See also Basket Sequence - Chain
A chain is a conveyor on which the baskets move one step at the time. It is used for instance when drying times longer than the cycle time are required.
| A chain is created by changing the type of the position to Chain. |
| Changing the type to Chain will ask you to define the number of positions in the chain. |

The chain will be displayed as shown.
By default a chain has a chain motor and each chain position is equipped with one infrared dryer. Normally, the first position in a chain is a transfer position between two Robots. The left robot puts the basket on the first chain position. The right robot then controls the stepping of the chain. When a basket reaches the last position in the chain the right robot takes care of it. |
