Conveyor getting stuck

I just started a new model with conveyor. There are two pieces of roller conveyor (non-accumulating) to mimic the machines and the rest is manual roller ball conveyor (accumulating). Because this is the early stage of this project and model there is not much detail yet - so I'm allowing the pieces to "move themselves".

I'm finding after I run for a while one of my pieces gets stuck and does not transfer from a piece of roller ball conv onto the roller conv. I put in a stop point just a little before at 1534. Can someone help me figure out why this is getting stuck here?

Hi @A Kamphaus ,

I'm not sure what is happening and why, but if you make the conveyor on which the item gets stuck a little bit longer it seems to work. You can see this in the attached model. Maybe someone else can explain a bit why you saw the behaviour.
