Yongchao,

I looked at your model in version 2016_2_0. From what I was able to see, I think that the problem you are seeing is a result of the decision point being too close to the entry location for the queue. Basically, the conveyor will not allow the item onto the conveyor until there is space available for the item. Thus, when the decision point is further away from the entry location it works correctly and when it is too close the item sits in the queue until the original item starts to move again.

I hope this answers your question,

Brandon

I think I was able to achieve what you were trying to do. I removed the queue on the side but kept the entry transfer point. (To get the transfer point to remain when deleting the connected object, simply right-click on the transfer point and select remove connections. Then I created the copied item directly into the transfer point.) The cleaned up code for your on arrival trigger looks like this:

if(!objectexists(label(item,1)))
{
	setsize(item,xsize(item)/2,ysize(item),zsize(item));
	treenode copy = insertcopy(item,centerobject(current,1));
	setlabel(copy,"copy",1);
}

And finally to remove the gap in the cut item, I simply changed the conveyor type properties to go by "0.5" units of length measurement rather than the default "1" to match the half length of your cut items.

I've reattached the model below:
