Conveyor Stops for no (obvious) reason

Hello everyone,

I have had some problems with a process involving a conveyor. I am trying to model a process, in which empty pallets are carried to a palletizing station which palletizes 7 different products simultaneously. The empty pallets are brought to a buffer with an AGV and enter the palletizer whenever one of the 7 slots is empty. Once a pallet is full after X seconds, the pallet turns green and is supposed to move to a conveyor which connects all 7 slots to the pickup-point for full pallets. I will add screenshots so you can imagine the process.
The problem i have is, that after a few hours of simulation, 2 pallets are moving onto the conveyor at the exact same time, and it seems to stop ONLY the very first pallet on the conveyor but none of the others. I have tried many things but the only thing i can image by now is that VC is having a bug in this specific situation. What am i missing??

This is the flow i configured

This is one of the palletize- processes. As you can see there is a Light curtain installed, which was one of my measures to keep multiple pallets from entering the conveyor. It did not help.

If you have any ideas on how to fix this i would be extremely grateful!

For all that might be interested, I have changed the settings of my “ToConveyor”-Processes so that the pallets enter the component container of the conveyor. It was probably a rookie mistake of mine, but now it works just fine!
