  • Publication number: 20060045672
    Abstract: A track and carriage system that includes a pair of spaced apart parallel rails and a carriage rollingly mounted on the rails. The carriage is a rectangular, in plan view, structural unit having a pair of opposite parallel marginal edges with a frame side rail secured to each of the marginal edges. Rollers journalled on the side rails rollingly support the carriage on the rails. A motor mounting subassembly carried by the carriage provides a downwardly facing channel that receives therein a portion of one of the rails. A plurality of rollers on the motor mounting subassembly maintains a minium air gap between a linear motor mounted on the subassembly and a magnetic strip on an adjacently disposed side face of one of the rails. The carriage structural portion maybe a plurality of beams disposed side-by-side or one or more extruded monolithic cast structures. A structural plate like member maybe mounted on the load carrying frame.

  • Publication number: 20050281641
    Abstract: A warehousing system and apparatus for retrieving articles from a preselected storage area containing a quantity of the same and delivering them to a designated area spaced therefrom. A track extends a selected distance along a predetermined path that is offset a selected distance from the stored articles. A motorized carriage is rollingly mounted on the track and has a load carrying support surface thereon on which a payload is accumulated one article after another during the building of such load. A rigid superstructure is carried by the carriage and an extendible and retractable reach is mounted on thereon. A power operated article gripping assembly is carried by the reach for grasping articles one at a time in the storage area and loading them in sequence onto the carriage for delivery to the designated area.
