Unpack Cycletime

[Spaggio86]

Sorry but I have a problem.

I have a conteiner full of products that must be unpacked with a specific cycletime but my datas are about the unpacking time of the single products. I mandatory have to describe the unpacking process with an NegExp(54) distribution referred to the single products. This is possible?

I have another question... Why Doen't the animation of the unpack (differently by the assembler) shows the single product leaving the container? At the end of cycle time all the products are immediatly disassembled in the same time. How to see sthe single products leave separately?

Hi Spaggio,

The easiest way to solve this problem is by adding an extra server atom behind the Unpack.

- The Unpack unpacks the products from the pallet in 0 seconds
- The Server represents the cylce time of the Unpack. (negexp(58) per product)

The unpack will accept a new pallet as soon as the last product has left the unpack. However, Product #4 still needs to be unpacked negexp(58) by the Server.

Therefore:
In the trigger on entry of the unpack

Code: Select all

CloseInput(c)

In the trigger on exit of the server

Code: Select all

If(
  mod(output(c),4) = 0,
  OpenInput(in(1,c))
)
