    摘要: A floor-bound continuous conveyor for intralogistics includes at least one frame and at least one load-carrying means which has a conveying plane for piece goods and which is configured to transport the piece goods in a conveying direction. A stop means is configured to stop an item of piece goods transported on the conveying plane in the conveying direction at a predetermined position on the load-carrying means. A movement apparatus is designed to move the item of piece goods resting against the stop means on the conveying plane from the starting position and orientation thereof standing on the conveying plane of the load handling device into an end position and orientation deviating from the starting position and orientation on the load-carrying means out of the conveying plane of the load-carrying means into the end position and orientation.

    摘要: A caster wheel alignment system for selectively re-orienting improperly oriented caster wheels for transport vehicles of a conveyor system, such as a circular sorter. The alignment system includes a main support frame couplable with the conveyor at a drive track of the conveyor. The system includes a horizontal cam for adjusting an orientation of the caster wheel from a leading orientation to a trailing orientation. In some forms, the alignment system may include a bypass system, such as a float frame, supporting the horizontal cam, and a vertical cam. The vertical cam provided to temporarily move the float frame and horizontal cam away from the transport vehicle and/or drive track to permit the vehicle to move through the alignment system. The vertical and horizontal cams coordinate to intercept and correct improperly oriented wheels without significantly impeding the movement of the transport vehicle along the drive track.

    摘要: A caster roller assembly may comprise a base, a roller rotationally coupled to the base, and a thrust bearing assembly adjacent to an underside surface of the base. The thrust bearing assembly may include a bearing cup, a plurality of thrust rollers located in a channel defined by the bearing cup, and a top plate located between plurality of thrust rollers and the base. An inner circumferential surface of the top plate may define an opening configured to receive a protrusion extending from the underside surface of the base.

    摘要: A machine for assembling rebar cages includes a support frame, axial rollers mounted to the support frame for rotatably supporting a cylindrical wire cage for axial rotation about an axis of elongation, a carriage movably mounted to the support frame for translation, with the carriage adapted for driving an elongate rebar rod in a first axial direction. A drive mechanism is mounted to the support frame for driving the carriage in translation back and forth between a retracted position and an extended position for driving rebar rods into the rebar cages for assembly.

    摘要: A finger guard member includes: a first surface disposed between one end of a roller and a belt wound around the one end; a second surface in which a notch having a width larger than a shaft diameter of a fixed shaft of the roller is formed with respect to the fixed shaft positioned outside the one end in a longitudinal direction of the roller; and a positioning part disposed inside the notch. When the fixed shaft has a first shaft diameter, the finger guard member is positioned by the positioning part being supported by a peripheral surface of the fixed shaft. When the fixed shaft has a second shaft diameter greater than the first shaft diameter, the finger guard member is positioned by an edge of the notch being supported by the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft with the positioning part being not present on the second surface.

    摘要: A conveyor roller turn for establishing a curved path for a conveyor chain includes a frame supporting a rail defining a curved conveyor path, and a roller body supported rotatably on the frame along the curved conveyor path. The roller body has an outside surface positioned to provide horizontal support to the conveyor drive chain. At least one bearing supports the roller body on the frame, the at least one bearing including: a plurality of ceramic rolling elements, an inner race supporting the plurality of ceramic rolling elements on a radial inner side of the bearing, an outer race supporting the plurality of ceramic rolling elements on a radial outer side of the bearing, and tungsten disulfide dry film lubricant on the ceramic rolling elements.

    摘要: A conveyor is described. The conveyor includes: a conveyor frame having a sidewall and a roller. In some examples, the roller can be mounted on the conveyor frame so that a first portion of the roller extends beyond the sidewall of the conveyor frame. In this regard, the first portion of the roller is the portion that includes a bearing assembly of the roller and the sidewall is that portion of the conveyor frame that guards a conveying surface of the conveyor. The conveyor also includes a strip belt-mounted over a second portion of the roller. The second portion is a portion of the roller that is defined adjacent to the first portion of the roller. In some examples, the strip belt is mounted over the roller so that the strip belt is positioned adjacent to the sidewall on the conveyor.

    摘要: The present invention provides an improved conveyor system that provides for a magnetically driven conveyor system in which a sidewall of the conveyor may have minimal or no perforations therein for connecting rollers or other conveying structures in the conveyor bed to an external driving mechanism. The conveyor system may also provide gapless or nearly gapless roller bed that prevents or reduces the accumulation of debris and contaminants in and between the hardware of the conveyor bed. The system of the present invention may provide a more efficient and sanitary conveyor system for produce washing or other food processing application that requires less maintenance.
