Problems solved by technology

A common drawback of the systems mentioned above is the increased production cost due to the excessively long length of the conductors
Additionally, the collector shoes remain engaged to the conductors throughout the length of the production area, which also increases wear on the collector shoes and conductors, increasing replacement, maintenance and repair costs

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The invention relates to a slide 3 for supporting a workpiece 7, such as figure 1 shown. The slide 3 generally includes a platform 8 having an upper surface 6 and an upper support 5 extending from the platform 8 and adapted to support a workpiece 7 thereon. The workpiece 7 is shown in the figure as a vehicle body. However, it could also be any other element that needs to be assembled. Each slide 3 includes electrical components 10, such as figure 2 As shown, the electrical assembly 10 has at least one contact 29 for engaging a contact on an adjacent slide to allow passage of power and, if desired, data signals between adjacent slides. Although the present invention is described in detail below for the passage of electrical power, the present invention can also be used for the transmission of data signals.

[0023] The transport assembly 2 may comprise various configurations, depending on the type of workpiece, the production task to be accomplished, the equipment, ...

Abstract

The invention relates to conveyor systems with skillets adapted with connectors to enable power to be conveyed between skillets that are abutted together along a production area. With the skillets being electrically connected, the conductor only needs to supply power the electrical receiving device of a single skillet at any given time. The conductor in turn can be limited to a length of about one skillet, which reduces the wear, as well as installation, repair and maintenance costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a transport system comprising a plurality of skilets adapted to be close together to form a mobile platform on which production tasks can be performed, and more particularly to a transport system in which the Power or data signals are provided between the individual slides and between each slide and a controller or power supply. Background technique [0002] Manufacturing plants, such as automobile assembly plants, use mobile skids to transport large parts throughout the plant. The slides are generally larger than the workpiece to provide a platform for workers to perform production tasks while multiple slides are in motion. In other words, the sledge can constitute a movable floor, enabling the worker to perform production tasks while moving with the sledge and workpiece. When the production task is completed, the worker can leave the slide by walking to the adjacent slide, or stepping from the slide to the factory f...
