Return part to Conveyor

I am taking the part out of the conveyor in Station1 and moving it to a new object and doing some work, after that i need to move the part again to conveyor Station1 same location using the process flow. When i try to move the flow item from object to conveyor Station1 it does goes to the conveyor instead it moves to down of the conveyor, Is there is any way to part direct to Station1 using process flow

Items must enter a conveyor through an Entry Transfer. There is no 'standalone' option for adding them, so you'll need to add any fixed resource (like a queue) to the object and drag an a-connection to the conveyor to get an Entry Transfer. You can then delete the queue again. The transfer will persist. Then position it some small distance behind the station (use the "Distance Along" field to compare their positions) if the item should not 'arrive' at the station again. Or in front of it, if the station should trigger again.

You could also place the part on a carrier and then you can remove- replace it at will.

A puck, tray or other container.
