Marking a Cross Belt Sorter
A cross-belt sorter is marked by one SimItemBlock, at the beginning of the each of its sections. The length of the section will be determined by the beginning of the next section. The last section should be connected to the first section.
Because SimItemBlocks are always coplanar to the XY plane, the tilt angle is also defined by the location of the next section.
Positioning
Each block is placed at the beginning of the section in the centre of the sorter. The end of the section is determined by the block marking the beginning of the next section.
Rotation
Enter the direction of the conveyor on the XY plane in degrees between 0 and 360 degrees.
- Rotation 0 is parallel to the X axis, towards increasing x coordinates
- Rotation 90 is parallel to the Y axis, towards increasing y coordinates
