Chain Conveyor

Ribbon: Top Mechanical Draw > Mechanical Library > Conveyors > Chain Conveyor

  • What
  • Displays a dialogue box where you can quickly and accurately define and insert in the drawing a Chain Conveyor.
  • Why
  • It is used to enable the drawing of Pallet Motorized Chain 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 we 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, Chains Wheelbase, Cable Tracks.

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 Chains Conveyor:

- KW, Motorisation(1), Chain(1), Photocell(2), Microswitch(2), Standing Legs, Lateral Guides, Final Stop.

(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 Pallet Motorized Rollers Conveyors is handled by the command TOP_TRMP 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 Rollers Conveyor 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 Rollers Conveyor is placed next to the last drawing inserted without requiring the installation point, so that you can easily realize a series of flanked drawings.
