Abstract
A conveyor for ferrous workpieces includes a frame. A static bed is affixed to the frame. The static bed has a workpiece support portion constructed from a non-magnetic material. The workpiece support portion defines a workpiece flow path. A drive assembly is arranged beneath the workpiece support portion. The drive includes multiple discrete magnets configured to move in a direction of the workpiece flow path. At least one guide rail extends upward with respect to the workpiece support portion on a side opposite the drive assembly. The guide rail is configured to orient a workpiece to a desired position with respect to the workpiece flow path.
