  • Publication number: 20100133069
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transport belt module with a body on which at least a deflecting roller and another deflecting element are rotatably mounted, around which a conveyor belt is guided, as well as drive means for driving at least the deflecting roller that is arranged in the body, whereby the module further comprises mechanical and electrical connection elements for connecting the module to a conveyor system or a production line, and also comprises at least a sensor, that is arranged under the conveyor belt so that the objects which are to be transported on the conveyor belt can be detected with the help of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 7024927
    Abstract: With the invention, a measuring device is proposed for the measurement of motor vehicle wheels (10) in which, with the aid of profiled measuring rolls (20), the different areas of the rim (11) can be measured. These measuring rolls (20) are arranged so they can be displaced in the X and Z directions on positioning and measuring sleds (40) designed as cross-sleds. The cross-sleds (40) are equipped with linear motors (41, 43), with which the positioning and pressing pressure of the measuring rolls can be varied and which, at the same time, detect the deviations occurring during the measurement. The measured data thus obtained are processed in a process computer.

  • Publication number: 20030140750
    Abstract: A device for trimming edges of belt materials containing inserts, especially nylon or steel corded belts, by cutting off an edge region of the belt material with a cutting device, which engages the belt material between the inserts, extending in the longitudinal direction (cutting direction) of the belt and is held in a seat, suspended so that it can swivel at a framework transversely to the conveying direction, corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the belt, of the belt material passed by it, wherein the axis of rotation of the swinging suspension is disposed at a carriage, which can be moved by a motor transversely to the plane of swiveling and a device is provided, which detects the deflection of the pendulum and, when a specified value is exceeded, causes the carriage to move in the direction of deflection.

  • Patent number: 5860509
    Abstract: A conveyor belt system for intermittently controllably transporting and arresting workpieces. The belt band of a conveyor belt runs between two upward facing shanks of an H-profile track. The conveyor belt is either actively or passively lowered in the area of the appropriate work station so that a workpiece carrier comes to rest on the U-shaped ends of a base support with positional exactness. During working on the workpiece, the belt band runs through underneath the workpiece carrier. The forces resulting from working on the piece are taken up by the two U-shaped ends of the base support. For the further transport of the workpiece carrier the belt band of the conveyor belt is again raised to contact the work piece carrier.

  • Patent number: 5617985
    Abstract: Apparatus for supporting strip material includes a discontinuous conveyor for discontinuously conveying a strip material and a continuous conveyor for continuously conveying the strip material. The strip material passes in a loop between the discontinuous conveyor and the continuous conveyor with the strip material loop varying in size as the discontinuous conveyor discontinuously conveys the strip material and the continuous conveyor continuously conveys the strip material. A conveyor belt mechanism disposed between the discontinuous conveyor and the continuous conveyor is operable to dispose a conveyor belt in a loop underlying the strip material loop.
