A substrate-floatation-type laser processing apparatus and a method for measuring a floating height, capable of improving performance of laser processing are provided. A substrate-floatation-type laser processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a stage configured to float and convey a substrate, and a floating-height measurement apparatus configured to measure a floating height H of the substrate. Note that a distance between the floating-height measurement apparatus and the substrate can be automatically adjusted according to the measured floating height H. The floating height H of the substrate is measured by applying laser light to the substrate and the stage. The distance between the floating-height measurement apparatus and the substrate is adjusted by using a feedback mechanism in which the measured floating height of the substrate is used as an input.

A singulation device can singulate items. The items can be received onto a singulation conveyor. A portion of the items can be retained on the singulation conveyor by a retaining ledge. The portion of the items not retained on the singulation conveyor can fall onto a return conveyor. The singulation conveyor can transport the retained items along the length of the ledge. During conveyance, some of the items can fall off of the singulation conveyor onto the return conveyor.

A conveyorized industrial system includes at least one work station including a heated oven chamber. A fixed, non-powered rail defines a conveyor path including an oven zone in which the rail extends through or over the heated oven chamber. An automated conveyor carrier (ACC) is suspended from the rail by a self-driving trolley having an on-board motor for driving the ACC along the rail, and by at least one additional free-rolling trolley. The ACC further comprises an enclosure containing one or both of an inverter and a battery, the enclosure having a wall defining an interior space of the enclosure. A heat protection system is provided in addition to the wall, the heat protection system operating to limit an internal temperature of the enclosure during transport along the oven zone.

A conveyor system for conveying articles, which conveyor system includes a transport device for transporting articles along a predefined path. The transport device includes at least one running rail and at least one running carriage which is attachable to the running rail. The running carriage is configured to run in a conveying direction (F) along the running rail and to convey at least one article. The conveyor system furthermore includes a drivable carrier device which is arranged at least in regions along the running rail and is intended for carrying along the running carriage of the transport device. The carrier device includes at least one carrier element with a freely rotatable carrier roller, wherein the freely rotatable carrier roller can be brought into engagement (E) with the running carriage in order to carry along the running carriage along the running rail.

A conveyor system including a fixed, non-powered rail defining a conveyor path, and a plurality of automated conveyor carriers supported on the rail. Each carrier includes an on-board motor, at least one wheel forming an interface with the rail, and an on-board power source selectively powering the on-board motor to drive the ACC along the rail. Each of the plurality of carriers operates to power the on-board motor from the on-board power source under the direction of instructions programmed to a local controller. Each of the local controllers is programmed with an algorithm for independent wear monitoring of the at least one wheel and further programmed to take at least one responsive action based on an identification of the at least one wheel being worn.

A packaging transport device has a support unit (10) including a first support surface (12), which defines a first track section (11), and at least one second support surface (14), which defines a second track section (13) and is tilted relative to the first support surface (12) around a tilt axis (16) running in a transport direction (15), the packaging transport device further including a driving member (17) and drivers (18), which are connected with the driving member (17), and are supported movably around the tilt axis (16), wherein the driving member (17) is implemented by a belt.

A conveyor element for transporting goods with a hook element for suspension on a conveyor rail and a holder hanging on the hook element, on which holder one or more goods can be received, is formed in such a way that the hook element comprises a first hook and at least one second hook, between which at least one engagement opening is formed. This allows the conveyor element to be effectively conveyed and separated in a conveying direction along a conveyor rail via a pawl conveyor.
