Turntable

***

This is an element that only works with turnable dynamics. It causes an active turn of the dynamics which stand on it. The turn speed is specified by the drive.

The displayed speed in mm/s means the speed for dynamics which are on the outer periphery of the turntable.

If you do not deposit the dynamics onto the turntable with a hook or an automatic hook, you must use a vertically orientated linear mover to lift the turntable from below through the conveyor, on which the dynamic is standing. So you can make use of the fact that the elements in TrySim can go through each other.

The turntable itself cannot be turned.

The turntable is displayed as an octagon but internally it is cuboid-shaped like all the other elements. So it will also move dynamics which are in the cut off and not visible edges.

The sample ‘turns’ demonstrates the use of this element.

Other possibilities to turn dynamics result from the use of a joint in connection with a hook, a turnable board or a turnable conveyor.
