Abstract
The invention pertains to a conveyor with profiled cheeks consisting of at least one profiled member that is manufactured from light metal and contains longitudinal hollow spaces that are partly realized in the form of sliding block channels, and of a cover for closing a cable channel arranged in the cheek. The invention proposes that the profiled member has an L-shaped base cross section with an upper limb that points outward in the operative position, that a sheet metal member is mounted on the base part in order to form the lower limb of the C-shaped base cross section of the cheek, wherein the sheet metal member contains openings that are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction, and that the cover is removably arranged on the two limbs. Cables and lines can lead into and out of the closed cable channel through the openings without having to produce openings on the profiled member or the cover by way of mechanical processing. A two-part cable channel is formed by the upper limb of the C-shaped sheet metal member used.
