Assembly track with main and auxiliary conveyors - has sliding thruster boom located on auxiliary boom extending over main boom

摘要

The assembly track comprises a main conveyor (10) for workpiece supports (WT), one or more auxiliary conveyors (15) at right angles to it, and a transfer station (16) for the supports between the two. The main conveyor extends into the station, while on the auxiliary one is a thruster (30) sliding in a guide (23). This has a boom (12) extending over the main conveyor in the end position, and from which there protrudes a driving dog (33) at right angles to the auxiliary conveyor. In the end position, the boom can form a stop for the supports transported by the main conveyor. ADVANTAGE - Great simplicity of transfer station.
