2. Move the mouse pointer to determine the direction and the angle of the bend. Click to

Vertical Section
The Vertical Section component will create a section that can be connected to an existing
part on the drawing area (drive unit, beam, idler etc.) and is used to provide a vertical
change of direction in the conveyor. The vertical section includes two vertical bends and
the conveyor beam in between. The vertical section starts and ends horizontally.
You can stretch the vertical section to the desired length, determine the
inclination/declination as well as the direction of the it.
Angle
This choice sets the inclination of the beam.
Height Difference
The plus and the minus buttons set the direction of the inclination. Plus (+) means that the
conveyor will incline from the point that you connect the vertical section to. Minus (-)
means decline. In the white text field to the right, you type in the actual height difference.
Note:
It is not possible to connect supports to the conveyor beam in a vertical section if the
angle is 15, since special support brackets are required.
Support
A typical conveyor support solution is made up of beams, feet and several types of beam
connecting devices. The support can be placed manually in the desired position on the
conveyor. You can also let the program automatically spread out at the required amount at
regular intervals (Auto Support, see below).
Before placing the support, click the Settings button.
Settings
Clicking the Settings button will open up the Support Setup dialog box (see below),
where you do your pre-sets.
The Support Setup dialog box.
System/Type
This information field simply displays the selected conveyor system. To change to a different system
type, close the dialog box. Go back to the top of the component tab and select one of the five options
and re-open the Support Setup dialog.
