# Conveyor — Conveyor System Reference

Quick-reference skill for conveyor types, engineering calculations, and material handling design.

## When to Use

- Selecting conveyor types for warehouse or manufacturing
- Calculating belt speed, throughput, and motor power
- Designing conveyor layouts for sorting and distribution
- Troubleshooting belt tracking, slippage, and jams
- Planning automated material handling systems

## Commands

### `intro`

```bash
scripts/script.sh intro
```

Overview of conveyor systems — types, applications, and selection criteria.

### `types`

```bash
scripts/script.sh types
```

Conveyor types: belt, roller, chain, screw, pneumatic, and more.

### `sizing`

```bash
scripts/script.sh sizing
```

Engineering calculations — belt speed, throughput, motor power, incline limits.

### `layout`

```bash
scripts/script.sh layout
```

Layout design — curves, merges, diverts, accumulation zones.

### `controls`

```bash
scripts/script.sh controls
```

Controls and sensors — photoeyes, encoders, VFDs, PLC logic.

### `sorting`

```bash
scripts/script.sh sorting
```

Sortation systems — shoe sorters, crossbelt, tilt-tray, and pop-up diverts.

### `maintenance`

```bash
scripts/script.sh maintenance
```

Preventive maintenance schedules, common failures, and troubleshooting.

### `safety`

```bash
scripts/script.sh safety
```

Conveyor safety standards, guarding, e-stops, and lockout/tagout.

### `help`

```bash
scripts/script.sh help
```

### `version`

```bash
scripts/script.sh version
```

## Configuration

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `CONVEYOR_DIR` | Data directory (default: ~/.conveyor/) |
