Abstract
An apparatus and a method of positioning pallets on roller chains mounted on a free flow conveyor is basically composed of a detector for detecting an oncoming pallet, a stopper for stopping the pallet at an approximately required position, a controller capable of positioning the pallet in the x- and y-directions, and another controller capable of positioning the pallet in the z-direction. With an application of the foregoing method proposed, a device is designed to provide a highly accurate positioning of the pallet with a single device and therefore contributes greatly to an economization of operating costs.
