How can i do the Tilt Conveyors?

I want to send the items to two different up and down lines using Tilting the Conveyor Up/Down instead of using Elevator.

Don't try it directly inside the conveyor system. Let a processor divide the items vertically. The Processor tilts. The spatial variable centroid has to be set to "0".

Here I attach a variant with setting a new location on entry and adding a surrogate object as a conveyor.

Hello @SHASHIKUMAR. V you need to change the Z start and end lenghts, one click in the conveyor and use the quick proprieties in the right side. I hope can be helpful. Regards!

The Conveyor 2 should be Tilt up and down to send box to conveyor 3 or 4.
