ABSTRACT:
A modular transfer and clamping unit for positioning in alignment with a pallet conveyor system. The unit having a stationary base and a secondary frame communicating with and movable relative to the stationary base. The secondary frame having a pair of in-line sprockets at opposite ends of the secondary frame and an endless conveyor trained around the sprockets. A motor drive drives the endless conveyor. A hydraulic driven wedge assembly moves the secondary frame relative to the stationary base between a first position wherein the secondary frame is aligned with the pallet conveyor system and the second position wherein the secondary frame is displaced vertically below and parallel the first position in locked engagement with the stationary base to provide precise and repeatable pallet location while at a work station.
