Belt Conveyor

Model a belt conveyor with run state, material presence surfaces, startup ramp behavior, runtime health, and faults for line simulations.

What it is

A belt-driven conveyor with speed control, startup ramp, material transfer tracking, and bearing-health surfaces. Models the transport link between production stages — the thing that moves parts from one machine to the next.

Used in

  • smart-factory — assembly area, transfer conveyors between presses and downstream stations

What it tracks

MemberWhy it matters
runningRun state from run_command plus ramp dynamics.
speed_feedbackRamped belt speed.
motor_currentLoaded vs unloaded draw.
product_present_entry / product_present_exitPhotoeye-style presence surfaces bound to live environment counters.
head_pulley_tempBearing thermal indicator.
belt_tensionMechanical state proxy.
vibration_bearingCondition monitoring.
runtime_hoursLifetime counter.

Fault modes

  • belt_misalignment — tension and vibration rise, potential material drop-off.
  • belt_slip — speed-feedback lag under load.
  • bearing_failure — head-pulley temperature and bearing vibration climb.

Key parameters

ParameterDefaultUnit
belt_length_m10m
design_speed_mps1.0m/s
travel_time_s10s
motor_power_kw5.5kW

Use cases

  • Production line throughput and presence tracking.
  • Modelling transfer delay between discrete stations (cycle alignment, buffer behaviour).
  • Bearing and belt condition monitoring scenarios.
