I have a rectangular package passing from a belt conveyor to two belt conveyors side by side. One of the side by side conveyors runs faster than the other. This rotates the package 90 degrees. How do I make the package change orientation upon exiting the two belt conveyor?
You inserts on the conveyor a Photo Eye or a Decision Point. Then you open the Object's Properties through the right mouse button context menu, a double click of the left mouse button or the three dot button next to Object's Type (e.g. Photo Eye Type) in the Quick Properties on the right side of the workspace. The triggers have got the picklist option you are searching. Activate the green plus symbol on the right of the trigger, choose in the order Movement > Rotate Item.
You need decide if you want to see the movement over a time interval or a length distance. Or if want to get the effect instantly the distance or time is set to 0.
@Jörg Vogel Thanks that has worked for me. Now my model is progressing to where I want to rotate only item type 1, but not item type 2. How do I make that work?
Brad, the Rotate Item properties has a "Condition" field which determines under what condition the action is executed:
true means the action is always executed. You can replace this with a comparison, such as
item.Type == 1
(Note that the comparison operator is a double equals symbol!)
