The FATA conveyor is realized on extremely simple operating principles using only one source energy (electromechanical functioning); the number of parts used for disengagement is reduced to a minimum and consists of only rotation around fixed pin; transfer from one chain to another is in most cases performed by the chains of the conveyor and therefore without the use of complex transfer devices. The following operations can be performed by a power and free conveyor: The disengagement of a carrier from the power chain is generally effected by means of a station stop generally located on the P+F line where a carrier must be stopped (e.g. convergence of two lines, transfer from one line to another, stopping of the first carrier of an accumulation line). The stopping of several carriers in succession is based on the patented FATA principle whereby the leading trolley of a carrier comes in contact 'with the disengaging device of the trailing trolley of the preceding carrier. As long as the trailing trolley remains in contact with the leading trolley of the following carrier it cannot be dragged away by the chain pusher. |
