lamensterms Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi, Just wondeing if anyone has got or knows of a resource for a collection of conveyor idlers (3D CAD blocks). I've had a look around online (GrabCAD, TraceParts, Google) and havent been able to find much. Thanks a lot for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 What kind of conveyor idlers? If just a flat idler roll, you should be able to draw that in about 30 seconds and if trough idlers maybe a minute. I can usually get conveyor part files from the manufacturers, if you use there parts, they will usually send the files, the salesman can usually get them or put you in touch with engineering.

lamensterms Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for any idler in particular, rather I'm in the process of overhauling our block library at work - and would like to include a whole heap. We work in materials handling and a lot of the design modelling we do is carried out by the draftsman, rather than the engineers/designers. So I would really like to be able to compile a large collection blocks, to save the draftsman having to create each block on a per job basis (hopefully eliminate a few errors along the way too). Thanks again for the reply, getting in touch with the manufacurers could be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
