Abstract
An arrangement and a method for guide rail adjustment on a conveyor, the arrangement comprising a set of guide rails, a set of mounting elements, which each support at least one moveably suspended guide rail, and means for simultaneous individual adjustment of said set of mounting elements, the means permitting simultaneous adjustment of the position of the guide rails moveably supported by the mounting elements.
Claims14
An arrangement for guide rail adjustment on a conveyor, the arrangement comprising;
- a set of guide rails,
- a set of mounting elements, which each support at least one moveably suspended guide rail, and
- means for simultaneous individual adjustment of said set of mounting elements, the means permitting simultaneous adjustment of the position of the guide rails moveably supported by the mounting elements, wherein said means for simultaneous adjustment of said set of mounting elements comprises a set of synchronous or stepping motors, which are fed from a common voltage source.
A method for guide rail adjustment in an arrangement for guide rail adjustment on a conveyor, the arrangement comprising a set of guide rails, a set of mounting elements, which each support at least one moveably suspended guide rail, and means for simultaneous individual adjustment of said set of mounting elements, the means permitting simultaneous adjustment of the position of the guide rails moveably supported by the mounting elements, in which said means for simultaneous adjustment of said set of mounting elements comprises a set of synchronous or stepping motors, which are fed from a common voltage source, the method comprises applying a feed voltage to all synchronous or stepping motors in said set of synchronous or stepping motors, the moveable guide rails being moved simultaneously at a common speed.
A conveyor guide rail, comprising:
- a set of guide rails,
- mounting elements to moveably support the set of guide rails, and
- an adjuster comprising a set of motors, which are fed from a common voltage source, operably connected to the mounting elements, and selected from a group consisting of a synchronous motor and a stepping motor, the adjuster to permit simultaneous adjustment of a position of the guide rails moveably supported by the mounting elements.
