hello everyone.
my simulation have a robot arm. This robot take a part in a conveyor and load a processor. this same robot unload processor and put this part at next queue.
i need change just one thing. when the processor works, the robot need take a part in a conveyor and wait in front a processor with the part in your hand. When the processor finish a task, the robot unload a finish part and load the part with no process. SIMULTANEOUSLY.
like a links below (i can't download there exemples because there are very old)

In this model I had the robot connected as the center object of the conveyor's exit transfer and as the center object of the processor. I then selected the "Use Transport" option for both the exit transfer and the processor.
I also changed the Maximum Content of Processor1 to 2. That way it can unload right before loading the processed item. Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully it helps.
Model: robot-unloads-and-loads.fsm
See that example.
the processor 1 wait the robot load the processor 2 and take a part in queue 1 to load the processor 1.
so, if the robot have a automatic claw take a part in queue 1 and wait the processor 1 finish and when the processor 1 finish he unload the finish part and load the raw part the processor 1 not stay waiting the robot.
I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but is this what you are looking for? Let me know if anything needs to be changed.
Henrique,
I did not build this model myself, but I think it does what you want. All the possible movements of the robot, including rotating the gripper, are implemented through paths in the robot GUI.
In the process flow, the next path is set for the next operation. This is a pretty simple sample, since the whole process is hard coded as a repetitive sequence, but will give you an idea, how to do it.
If you want the gripper to look nicer, you will have to change that in the Animation Creator.
Good Luck
Ralf
Hello Ralf!
Bullseye!
Tks for your time!
Now i need just adjust this sample right in my project.
but is not so simple to me because I do not know anything about Process Flow.
Hi @Henrique O2
If you would like some help learning Process Flow, there are some helpful tutorials found in the FlexSim user manual. Also, feel free to ask more questions if you have any difficulties.
Using process flow, have an "unload" then "move object" activity right after each other, the unload is referencing the part in hand and the move object is referencing the finished part.
thanks @Joshua S, but i don't have knowledge about Process Flow to do this. do you know how do this just modelation mode?
