An overhead type transport apparatus includes: a guide rail that includes a main rail and one or more sub rails crossing the main rail and is fixed to a ceiling side; two or more transport units that travel along the guide rail; a carrier unit that is coupled to the bottom of each transport unit and rotates about a carrier rotating unit, one end being inclined upward or downward with respect to the other end; and a basket unit that is attached to and detached from the bottom of each carrier unit.

A wear strip for a conveyor having a frame with frame spacers is provided. There are two frame spacers at one end of the frame, each having at least one lock. The lock has a riser and a head, wherein the head is wider than the riser forming a generally but not limited to T-shaped profile. A wear strip having a hole with an upper cavity and a lower passage having a wide gap and narrow gap is provided. The wear strip can be secured by the lock. This is accomplished by mounting the wear strip on the frame spacers so that the head of the lock projects into the upper cavity of the wear strip. Then, the wear strip is longitudinally moved so that the riser enters the narrow gap in the wear strip. Longitudinal wear strips can be inserted that longitudinally lock the wear strips in place.

An apparatus and method of conveying parts underneath an array of inkjet printheads in such a way as to minimize print defects caused by variation in motion. The conveyor is composed of a series of rigid conveyor track segments that are forced to move in a precise straight line due to a combination of accurate ball bearing wheel assemblies and precision machine guideways that are incorporated into the conveying system.

A link conveyor for an assembly machine and methods for chordal compensation in a link conveyor, may include a first upper chordal compensation cam in the upper rail assembly at the first end of the frame to deflect the chain by a first upper variable deflection amount; a first lower chordal compensation cam in the lower rail assembly at the first end of the frame to deflect the chain by a first lower variable deflection amount; and configuring the first upper variable deflection amount and the first lower variable deflection amount to reduce deviation between a first velocity of the chain at the first end of the frame and a second velocity of the chain at the second end of the frame.

A connection adapter for a connection of profile segments of a rail profile in a conveying device for conveying hanging objects. The connection adapter has, on its inside, a running surface for the mounting of holding adapters mounted such as on rollers, where the running surface is disposed in an inclined manner with respect to a profile extension direction of the connection adapter in such a way that a cross-section of an inner space of the connection adapter, which is defined by the running surface, is larger at a first end face of the connection adapter than at a second end face of the connection adapter.
