Movex 553 FLEXTOP - Dynamic Rotation - Complete dimensioning solution

Below sketch of the typical schemes can be done
with the 553 FlexTop belt.
• FlexTop belt width (bigger than good swidth, multiple of 3” standard measure):
• Goods pitch (if not provided as input, at least long as goods diagonal D):
• Directional belt widths:
• Directional belt lengths:
• Goods speed (if not provided as input, can be calculated from capacity):
• FlexTop belt speed (considering all spheres running on a flat plate):
• Useful time (net available time for directioning):
• Turning goods speed:
• Speed to rotate goods:
• Sphere belt speed: S

For a faster rotation of the goods, the two parallel belts
can be activated while the goods is still running on the
553 FlexTop belt.
This will result to be faster than the static one, but the
rotation precision won’t be as high as the first solution,
for obvious reasons.
