	I want to build a conveyor downstream of a roll forming machine for varying sizes of C channel. When the size i.e. height of the channel changes, there is set up change in the rolling machine. How the conveyor is to be adjusted to the changed size of the c channel.

	Is it possible to link the conveyor to the component of the roll forming machine that is involved in the dimensional change? __________________ CRTL-Z

	No answer? How about posting a sign: "YOU MUST BE THIS TALL (insert dimension)TO RIDE ON CONVEYOR" __________________ CRTL-Z

	I could write a 2,000 page plus book on this subject. You did not give enough info to even make any guesses. There is C channel for roofing, iron C channel (a hot rollling process), C-channel for studs, .different materials and thickness PEbobimm

	Would it not further your concept to design the conveyor to accommodate all the channel sizes? __________________ If death came with a warning there would be a whole lot less of it.

	Make the conveyor as wide as the widest channel to be formed. It should then be able to handle the narrower channels just fine. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	I assumed the OP meant the height (distance from floor) at which the finished part left the machine, assuming this height changes with dimension of product and the lower die roller I guess I assume too much. No one knows, only THE SHADOW! __________________ CRTL-Z
