Lowerator Having An Actuator Capable Of Combined Latch Actuation And Carrier Movement

View page
US Patent:
6419071, Jul 16, 2002
Filed:
Sep 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/407318
Inventors:
Keith A. Oldford - Farmington Hills MI
Michael R. Dugas - Brighton MI
Velibor Kilibarda - Farmington Hills MI
Alan S. Kaufman - White Lake Township MI
Assignee:
Progressive Tool Industries Co. - Southfield MI
International Classification:
B65G 4724
US Classification:
1983453, 1983463, 19834101, 1983452
Abstract:
A lowerator for an assembly system of the type including at least one rail defining a path of travel with respect to at least one workstation, and a conveyor for transporting a work piece along the rail. The conveyor includes a trolley moveable along the rail and a carrier moveable with respect to the trolley. The carrier supports a work piece during movement with respect to the workstation. The carrier is vertically positionable between a raised position and lowered position with respect to the trolley. The lowerator moves the carrier between the raised and lowered positions and cycles a latch for securing the carrier to the trolley when in the raised position. The lowerator includes at least one lifter or actuator defining a path of travel in at least a first direction, wherein the lifter actuates the latch to uncouple the trolley and carrier before moving the carrier into the lowered position at the workstation so that one or more processing operations can be performed on the work piece.

US Patent:
53952057, Mar 7, 1995
Filed:
Aug 26, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/112679
Inventors:
Michael R. Dugas - Brighton MI
Patric J. Kenny - Framington Hills MI
Keith A. Oldford - Howell MI
Assignee:
Progressive Tool & Industries - Southfiled MI
International Classification:
B66C 2300
B25J 502
US Classification:
414728
Abstract:
A part loading apparatus is disclosed for transporting a workpiece from a first position generally in a first plane to a second position generally in a second plane for transfer to another work station. The part loading apparatus includes a rail for transporting the workpiece between the first and second positions. A shuttle is disposed on the rail for reciprocally moving between the first and second positions. A drive motor is provided for harmonically driving the shuttle between the first and second positions, wherein the shuttle decelerates when approaching the first and second positions, and accelerates when leaving the first and second positions. A frame carries the workpiece from the first position to the second position and is supported on the shuttle for pivotal movement from the first plane to the second plane while the shuttle moves between the first and second positions.
