Default 'Push conveyor' possible?

L.S.

Is there an easy way to create some sort of push logic on a conveyor, I mean that a product can only move when it is pushed by another object instead of the conveyor moving it. I think it is possible with a series of photoeyes which communicate with each other about when to stop and move the conveyor, but this would be maybe a too complicated manner...

I hope anybody has some experience with this.
Kind regards,
Maurits

Maurits,

Attached is a model that will do what you described, a "push" conveyor.

Jeff,

thanks a lot for your support. I gave it a try with multiple photoeyes but that wasn't working properly. This one is way easier.

Default You need something like this?

You need something like this? (File Attachment).

They are only moving objects .... I need a running conveyor moves just like the model.

If you change the table "sector", 1.1 zero to a 1 when boxes stop all the boxes go together
