What is a Chain?

See also Basket Sequence - Chain

A chain is a conveyor on which the baskets move one step at the time. It is used for instance when drying times longer than the cycle time are required.

| A chain is created by changing the type of the position where the chain should begin to Chain.

| Changing the type to Chain will ask you to define the number of positions in the chain.

| The chain will be displayed as shown. By default a chain has a chain motor and each chain position is equipped with infrared drying. A chain is normally a transfer positon between two robots. The left robot puts the basket on the first chain position. The right robot then controls the stepping of the chain. When a basket reaches the last position in the chain the right robot takes care of it.
