Lifting and weighing tote boxes on conveyor - using jack operated table controlled from foot switch which also controls conveyor operation

摘要

Tote boxes on a conveyor are weighed at an operator controlled weighing station located between two sections of a conveyor. The weighing station comprises a support on which a table articulates on an axis. The table is operated by a jack articulated on the support by an axis and under the table by another axis. This assembly is mated with a weighing table by locking of a screw. A foot pedal operates a relay and distribution assembly to start the conveyor and operate the jack to lower the table. Release of the pedal when a tote box is above the table causes it to rise for weighing and also stops the conveyor.
