Abstract: A junction conveyor is disclosed. The junction conveyor includes a stationary end and a switching end. A stationary assembly is disposed at the stationary end and a switching conveyor assembly disposed at the switching end. The junction conveyor includes a counter conveyor assembly between the stationary and switching conveyor assemblies. The junction conveyor includes a counter movement unit. The counter movement unit causes the counter conveyor assembly to move in an opposite direction as the switching conveyor assembly during switching from a home position to a switch position.

Abstract: A diverter assembly for handling articles transported on a conveying surface is disclosed. The diverter assembly includes at least one diverter arm and a motor coupled to a drive arrangement for swinging the diverter arm over the conveying surface. An inverter controller is provided for operating the motor at a plurality of speeds. A sensor arrangement is coupled to the inverter controller for monitoring the position of the diverter arm. The sensor arrangement sends a slow-down signal to the inverter controller when the diverter arm reaches a pre-determined position, causing the inverter controller to operate the motor at a slower speed.
