Preserve or Rotate Item orientation between separate conveyor

Greetings,

I would like to know if there is a way to preserve item orientation between 2 separate conveyors.

As you can see in the picture the orientation of the pallet changed after being placed by the crane on the second conveyor.

Thanks In Advanced

Hi @Yudha, as you can see in the image width of the conveyors are not same. Item Orientation is not changed, it is a width issue. You can always use DecisionPoint to change the orientation.

You can also adjust the entry orientation in the Entry Transfer. Because the orientation on the conveyor is relative to that the conveyor, the orientation must be different on perpendicular conveyors to keep the global rotation the same.

Furthermore, an item's rotation is always reset upon leaving a conveyor. So to have the correct rotation while transported by the crane, set the item's rotation in its entry trigger.
