NOTE: The drives used by the removed conveyor are not automatically removed from the project configuration.

Step	Action
1	Click the Refresh button to ensure that the conveyor is no longer listed in the list on the left-hand side.
2	Select the conveyor to remove from the list on the right-hand side.
3	Click <<< to remove the selected conveyor.

NOTE: It is possible to verify the new layout of the RobotCell in the 3D Layout tab of the RobotCell object.

To remove each targets handler that was using the removed conveyor as a velocity source, proceed as follows:

Additional points to consider are the following:

Ensure that none of the removed conveyors are still considered by the pick and place logic. This can be verified in the method RobotCell.Init_Supervisor by verifying the parameters G_astRoboticCellTargetSelection, G_astRoboticCellPickSearchLogic and G_astRoboticCellPlaceSearchLogic .
Ensure that none of the removed conveyors are still considered by the balancing strategies. This can be verified in the method RobotCell.Init_Balancing.
