Plane help

[michaelbusry]

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.
