  • What
  • Displays a dialogue box where you can quickly and accurately define and insert in the drawing an Idle Rollers Conveyor.
  • Why
  • It is used to enable the drawing of Pallet Idle Rollers Conveyor with the automatic creation of parts.
  • How
  • Designer has at his or her disposal a simple and essential dialogue box that can be divided into two main parts.

In the upper left corner you see the image that shows a drawing preview and to the right a few drop-down menus that allow you to set the dimensioning:

- Length, Width, Height of Entry, Height of Exit.

At the bottom there are the buttons that allow you to optionally set the installation point (left or right) and a series of drop-down menus that allow you to define the characteristics of the conveyor:

- Rollers Pitch(1), Rollers Diameter (1), Microswitch, Standing Legs, Stop Metal Sheet, Picking Metal Sheet, Final Stop.

(1) These values can be set as desired by editing text files included in the application.

The drawing of Pallet Idle Rollers Conveyors is handled by the command TOP_TRFP which operates in two separate modes depending on whether the Select installation point button is enabled or disabled. In the first case, each time the command is executed one or more Idle Conveyors can be iteratively entered by selecting at each step the installation point as long as you interrupt it by pressing ESC. In the second case the Idle Conveyors is placed next to the last drawing inserted without requiring the installation point, so that you can easily realize a series of flanked drawings.
