Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the likelihood of an article becoming jammed in a conveyor system. The width of an article, like luggage, may be detected and the article rotated if the width is greater than a threshold value. A jammed article in the conveyance system may be detected, and repositioned by a positioner, to clear the jam. Spacing between articles in the conveyor system may also be controlled.

Abstract: A transport system for containers includes an infeed conveyor and an ouffeed conveyor at an angle to one another. A corner transfer unit is placed between the infeed and ouffeed conveyors and has a transfer conveyor extending in transport direction of the ouffeed conveyor and defining a transport plane which is lower than the transport plane of the infeed conveyor. An endless conveyor belt is disposed in an area of the transfer conveyor and is provided with a thickened area for compensating a distance between the transport planes of the infeed conveyor and the transfer conveyor to enable a movement of the container from the infeed conveyor onto the transfer conveyor as the container rests on the thickened area. Maintaining the container above the transport plane of the transfer conveyor as the container leaves the infeed conveyor is a support element to thereby lower the container to a level of the transport plane of the transfer conveyor, when the thickened area moves downwards in synchronism with a downward movement of the support element.

Abstract: A conveyor system, and method of controlling the conveyor system, includes providing a conveying surface, at least one motor propelling the conveying surface and a plurality of lower-level controllers. At least one of the lower-level controllers adapted to control the at least one motor. An upper-level controller is provided in communication with the plurality of lower-level controllers. The upper-level controller is adapted to send communications to the lower-level controllers for controlling the at least one motor. A communications bus is provided that carries the communications between the upper-level controller and the lower-level controllers. The upper-level controller is adapted to automatically assign each lower-level controller a unique communications address. The unique communications address enables the upper-level controller to send messages over the communications bus to individual ones of the lower-level controllers.
