AFS Pallet accumulating conveyor system System APM AFS - APM Conveying System 1

AFS Accumulationg Conveyor Overview Centre profile for integration of the drive chain Drive station Robust side profiles for a stable self-supporting construction with integrated pallet guide Reversing station Pallet in modular aluminium design AFS - APM Conveying System 2

Construction of pallet Plastic roller with concave running surface Dual friction sprocket Steel tube guide rail flush-mounted into the profile Modular pallet construction in aluminium screwfitted design AFS - APM Conveying System 3

Pallet transportation with positive fit during directional change • Through spring-supported pins, the pallet is conveyed by the driving sprocket and changes direction with positive fit • Situation of pallet shortly before it engages into the driving sprocket AFS - APM Conveying System 4

Detail: Isolation of pallets Synchronised rockers with one stopping and one isolating roller each AFS - APM Conveying System 5

Detail: Geared motor with overload switch • If the predefined load torque is exceeded, e.g. due to pallet crash etc., the drive unit is switched off Overload switch AFS - APM Conveying System 6

Realisation of special lengths > 20 m • Connection of individual segments through synchronous operation AFS - APM Conveying System 7

Option: Automated component unloading / Transmittor AFS - APM Conveying System 8
