ABSTRACT:
A preferred embodiment of a method for operating a vertical accumulating conveyor system is disclosed. The method includes loading of a workpiece onto a pallet assembly of a conveyor system. The workpiece may be either loaded manually or automatically using a robotic loader or other similar apparatus. The pallet assembly carrying the workpiece is moved by the conveyor system to a workstation where the pallet is stopped to allow a manufacturing operation to be performed on the workpiece. Rather than removing the workpiece from the conveyor system in order the perform the manufacturing operation, the operation is performed with the workpiece loaded on the conveyor system. Upon completion of the manufacturing operation, the pallet assembly is released from the workstation and allowed to be transported by the conveyor system to the next workstation.
