Conveying direction (described)

The conveying direction of the Part and the Container on the material flow object can be either one of these:

• Forward. The part moves with its front in the direction of motion of the material flow.

• Lateral right. The part moves with its right hand side in the direction of motion.

• Backward. The part is turned by 180° and moves backwards against the direction of motion.

• Lateral left. The part moves with its left hand side in the direction of motion.

For illustration purposes we use an icon, which looks like this in its normal state:

We advise against manually changing the conveying direction, but to let the AngularConverter or the Turntable do that.
