ACCUMULATION TABLE COMPRISING TWO TRANSPORT SURFACES DRAWN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AND INDEPENDENT TRANSFER MEANS

摘要

The accumulation table (1) comprises at least a first (110) and a second (120) movable conveying surface, first drive means (121, 131) having at least one motor (M2, M3), and for driving the transport surfaces (110; 120) in opposite directions (D1; D2) and with an adjustable speed differential, transfer means (14) movable relative to the first and second transport surfaces and for transferring articles from one transport surface (110) to the other (120), and second drive means for moving said transfer means (14) in the directions (D1; D2) of moving the transport surfaces (110; 120). The second drive means (141) comprise a motor (M4) which is independent of the motor (M2; M3) of the first drive means, and allows the transfer means (14) to be moved independently, if necessary. differential speed between the two transport surfaces (110; 120).
