@FLOP1: I have the same approach. The problem is that all the cups are on the same side... I think there is a "trick" to be exploited in this way. The cups are made of plastic. No worries about fragility.
Hello
same idea as 1 FLOP1 just have to create paths so that we get the distribution of the first stack

No better ideas than @franck.ceroux ... On the other hand, don't forget to make a kind of funnel at each path entrance so that a cup doesn't get stuck against a "pillar" (the space between two entrances)

@franck.ceroux: Yes, I agree with you. :p
I also had the same idea, but if the cups don't respect the lines, then they can get stuck...

Hello
3-4 straight chutes distributed along the first conveyor and which arrives in steps on the second.
It can distribute the cups "may-ready".

+1 coin37coin you need funnels at the entrance, you can also force the distribution on the mat if the pieces have enough grip and you can eliminate the risk of it overlapping. When a cup passes through a path, it rotates a guide Y which closes this path and directs towards the next one. At the moment when a cup passes through the second path, it reopens the first and closes the second, etc

how much do we get if we find :)

@franck.ceroux, I'm a little afraid that you'll complicate the thing for not much with the risk of seizure and other impromptu anomalies (that said, for the creative side, I recognize that it's great)
@Frederic, simple and effective ^^. You just have to be careful that the cups don't get on their backs at the finish with the speed. (with Franck.Ceroux's solution, it's overdone and/or with a gentler slope

Quite okay coin37coin no need to complicate since not ask in the statement of the technical PB.

coin37coin, in my solution you can also soften the slope by "pivoting" the ramps towards a higher part of the conveyor.
Hi everyone,
On the top conveyor, I would put two for three combs before the funnels.
Let me explain: perpendicular to the mat, a plate on which pins spaced the width of the cups + X are welded. The first flat with like two or three axes, it allows you to guide and separate the cups from each other, then another flat but with 4 or 5 axes to refine the guidance and a last one to place everything well:

Hello
To have made a conveyor for optical lenses, upstream of the slope it is necessary to place vertical rods that will allow the cups to be pre-oriented
in stages by 2 rods by 4 and number of entries of the slide.
The material for the slide? I use nilatron, it works very well and you can give quite complex shapes. it doesn't leave a trace on the products and it slides just enough

at 5mm ready @pierre.marie.ferry made the drawing lol
so that's on it works I made it and installed it

A big thank you to all for your interest in finding technical solutions!!!! With my team, we opted for a 'slide' in 304L stainless steel sheet (food required) shaped thanks to Logitrace. We will then do tests without separators. Then with (I doubt it can work without it).
@Gerald and @pierre.marie.ferry your ideas are very ingenious!!! I don't use them in my current application but they are carefully noted:p
And thanks again to franck.ceroux who gave the best answer:) I also note Frédéric 's solution, which cannot be ruled out.
Thank you all and the Lynkoa platform;)
(PS: I'm trying to keep you up to date with the progress with photos here!)

Thank you @Charles for this great message;) we see the beautiful spirit of Lynkoa and it's great. Congratulations to all for this collaborative success!

@Charly.METAYER to note the comb for food rods of 8 in stainless steel it works but adds a possibility of horizontal adjustment.
And if I need an idea to bring things to heel, converge, diverge, I have a few years of experience in the yogurt pot

I forgot to give you my bank details for the transaction:)
I worked for the company CERMEX based in the gold coast and specialized in packaging chains, like @Gerald (I can't make the connection...) I have a few years of experience so don't hesitate to ask us.
And thank you for the message

@pierre.marie.ferry But I know CERMEX .... I was Techma pack
I understand better how it is that we had a similar idea....
