I agree with all that you have said. Now you can see why it is difficult to make the perfect scenario work; however, you can mitigate the unforeseen by building a better average case scenario which is prevalent 85% of the time.

Amen! That is exactly why I am doing what I am doing. Filtering for tilt angles is the final step in determining ideal packaging and packaging intervals for ecommerce.

That is the ideal world of consistent sized items. Not real given Amazon, UPS and FedEx

Coming in contact. Sorry!

They should, but in scenarios like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon, packages travel so fast that their orientation will change when combining in contact the each other, bumper rails, loss of friction, etc...

Technically, given a box can never be longer than it is wide, it would be 6(L) x 4(W) x 50(H). I acknowledge that box configuration will not ride well on a conveyor, that would be filtered out as a possible configuration because its tilt angle would be far less than 30 degrees.

I don't believe it has any relevance, but the only rule regarding dimensions is: Width can never be larger than length.

Length = 6 to 50 inches Width = 4 to 50 inches Height = 4 to 50 inches

Ok. I am with you this far. The conveyor actually has the ability to run between 45 to 250 rpm. The package weights range between 0.5 to 50 lbs.

I just now familiarized myself with the all that it entails.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar FBDs.

I am attempting to build a calculator that will calculate the tilt of a different shapes of packages traveling along a conveyor. the variables I am most interested in considering are: length, width and height of the package; speed of conveyor; radius and degree of turns. Can anyone provide me...
