ABSTRACT:
A conveying system includes a movable conveyor track with a plurality of load carrying units movable with the conveyor track for conveying workpieces along the path defined by the conveyor track. Each of the load carrying units includes a device to selectively couple and uncouple the load carrying units from the conveyor track so that the load carrying units can selectively and individually be coupled to the conveyor track for movement therewith. In one embodiment, the system includes accumulation areas at preselected locations along with counting and calculating systems to determine and control the number of load carrying units between accumulation areas. In a second embodiment, means are provided to release load carrying units at preselected time intervals from each accumulation area.
