Abstract
A conveyor system having a frame with a first and second elongated rail which are spaced apart and parallel to each other. A plurality of first power and free rollers are rotatably mounted to the first rail while, similarly, a plurality of power and free rollers are rotatably mounted to the second rail so that the first rollers define a first conveyor line while the second rollers define a second conveyor line. At least one pallet which supports a work piece has a lower surface which is adapted to be supported and propelled by even the first or second rollers along the first or second conveyor line. A turn table is provided at one end of the first and second conveyor lines for transferring the pallet from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line. The turn table includes at least one conveyor line section and a motor for rotating the turn table between the first position in which the conveyor line section is in line with the first conveyor line, and the second position is which the conveyor line section is in line with the second conveyor line.
