Exercise 4: Adding a Satellite to a Main Pallet Conveyor
This exercise will teach you how to add a satellite to a main XK pallet conveyor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proceed as follows:
1. Go to the Pallet Coneyor tab and select XK as system type.
2. Do your pre-sets.
3. To create the main conveyor, proceed in the usual way by placing a drive unit,
continuing with a beam and finally completing the system with an idler.
4. To make the positioning of the divert/merge easier and more exact, define a
connecting point. Go to the Line Drawing 1 tab and select a Reference Point under
Drawing Aids. Move the reference point to the drawing area and position it where you
want the divert/merge.
5. Select the Divert/Merge component. Move the mouse pointer close to the reference
point, place the arrow exactly on the blue point and click. Make sure that you have a
180-degree angle by moving the mouse pointer in the desired direction and click
again.
6. Select a beam, snap it to one side of the divert/merge and click. Enter the desired
beam length and click. Add the second beam in the same way.
7. Select a Horizontal Bend Drive Unit and snap it to the first beam and click. Move the
mouse pointer to the second beam and click again. The satellite is now complete and
turns gray.
