If items have different speed on the conveyor, you probably do not have a conveyor you want to model. The basic conveyor could help, but you need to program movements individually. The advantage is that queueing and other item interactivity on the basic conveyor is controlled already.
Alternatives, based on your actual problem:
- use kinematics (also programming)
- model the conveyor with taskexecuters as flowitems and a path

thank you Dirk-Jan
in conveyor if use x direction kinematics ,you can not move out item in the end of conveyor, or rather you should do a lot of coding can move out in the end of conveyor,if not ,the item will move beyond conveyor;

"model the conveyor with taskexecuters as flowitems and a path" can not statistic a lot of things
