Abstract: An apparatus vertically realigns pallets in a stack of pallets. The apparatus has left and right panels with upper portions that are angled outwardly, and lower portions that are substantially vertical. Misaligned pallets in a stack placed in the apparatus engage the upper portions of the panels and are moved toward vertical alignment as the stack is lowered into the apparatus. The apparatus also includes compression plates that are movable between first and second positions relative to the apparatus. In the first positions, the compression plates have surfaces that angle toward each other and engage with misaligned pallets in the stack of pallets as the stack is moved from the apparatus toward a pallet dispenser. In the second position, the compression plates pivot toward the rear of the stack of pallets exiting the apparatus and push the stack into the pallet dispenser, thereby achieving additional vertical alignment of the stack.

Abstract: System providing a substantially enclosed piece or pieces of equipment, optionally fuel cell balance of plant equipment, available for shipment and storage at a user location. The system comprises a tool, a housing associated with the tool and having openings in the flooring through which portions of the tool are inserted, and a piece or pieces of equipment having a support, the tool accommodating movement of the support, and specifically on portions of the tool inserted through the housing. Movement of the equipment occurs along the longitudinal axis of the tool between points positioned inside and outside of the housing. The tool is removed from the housing after the equipment is positioned inside thereof so that as a consequence of such removal, the support of the equipment assists in substantially sealing the housing.

Abstract: A modular friction drive system and method for use with a palletized conveyor. The drive system includes drive assemblies located at opposite sides of both a load end and unload end of the palletized conveyor. Each drive assembly comprises at least one drive unit and at least one take-up unit, which are connected by a drive belt. One or more idler units may reside between the drive unit(s) and take-up unit(s). Each drive assembly is provided with an actuating means for pressing the drive belt tightly against the side walls of associated conveyor pallets. Each of the drive unit, take-up unit, and idler unit is preferably modular in nature and can, therefore, be added to or removed from a drive assembly independently of the other unit(s).

Abstract: A friction conveyor system comprises a conveyor means (10) including a plurality of conveyor elements (16,18) arranged transverse to the conveying direction (12). The conveyor elements (16,18) are partly driven and partly arranged for free rotation. A workpiece carrier (30) can be loosely placed on the conveyor means (10). For conveying the workpiece carriers (30), use is made of disk-shaped transmission elements (26) connected to the driven conveyor elements (18). The transmission elements (26) are in contact with a friction element (38). The friction elements (38) are connected to an actuation element (46). By actuation of the actuation element (46), the friction element (38) is moved into disengaged position in which the transmission elements (26) are not engaged with the friction elements (38) anymore.

Abstract: Configurable modular chain pallet transport systems are described. The systems primarily include a roller chain having link pins that are extended out on both sides to enable pucks to be simply pushed on the chain sides, i.e., between or over the pins. The pucks are designed to be slightly taller than the chain link heights (i.e., tall enough to allow long term wear and ensure that nothing but the drive and take-up sprocket's teeth ever touches the steel chain's rollers and links), wherein the chain is sandwiched between the pucks, and also suspended (i.e., centered height-wise) by the pucks. The transport systems also provide simplified pallet redirection operations, or combinations of redirection and reorientation of pallets. With respect to pallet redirection/radial reorientation scenarios, there are four primary equipment set-ups, each being comprised of simple, statically mounted tooling at the angular intersections of the various conveyor modules of the transport systems.

Abstract translation: 描述可配置的模块化链板托盘运输系统。 这些系统主要包括一个滚子链，其具有在两侧延伸的连接销，以使得能够简单地将链球推到链条侧上，即在销之间或之上。 冰球被设计为比链节高度略高（即，足够高以允许长期磨损，并且确保只有驱动和吸收链轮的齿接触到钢链的滚子和链节），其中链条 夹在冰球之间，并且也被冰球悬挂（即，高度居中）。 运输系统还提供简化的托盘重定向操作，或托盘重定向和重新定向的组合。 对于托盘重定向/径向重新定位情况，有四个主要设备设置，每个设备由传送系统的各个传送器模块的角交叉处的简单静态安装的工具组成。

Abstract: A magnetic centerguide for a grid structured for travel along the path of a conveyor. The grid defines a support surface that supports a pan. The guide generally comprises a magnet-carrying guide member mounted to the grid, normally but not necessarily on the grid centerline, and adjustable in a vertical direction relative to the support surface. The guide functions with numerous types of pans having different configurations of dough-carrying pockets and inter-pocket gaps. The guide member automatically adjusts its vertical position to contact the underside of the pan under a pocket or in an inter-pocket gap.
