Abstract
A feed chain conveyor includes a plurality of slats having rollers on opposite ends of adjacent slats that ride on guide rails of a conveyor to deliver workpieces in a linear manner while reducing friction. The roller and guide rail arrangement ensures that workpieces are accurately delivered to a processing station. The guide rails are connected with upper sides of the conveyor frame and extend parallel to the direction of delivery of the workpieces. The rollers are configured to interact with the guide rails to allow movement of the feed chain in the delivery direction with only limited displacement in a direction orthogonal to the delivery direction.
