Conveyor

Dynamics can be transported by the conveyor. Like the linear mover they have a drive. When a dynamic is standing on the conveyor with all four corners, it will be moved according to the speed which has been selected for the drive. In case one or more corners are not standing on the conveyor, the dynamic will accordingly be moved slower and will be colored red in order to indicate its unnatural condition. Please note that several conveyors which are one behind the other need to border on each other precisely.

 

By fastening a conveyor to a linear mover that is oriented vertically, you can construct a lift for pallets. If you connect it to a linear mover that lays on the floor you will get a conveyer wagon.

 

Only movements in the XY-plane are possible, and there are 8 directions only. The conveyor transports the dynamics with the speed that is specified by the drive. The direction of transport is indicated by the arrow within the edit mask, the direction can be changed by clicking.

 

The diagonal conveyor transports the dynamics not along the X- or Y-direction, but in a diagonal direction.
