A steel belt conveying apparatus includes upper and lower horizontal conveying portions, left and right inclined conveying chains, a connecting rod frame, an inclined frame, a drive portion, and a height adjustment cylinder. The left inclined conveying chain is separately connected to the upper and lower horizontal conveying portions. The right inclined conveying chain is separately connected to the upper and lower horizontal conveying portions. A top portion of the connecting rod frame is hingedly connected to an upper horizontal frame of the upper horizontal conveying portion. A bottom portion is hingedly connected to a lower frame of the lower horizontal conveying portion. A top portion of the inclined frame is hingedly connected to an upper horizontal drive shaft of the upper horizontal conveying portion, and a bottom portion is hingedly connected to a lower horizontal drive shaft of the lower horizontal conveying portion.

An assembly system includes a positioning unit adapted to clamp and position a cable, a supply unit adapted to supply a connector, and an insertion unit adapted to insert an end of the cable into the connector by moving the connector. The supply unit includes a conveyor belt having a side to which ends of a plurality of connectors in a row of connectors are connected, a cutting device configured to cut each connector of the row of connectors from the conveyor belt, and a conveyor configured to move the conveyor belt, so as to move the connectors individually to the cutting device.

A combine feeder assembly having conveyors and slats pivotally connected to the conveyors to rotate about respective slat pivot axes. Each slat has a paddle that is movable between a first position in which the paddle extends outside the travel path of the conveyor by a first distance, and a second position in which the paddle does not extend outside the travel path or extends outside the travel path by a second distance that is less than the first distance. A cam surface moves the slats to the first slat position along a delivery path of the conveyors. A first housing wall extends over the delivery path and is spaced from the travel path by at least the first distance. A second housing wall extends over a return path. The second housing wall is spaced from the travel path by less than the first distance.

An apparatus for making and/or treating a sheet made of material including vegetable and/or alkaloid substances. The apparatus includes a heating unit, a cooling unit, and a collecting unit arranged in this order along an advancement direction of the sheet. Specifically, the cooling unit can receive the sheet in a cooling space and herein to cool it by forced gas cooling which can provide a first forced cooling gas flow and a second forced cooling gas flow at the cooling space, and operatively direct each forced cooling gas flow on at least a portion of a respective face of the sheet.

A conveyor belt condition monitoring apparatus is U-shaped, with two parallel arms arranged to extend across a conveyor belt from the side. The arms include ultrasonic sensors arranged to measure the distance to respective surfaces of the conveyor belt. One arm includes an eddy-current sensor arranged to measure the distance to a metallic core of the belt. The apparatus is arranged to be moved across the belt to provide a profile of belt condition across the width of the belt.
