Disclosed is a method for addressing/sequencing at least one control component (170 . . . 177) of a group comprising multiple control components (170 . . . 177) of a conveying system (1), said components being linearly interlinked via a daisy-chain selection line (23). The addressing process starts at any point in the chain and continues to the end of the respective branch of said chain. Subsequently, in one of the two branches the numbering of the control components (170 . . . 177) is reversed. Also disclosed is a conveying system (1) on which said method can be carried out.

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.

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.

A spiral conveyor system is provided to transport a plurality of articles thereon between at least one first level and at least one second level. The spiral conveyor system includes a conveyor assembly having more than one spiral conveyor. Each spiral conveyor defines a conveying surface for transporting the plurality of articles thereon. Each spiral conveyor is coupled with a support in a helical configuration such that each spiral conveyor is interleaved in an alternating configuration with another spiral conveyor about the support. Each conveying surface can selectively move in an inclining direction and in a declining direction such that the conveying surfaces can be moved simultaneously in the same or opposing directions.

A skate wheel conveyor system includes a pair of frame sides of a frame assembly. A plurality of preassembled rollers is received between the pair of frame members. Each of the rollers includes a plurality of wheels interposed between a plurality of spacers and a shaft receiving the plurality of wheels and the plurality of spacers. A quick assembly system retains the rollers between the pair of frame members and minimizing deflections of the preassembled rollers.
