Belt conveyor for transporting workpiece, has carrier structure with segments that are swivelable relative to each other, from operation position, in which segments are connected, to maintenance position in which belt is relaxed

摘要

The conveyor has a belt (2), and a carrier structure (3) that is provided with two segments (4, 5). The segments are swivelable relative to each other, from an operation position, in which the segments are connected with one another, to a maintenance position, in which the belt is relaxed, over a swivel joint. A rotary axis of the swivel joint (8) runs transverse to a conveying direction of the belt, and parallel to a conveying level.
