fixture for the folks who specialise in EOAT.
