View Full Version : 'Push conveyor' possible?

L.S.

Is there an easy way to create some sort of push logic on a conveyor, I mean that a product can only move when it is pushed by another object instead of the conveyor moving it. I think it is possible with a series of photoeyes which communicate with each other about when to stop and move the conveyor, but this would be maybe a too complicated manner...

I hope anybody has some experience with this.
Kind regards,
Maurits

Maurits,

Attached is a model that will do what you described, a "push" conveyor.

Jeff,

thanks a lot for your support. I gave it a try with multiple photoeyes but that wasn't working properly. This one is way easier.

You need something like this? (File Attachment).

They are only moving objects .... I need a running conveyor moves just like the model.

If you change the table "sector", 1.1 zero to a 1 when boxes stop all the boxes go together
