Rate, Gap, and Speed Problems: Show all calculations to get full credit. 1) In a continuous motion machine, a vendor has specified that their barcode scanner requires a 10" gap between products. A Brake-Meter-Belt is being used to generate the necessary gap across 2 belt conveyors. Min Product Length: 10" Max Product Length: 36" Average Product Length: 18" A) What speed ratio is required to generate the necessary 10" minimum gap between products? B Using this speed ratio what will the gap be for the Max Product Length? C) What speeds would you use if you need to achieve a rate of 50 Products Per Minut using the average product length? D) What is the \% product density going through the machine? E) Assuming that the heaviest product weight is 25lbs/ft. and the machine is 10 long what is the product live load on the machine at any time? (Live Load = Weight / ft. * Density * Length) F) A customer has specified that for safety reasons no machine may exceed 120FPM, keeping the ratio the same, what does this do to the rate using the average product length
