Conveyor has common shaft separately coupled to traction elements to move thrust elements to predefined initial position, linear drive with stroke corresp. to desired object displacement

摘要

The device has a number of thrust elements (42) for acquiring the objects on their lower rear edges relative to the direction of motion. An endless traction element arrangement for moving the thrust elements can be driven by a common shaft (30) separately coupled to the traction elements (32) for moving the thrust elements to a predefined initial position. The traction elements can be decoupled from the shaft with the thrust elements in the initial position and can be coupled to a linear drive (48,50) whose stroke corresp. to the desired object displacement.
