Conveyors and position sensors

Marmur911

Hello everyone, In the beggining I would like to apologize for many qestions that I am going to ask you, because these are my firts steps in robotstudio, I need it for my university project.
I've got a problem with robotstudio 6.03, I need to design a station wich automatically sorts different components. Components have diffrent shapes and dimensions (I have 3 types of components going into the station on conveyor in diffrent orientations). The problem is how to create working like real conveyor belt, I trid to do that by creating smart component, I tried to create conveyor, I have tried to import conveyor from picking power pac, but none of those suits my needs or I just don't know how to use that stuff...

At the moment I can build conveyor by smart component, it works just fine, but there is a big problem with stoping the conveyor, if component goes into end of conveyor, the conveoyor stops, but if I'd move part the part is moved by conveyor....

I would be really happy if you could give me some advice.
If you know some tutorials wich can help me plz share
Thank you all in advance.

Hello
You could try my SmartComponent that i created https://forums.robotstudio.com/discussion/9829/smartcomponent-simulating-conveyors#latest
lt will not stop as parts reach the end and you can change geometry during simulation. I have never tried to pick the items so would be glad to hear if you succeed with that if you decide to try my component.
