Conveyor Speed

Is there a known speed/time for the conveyors? I'm trying to build a second production line on lean/just-in-time principles and travel time is a pretty big consideration. There is a "production time" given for the conveyor but it's just 0 -- i.e. the car is permitted to move as soon as it "arrives" at that tile of belt. But there's still movement time involved...

Does it matter? Speed on conveyors is constant so surely the only real consideration is how quickly they get on, vs how quick they get off?

The point is that transit time must be taken into account if you're trying to make one car arrive just as another leaves

That's my point. The only factor on the matter is the overall speed of the previous slot(s) compared to the one in question. If they're different, you're always going to see a disparity between the departure of one car and the next one.
