Wrong Y-rotation on AAC-Curved with elevation

[ptis]

Hello,

If an Advanced Accumulating Conveyor Curved has an elevation, the products don't rotated around the y-axis. On the AAC-Straight everything works fine. (Except from the wrong visualization of the supports.). I guess ACs_3DDraw can help with the right rotation:

Code: Select all

{**Make sure products are rotated correctly at conveyor**}
  if(
    Conveyors_Angle(atmC) <> 0,
    do(
      Repeat(
        Content(atmC),
        zTrans(rank(Count, atmC)) := -(zLoc(rank(Count, atmC))) + 0.001 + Label([TransZ], rank(Count, atmC))
      ),
      RotateCoords(-(Conveyors_Angle(atmC)), 0, 1, 0) {!!!!!}
    )
  )

And ACc_3DDraw should execute this?

Or is there an other way to do this?

Thanks

Hello ptis,

Thank you for reporting these two "bugs" in the accumulating conveyors. We have found a solution for the wrong visualization of the supports of the straight conveyor and are internally testing it right now.

Concerning your second issue about the wrong Y-rotation on the AACc, this was a known issue but we could not solve it in a nice way for the current version of ED (8.2.5). We are now working on a fix for a future release. Until then you can use a very specific workaround. To this post I attached a (new) Product atom. You have to load it in your library and then replace all your products in your model by this new product atom. It still has all the original functionality, but now for the specific case when a product is on an AACc, it will correctly rotate the product along the Y-Axis.

Regards,

Bart

Hello BartC,

thanks for your answer and your solution. It works perfect.
