Stop device (1) for a
conveyor system (40) where objects (43) are conveyed on a conveyor (41), where the stop device (1) comprises a housing (2), an
actuator element (3) having a stop surface (12), and an
electric motor (4) operably connected to the
actuator element (3) such that the
electric motor (4) can control the position of the
actuator element (3), where the stop device comprises a stop position (20) in which the stop device (1) will hold an object (43) in a
fixed position by the stop surface (12), and a bypass position (22) in which the stop surface (12) is positioned outside of a
contact plane (42; 96) of the object (43) such that the object (43) can pass the stop device (1), where the actuator element (3) is provided with a braking surface (13), where the stop device (1) comprises a braking position (21) in which the braking surface (13) is positioned in the
contact plane (42; 96) such that the object (43) will bear against the braking surface (13) and such that the speed of an object (43) will slow down from a first speed to a standstill, and where the
electric motor (4) can move the actuator element (3) between the stop position (20), the braking position (21) and the bypass position (22). The
advantage of the invention is that a reliable and cost-effective stop device comprising a
brake function for an object such as a product or a
pallet conveyed in a
conveyor system is provided. The application also includes a
conveyor system comprising a stop device.
