[ FlexSim 22.1.2 ]
I am trying to model a "singulator" where packages are moved to one side using a roller skew angle. Those that are not far enough over fall down chutes and have to recirculate.
The first conveyor (the wide one on the right of the picture) has a skew angle of 5, and packages move gently toward the left side (bottom of picture) as expected. The next downstream conveyor has a 0 skew angle, and then the third conveyor (highlighted) also has a skew of 5, but the packages start moving back towards the top (right edge). There is no apparent difference between the conveyors, except that one is wider. I have tried using different skew angles, including negative ones, but the direction of translation is always to the right.
What is going on?
Here is the model: Skew_angle_wrong_direction.fsm
(There is a stop time set at 2.7 minutes which is just before the first packages reach this area.)
