The Bolted and Enclosed-Track Overhead Advantage

摘要

The overhead conveyor industry has come a long way since a young engineer by the name of Jervis B. Webb teamed up with a 20th century manufacturing revolutionary named Henry T. Ford. Images of the Charlie Chaplin movie short on the assembly line come to mind, which was avante garde at the time. Industrial engineering profoundly changed during this period of time. The I-beam overhead conveyor was conceived and developed to set up an assembly line into a synchronous single line layout of progressive tasks.
