Implementation Of A Liftgate Conveyor

Has anyone ever implemented a lift gate conveyor in Visual Components? Something similar to these:

If you wonder why I would want to replicate this feature, there are some lines where access is needed across the conveyor and no bridge is present. I want to model the disruption the lift gate creates.

If we don’t consider manually lifting the conveyor for now, it seems feasible with the current eCat, add servo controller to conveyor and some scripts.

Thanks for the quick response to my question. Which VC conveyor did you use as your starting point? Just the generic straight section?

Yes, any conveyor should work. Pathway stay as is, just move the geometry to the new link.

Is it possible to analyze the file?
