NX Mechatronics Concept Designer - Tutorial 3.4 - Actuators and sensors

In this video, we will show you the creation of assemblies, as well as different actuators and sensors.
The actuators are used to simulate an elevator (sliding joint and position control), a conveyor belt (transport surface) and an electromagnet (stick on collision). The sensors include light barriers (collision sensor).
Note: In Tutorial 3.6 we also show a way to model a limit switch by reading values from the position controls.
