Assembly line Rotary table simulation

Hello I have a question regarding a rotary line simulation. Have some troubles simulating it. If someone can help me at this stage of my learning. (plus I found that comunity is great here)

I also upload a simulation of an early project Rotary table.20180615-model-rotary-table.fsm

1. Operater1 puts input material from Queue1 to conveyor. Conveyor moves incremental.

2. Robot1 picks part from conveyor and puts it on rotary table.

3. Rotary table has 14 positiones.

4. Robot2 picks on the last station and puts it on conveyor.

5. Operator picks peace from conveyor and puts in in combiner. Also on every 50 pieces puts one piece from Queue 2.

@Zan K

Could you explain more specifically what you are having trouble with?

As for the Rotary Table, I would suggest building a similar table to your earlier project (with 14 positions), then use process flow to control it. Have a "Wait for Event" or "Event-Triggered Source" that determines when a part arrives at the end of the first conveyor, then have Robot1 move the part to Position_1 on the table. Have the table rotate (Use a "Change Visual") before or after each item is added onto the table, and have Robot2 pull items off the table when they have been on as long as you want (after a certain number of items have been added on for example).
