Robot Speeds

Hi all, could someone help me with the following question?

I have a setup where a robot moves boxes from a conveyor into 10 different locations on the floor.

For the locations that are further away from the center of the robot, it obliviously take more time for the robotic arm to reach.

In the example below,

-green locations take 6 seconds,

-blue and orange take 7 seconds,

-pink and brown take 8 seconds.

I would like to model these differences in cycle time for the robot without over-complicating things. I've seen posts and read the manual about motion paths, but this sounds too complicated and I am not sure I'll be able to model that.

Is there a simpler way to do it? What would you recommend?

Thank you very much in advance,

Lambert

Hi Lambert,

are you using port connections form the processor to the combiners/queues?

If so, one option would be to reference the move time to the exit port of the item.

Here's an example
