hi,
we have 6 irb360 robots, 1 conveyor work area to picking, 2 conveyor work area to placing,
and 2 gige camera,
i want to use conveyor start stop function for place work area on last robot controller,
when i start PM project, conveyors starts, too, but never stop,
i want to stop conveyor when there is a box not fully near last robot,
what can i do about this problem,
best regards,
Hello Mehmet,
The distance between the Stop limit and the Exit limit must be large enough to fit the box.
Hi Mehmet,
Also, if you have not already done this, check that “start on production start” is un-clicked on all of the other work areas on the same conveyor.

Hello,
I want to talk about a new topic about the line.
(our line is configured as 1 camera with 3robot and 1 camera with 3 robot and 1 PM)
The infeed conveyor is always fix speed running, but the product packages per minute is varying. Last robot is stop and start conveyor, and we use ATC. The outfeed conveyor is predefined object (container). Last robot stop the outfeed conveyor but it doesn’t find any item to pick . Therefore the outfeed cnv speed must be change due to change of packages number. But it is very difficult. What do you suggest us for this problem?
?s using load balance more suitable for this problem?

Hi Mehmet,
If the Pick and place conveyors are moving in the same direction you should use Loadbalancing and ATC together.
If the Pick and place conveyors are moving in opposit direction ATC should the best solution.

Hi Fabrice,
Thank you for your help.
How can we use ATC and LB together? We try distribution configuration to make it, but we were unsuccessful.
