Conveyor Components
A Divert, Merge or a combined Divert/Merge component can be connected alongside or
to the ends of an existing beam on the drawing area. You can set the direction and the
angle of these components.
Divert
A divert is used for guiding the flow of products off the highway into a satellite.
Merge
