Parallel external axis control

Hello, im new in the robotstudio simulator and im trying to create an external axis that has movement in X and two independent movements in Y, the idea is to only use a robot to control the 3 DOFs.

I have already used the external axis wizard in it but, for started i have to delete the second frame from the second track to utilize it, and after, it destroys my joint hierarchy and transforms it in a linear type where when I move the first track the second moves along.

Is there any method to create the mechanism? I tried to change the MOC file created from the wizard but, although I was able that the system detected my original mechanism as an external axis and manually control the its joints from the robot joint configuration or the flex pad, when I order it to move to a certain target it can't organize the system kinematics to move and enters in error. Even targets that don't need the movement of the external axis display the same error.

I would like thank you in advance for the help and time.

Best regards

Daniel
