Abstract: A sorter system is configured to sort objects disposed on a conveying surface to a plurality of locations. The system includes a frame, a plurality of carriages each having a motor and a belt, a carriage power system, and a belt controller system. The carriage power system includes a plurality of circuit boards with first and second powerable strips. The belt controller system may cause the carriage power system to selectively power the first or second strips. The motors of carriages rolling along the strips may be powered to actuate the belt. The motors may actuate the belt in a first direction when the first strip is powered and actuate the belt in a second direction when the second strip is powered.

Abstract: A conveyor system is configured to prevent objects from getting caught or pinched between rollers and belts. The system includes a base, frames on opposite sides of the base, a plurality of rollers each having a bearing, an attachment axle, a drive shaft, a drive belt connecting the draft shaft to one of the bearings, and connecting belts connecting the bearings. The bearings may be disposed between the frames such that the drive belt and connecting belts are protected between the frames or may be disposed within the frames such that the drive belt and connecting belts are protected within the frame when a cover is attached to the frame.

Abstract: A cartridge bearing assembly for a roller conveyor system includes a housing having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A pair of bearings is spaced from each other and disposed in the housing. An shaft is received by the pair of bearings. The shaft is formed from a plastic material. A spring is disposed about a first portion of the shaft intermediate the pair of bearings. The spring biases the shaft outwardly from the first end of the housing.

Abstract: A conveyor system comprising a series of rollers coupled to a side of a frame and configured to convey a plurality of conveyed articles thereacross along a direction of travel. Each of the rollers has a drive end. The series of rollers including a directly driven roller and a plurality of slave driven rollers disposed after the directly driven roller with respect to the direction of travel. The conveyor system includes a plurality of sheaves. Each of the sheaves is coupled to a drive end of one of the rollers. Each of the sheaves includes a plurality of V-shaped grooves formed in an outer surface thereof. The grooves are divided into an inner portion and an outer portion. An outer diameter of the inner portion of each of the sheaves is unequal to an outer diameter of the outer portion of each of the sheaves.
