ABSTRACT:
A conveyor transfer system is used in a foundry to transfer an article between first and second article-travel-paths. The system includes a first conveyor which has a pair of beams defining the first article-travel-path. One of the beams is movable in a vertical direction to lift an article from the other beam and for placing an article supported by the one beam on the other beam. One of the beams is movable in a horizontal direction to move an article supported thereby along the first article-travel-path. A second conveyor is provided having a pair of beams defining the second article-travel-path. The beams of the second conveyor function similar to the corresponding beams of the first conveyor. A shuttle conveyor is provided for transporting an article between the first and second conveyors. The shuttle conveyor has a first portion in alignment with the first article-travel-path to form a continuation thereof. A second portion of the shuttle conveyor is positioned in alignment with the second article-travel-path to form a continuation thereof. The shuttle conveyor also provides for transferring an article from the first portion to the second portion of the shuttle conveyor. Methods for the practice of the above system are also provided.
