An aligning and feeding device which accommodates a component including a pair of rectangular end surfaces oppositely facing each other and having a longitudinal direction extending between the end surfaces of the component in a cavity formed in an accommodating member. The component is accommodated in the cavity by aligning a direction of the component such that the longitudinal direction of the component extends parallel to a main surface of the accommodating member.

A conveyance apparatus which can suppress the occurrence of a defect on a work caused due to the entrance of a corner portion of the work into a hole portion formed on a conveyance surface of a base.

A system, and associated method, for launching and delivering separated food product in organized groups to a robotized packaging station for the product. The system initiates the delivery via a metered hopper of food product delivering the product to a launch V-belt that aligns the product end to end. A successive singulator belt, positioned adjacent to and receiving product from the launch belt, further organizes the product into a single file alignment. An optional separator belt may follow the singulator belt to create gaps between successive product units. The product is then delivered to a pick belt for product to be provided to the packaging robot. The system product information is from a single (per product delivery line) sensor, enabling intergrated end-to-end control from hopper to robot, and a nearly continuous motion of said pick belt.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gear shaft box processing, and discloses a stable gear shaft box processing and positioning apparatus, including a frame. The frame is provided with a first conveying belt and a second conveying belt. The first conveying belt is provided with a material transfer plate, the material transfer plate is provided with a limiting slot, and a component to be assembled is arranged at the limiting slot. In the present disclosure, the material transfer plate, a first connecting seat and a second connecting seat are arranged to transport materials. In this technical solution, in the early stage of assembly, the transportation of the component to be assembled is completed together by the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt.

A transfer device includes an extendable transfer platform. The transfer platform includes a fixed plate, a moveable plate, and at least one platform actuator configured to selectively move the moveable plate relative to the fixed plate between a retracted position and an extended position in which a leading edge of the moveable plate is located distally from a leading edge of the fixed plate. The transfer platform also includes a transfer belt having a first end secured to a first driven roller, and a second end secured to a second driven roller. The transfer device also includes a platform support structure secured to the transfer platform for supporting the transfer platform above a floor surface. The platform support structure includes at least one support actuator configured to selectively move the transfer platform relative to the floor surface between a lowered position and a raised position.

An orientation adjustment conveyor is configured to cause conveyance speeds of a first conveyor part and a second conveyor part to be different from each other. The first conveyor part has a conveyance surface that is inclined in a conveyance width direction to a lower side in a vertical direction on a second conveyance width direction side at a first end portion and has an inclination angle with respect to a horizontal plane in the conveyance width direction, which inclination angle gradually decreases toward a second end portion. The second conveyor part has a conveyance surface that is inclined in the conveyance width direction to the lower side in the vertical direction on a first conveyance width direction side at a first end portion and has an inclination angle with respect to the horizontal plane in the conveyance width direction, which inclination angle gradually decreases toward a second end portion.

A control device (50) changes a speed difference (Su) in accordance with the degree of a pre-adjustment orientation difference (Su) as a difference between an upstream actual orientation (Su) detected by an upstream orientation detection device (30u) and an intended orientation (Sr), and increases the speed difference (Su) as a characteristic value (H) indicative of a degree of difficulty of an orientation change which difficulty corresponds to a characteristic of a conveyance target (11) determined by a characteristic determination device (40) in orientation adjustment control for controlling a speed difference between a conveyance speed (V1) of a first conveyor part (21) and a conveyance speed (V2) of a second conveyor part (22) that are disposed in parallel to change the orientation of the conveyance target (11).
