I am trying to get a spiral conveyor created. Adding the Plane element I cannot get it to work and I really can't find much help on it. Is there a tutorial in using this?
Hi!
You can do it in several ways, the easiest using the Planes elements, make small portions of Planes by filling the conveyor in a spiral, then via code or the digital outputs apply the motion to the planes.
Another option would be using your own custom 3D model with the shape of a spiral, import in M.S. and assign it to the 3D Model component, set the collisionable property and using the script code create the movement of the WorkParts that are on it.
I have been trying the small portions to go up the spiral. I just cannot figure out how to actually get it to work. That's why I've been looking for better info on how to do it.
OK! send me to info@nirtec.com the machine file you have done (file .maq) or User Defined Component (file .udc) and I will try to help you better.
It has been sent. Thank you.
