Creates or modifies region and zone properties on a conveyor belt. Place Conveyor Belt Command defines belt regions automatically, but the software hides regions until you use Create/Modify Belt Regions . Regions are defined at each pulley and at each belt section between two pulleys. Regions numbers increase in the direction of belt motion, starting with the tail pulley.
1 - Tail pulley region
2 - Carry region
3 - Head pulley region
5, 7, 9 - Pulley regions
4, 6, 8, 10 - Belt regions
If you do not specify region properties using Create/Modify Belt Regions , then the belt displays default cross-section geometry: flat for the return side of the belt, and the following zones for the carry region:
-
Transition (at the tail end)
-
Trough
-
Transition (at the head end)
1 - Transition
2 - Trough
When you use Create/Modify Belt Regions , you can specify properties for a series of zones within the selected belt region.
-

If you do not need a zone, you can set length of the zone to zero.
