<p>A pallet (19) of vertically stacked conveyor sections (15-17) utilizes translating cords (23) which may be juxtaposed between translating cords (22) on a workstation (18). The pallet is disposed on a standard lift table (34) so as to vertically align one of the conveyor sections (16) with the similar cords (22) of a workstation (20). Additional cords (51) may be disposed in alignment with the cords (23) of the conveyor sections (15-17) so as to fill the interstices between the juxtaposed cords (50) of the workstation. Grooved drums (28-31, 54) may be used in place of idler pulleys. A live center (66-68) may ensure proper alignment of a cluth gear (73) so as to drive the conveyor section cords on the pallet through a driven gear (71). The cords may be supported by flat shelves (117-119) having teflon®-coated fiberglass surfaces.</p> |
