摘要 |
A transfer assembly for a conveyor system includes a frame, a plurality of rollers mounted to the frame, a plurality of grooved transfer sheaves supported by the frame, and an actuator which selectively moves a group of the transfer conveyors between a retracted position and an extended position such that the transfer belt which is carried by the transfer sheaves is moved between a position below the conveying surface to a position above the conveying surface for lifting an article being conveyed on the rollers and transferring the article in a transfer direction. At least one of the transfer belt and the transfer sheaves are adapted to resist rolling of the transfer belt in the transfer sheaves when the transfer belt is subject to a lateral force from the article being transferred. |
