A placement body on which an article is placed is driven by a transfer drive mechanism to transfer the article. The transfer drive mechanism includes a transfer drive source and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes an output member coupled to an output shaft of the transfer drive source and a driven member that is not coupled to the output member and operates by being pressed by the output member. A wheel drive source, the transfer drive source, and the output member are supported by a vehicle body frame, and the placement body and the driven member are supported by a vehicle body cover. The vehicle body cover covers the wheel drive source and the transfer drive source and is detachably attached to the vehicle body frame.

Provided is a foundry sand supply device capable of collecting foundry sand at an arbitrary timing. The foundry sand supply device includes a bucket collecting the foundry sand, a bucket drive unit rotatably supporting the bucket and driving the bucket, and a moving unit moving the bucket drive unit close to and away from the foundry sand, and moving the bucket drive unit between a collecting position to collect the foundry sand and a supply position to supply the foundry sand.

A handling system in a machine for processing containers, including a plurality of support plates circulating in a closed circuit, each support plate including one or more housings, each housing being able to hold a container, a first portion, in which the support plates circulate in a horizontal position along a first axial direction, a second portion, known as the return portion, with a second moving member configured to move the support plates in an opposite second axial direction X1B, the support plates circulating in the second portion in a vertical return orientation, the handling system including a holding pallet to selectively either unload the support plates from the second portion onto the holding pallet or for loading the support plates from the holding pallet into the second portion.

An accumulator has a control system for controlling motion of a plurality of buckets on a continuous loop and logs traversing on a log transfer device. The log transfer device delivers a log from an entrance of the log transfer device to a bucket infeed on the accumulator. The bucket infeed receives a log from the log transfer device and allows a bucket to receive the log from the log transfer device. A time for the log to move from the entrance of the log transfer device to the bucket infeed is determined. Based on the time for the log to move from the entrance of the log transfer device to the bucket infeed, the control system controls the accumulator drive to move the continuous loop such that a bucket in the plurality of buckets is positioned at the bucket infeed with sufficient time to allow the bucket to receive the log from the log transfer device.

The invention relates to a linear motor system, in particular a transport system, e.g. a multicarrier, having at least one carrier, having a guide track for the carrier, having a guide rail arranged at the guide track, and having a guide element arranged at the carrier, wherein the guide rail and the guide element cooperate to guide the carrier at the guide track, wherein a magnet is provided at the carrier and a magnet is provided at the guide track for driving the carrier along the guide track and/or for holding the carrier at the guide track, wherein a y direction extends in parallel with a spacing between the magnets, wherein the guide track comprises a contact surface which the guide rail contacts, and wherein a normal of the contact surface extends with at least one component in parallel with the y direction.
