Motorised Chains Platform

Ribbon: Top Mechanical Draw > Mechanical Library > Conveyors > Motorised Chains Platform

  • 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 Chains 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 drop-down menus alongside that allow you to set the drawing dimensioning:

- Diameter, Height, Chains Wheelbase, Cable Tracks.

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

- KW, Motorisation(1), Chain(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 Chains Platform is handled by the command TOP_PCMP 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.
