GUIDE STRUCTURE FOR LIFT AND CARRY CONVEYOR

摘要

An improvement in lift and carry conveyor systems includes the use of fixed guide rails which guide lower portions of a part as the part moves between sequential conveyor sections. The guide rails ensure that the part continues to be properly guided as it moves between the sequential stations, or between a workstation and a conveyor section. Further, the lift members are formed of aluminum extrusions and have plastic inserts.
