iLogic code: Conveyour with hangers

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 08:55:17 GMT

So I'm makin a conveyour with hangers on it and I want to add an iLogic rule, that changes the amount of hangers compared to the length of the conveyor

Hanger Distance: Min 600 mm max 1000

Length of the conveyor (Min 150 mm max 6000) ...From 150-500 mm there should be no hangers

I have the followig 2 parameters

Length (Length of the conveyour)

Hanger_Distance (The distance between each hanger. min distance = 600 mm max 1000 mm)

The Hanger is offset from center at Hanger_Distance/2

How would I go about writting the ilogic code for this?

Hello,

Thank you.

Where do you want you hangers to start and end?

Do you have a distance from the edge where the first and last hanger are placed?

The hanger should either start

from 0, from center of conveyor

Hanger_Distance/2 from center (like the .ipt)

If this could be selectable, that'd be nice

Hello,

Ok.

The only problem is you are using an older version of Inventor than me. I am on 2018.

What version are you using?

Thomas.

Hello,

I could do a Screencast of a easy way to do it. So you can see if this would work for you. So you can copy it easy.

Or when i get home i can see if i have 2015 and attach an .ipt.
