Lift-and-Transfer devices are used to provide a smooth and accurate product transfer at a right angle (90?) to the original transport direction. The LAT mechanism is mounted within the conveyor frame and consists of two or more "mini belt conveyors" that reside below the roller surface when deactivated. Upon activation, the LAT device lifts the product above the conveyor surface and transports it 90 degree in either direction to a predetermined point. One Lift-and-Transfer device can transport products very precisely to multiple conveyor lanes based on bar codes or other product identification techniques. It can also transport the product to a different conveyor with a slightly higher roller surface traveling 90 degree in either direction to the original transport direction. Conversely, an activated LAT can accept a product, laterally transport it and then lower it to another conveyor traveling 90 degree in either direction to the original transport direction. Detailed technical information on the design and operation of this equipment appears in the appropriate Shuttleworth Engineering Specification available through all Shuttleworth offices.
