Tilting multiplier

摘要

A method of operating a tilting carrier assembly includes operating a conveyor in a primary direction of travel and supporting a work piece from the conveyor by a pair of links. A pair of respective upper connection points of the links are laterally spaced transverse to the primary direction of travel and a pair of respective lower connection points of the links are also laterally spaced. The work piece is conveyed along the primary direction of travel relative to a work station, and the upper connection points are tilted so that a line therebetween forms a first angle relative to horizontal. In response, the lower connection points and the work piece are tilted to a second angle relative to horizontal, and the second angle is greater than the first angle.

1. A method of operating a tilting carrier assembly, the method comprising:
operating a conveyor in a primary direction of travel; supporting a work piece from the conveyor by a pair of links, wherein a pair of respective upper connection points of the pair of links are laterally spaced transverse to the primary direction of travel and a pair of respective lower connection points of the pair of links are laterally spaced transverse to the primary direction of travel; conveying the work piece along the primary direction of travel relative to a work station; tilting the upper connection points so that a line therebetween forms a first angle relative to horizontal; and in response to the tilting of the upper connection points to form the first angle, tilting the lower connection points and the work piece to a second angle relative to horizontal, the second angle being greater than the first angle.
