Embodiments provide an electric lug loader system. An electric lug loader may include a shaft assembly rotatably mounted to a frame that extends across a flow path. The shaft assembly may have shafts arranged radially around, and parallel to, the rotational axis of the shaft assembly, clamp members arranged along each of the shafts, support members arranged radially around the rotational axis and across the flow path, and electric drives coupled to the shafts. Conveyors may be coupled with the frame and spaced apart across the flow path upstream and/or downstream of the shaft assembly. Additional drives may be coupled with the shaft assembly and the conveyors. A controller may be configured to synchronize the drives to engage successive workpieces between the clamp members and the support members and deposit the workpieces onto a lugged conveyor. Other embodiments provide related methods and systems.

A conveyor system for translating objects is disclosed, each object with vertical protrusions extending upward and/or downward from one or more sides of the object. The conveyor system can accommodate structural members such as roof truss members, on which connector plates are affixed and from which the connector plates protrude vertically up, down, or both. The conveyor system may have a slide or some other support for the objects. The slide or other support may be narrow. The slide or other support can be tall, relative to an object. The conveyor system may have an engagement tool driven by an overhead carriage to translate the objects along the slide or other support. The engagement tool may be narrow. The engagement tool can be tall, relative to an object.

An automated multi-dispenser and multi-replenisher of products for concurrent loading and unloading of products that simplifies existing systems, consisting of an elongated structure (1) which supports several central shelving units (2) with a set of inclined shelves (3) arranged at different heights one below the other and one next to the other, comprising a plurality of horizontal shelves (5) at each longitudinal side of the elongated structure (1); at least one rear loading subsystem in the form of a cart (6), which travels over these lateral shelving units (4) in order to leave the products on the highest section of the inclined shelves (3); at least one front unloading subsystem in the form of a cart (7), which collects the products from the lowest section of the inclined shelves (3), where the carts (6) and (7) also cover a plurality of inclined channels (8) including a support (9).

A packaged integrated circuit transfer track with a stopper arm that is constrained to vertical motion. A packaged integrated circuit transfer track with a cam follower that engages a cam causing a stopper arm to raise or lower vertically. A packaged integrated circuit transfer track with an actuator that engages a switch causing a motor or solenoid to raise or lower the stopper arm vertically.

An apparatus is provided to correct an orientation of a product conveying within a plurality of products on a conveyor along a conveying direction. The apparatus may be adapted to lift or rotate improperly oriented products in a response to a signal from a sensor. The apparatus may include one or two devices with an arm attached to an actuator and a product clamp. The apparatus may be also adapted to classify and remove uncompliant products from a conveyor line with one or more sensors and additional actuated devices positioned along a conveyor. The apparatus may be also adapted with a movable rail to adjust a working width of the conveyor.
