  • What
  • Displays a dialogue box where you can quickly and accurately define and insert in the drawing a Motorised Rollers Platform.
  • Why
  • It is used to enable the drawing of Pallet Motorised Rollers Platform 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 with drop-down menus alongside that allow you to set the drawing dimensioning:

-Diameter, Width, Height.

At the bottom there is a series of drop-down menus that allow you to define the characteristics of the Rollers Platform:

- KW, Rollers Pitch(1), Motorisation(1), Rollers Diameter(1), Photocell(2), Microswitch(2), Lateral Guides.

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

(2) If the photocell is activated, the microswitch is deactivated and vice versa.

The drawing of Rollers Platform is handled by the command TOP_PRMP 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 Platforms can be entered iteratively by selecting at each step the installation point as long as you interrupt it by pressing ESC. In the second case only a Platform is placed next to the last drawing inserted without requiring the installation point, so that you can easily realize a series of flanked drawings.
