hi, i was wondering if there is a way to define the number of total products that a feeder process should create and have them all be created instantly and pile one on top of the other on the feeder process node waiting to be transported? thanks
The “Stack Feeder” in the eCat does exactly that. It has a property tab “Stack” where you can define how many products are created and the offset.
It will create Pallets, but if you want to change it, you can open the Product Editor and select another geometry to replace the pallets.
Hello! Thanks for the answer. But what if I need a few stack feeding process of different products. For example, I need one stack feeder for Pallets and another one for sheets (covering palets). If i change pallets in Product editor, it will changes all instances of stack feeders.
Thank you in advance!
Hello s.voytenko,
In that case, you may change the created product type from the “Create” process statements in the other stack feeders.
Thank you so much! That works!
