    Hi,
    For demo purposes I'm looking for a rail arm solidworks part.
    What I need is to present a car plant with a rail that can take one
    part (e.g. a door) from one station and move it to another station.
    The rail itself is a simple profile that is extruded (or swept) along a
    path. I need the arm that slides along the rail with a tray or a sort
    of a gripper that can hold the door.
    It is just for a demo purpose, so I any kind of such an arm will do.

    I looked in the model library sw site but couldn't find any sample.

    Thanks,
    Steph.

    Download and install the T-slots design add-on for Solidworks. You can
    probably make an interesting-looking contraption with their components. And
    fast too!
