ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system with a preceding conveyor (2) and a conveyor (3). The conveyor (3) has a plurality of board supports (8) for conveying circuit boards (4,5) having different widths. The board supports (8) are provided with abutment members (16) of which some coact with complementary abutment members (17). The board supports (8) are coupled to a continuous flexible member in the form of a chain (15) and are adjustable to vary a distance (20) between the abutment members (16) and the complementary abutment members (17). The board supports (8) are set by a setting actuator (6) based on widths of the circuit boards (4,5). A resetting actuator resets the board supports (8) after conveying the circuit boards (4,5). Additional embodiments of the board supports (8) include telescopic members and guides.
